[h3]Can players expect to see a PC beta before the end of the year?[/h3]
Our plans are to conduct two Closed Beta testing in 2020, and a goal of official launch in early 2021. The first CBT will be done in Steam, and the second CBT will be conducted in NEOWIZ's own platform. We are also planning to compensate those who passionately participate in our Closed Beta testing in the near future. It would be our honor to have our PC users to be able to experience Bless Unleashed beforehand and provide awesome feedback directly to us, here in Round8 Studio
[h3]What is the difference between Bless Online and Bless Unleashed?[/h3]
Due to the name “Bless” and the use of similar graphical resources, the community misunderstood as being the same game. From the start of the development, a new development studio was deployed called, “Round 8 Studio” and created an entirely new game and content. As our players experience Bless Unleashed, it would be difficult to find the similarities from it’s previous predecessor, Bless Online. Please be on the lookout for our upcoming Closed Beta testing to experience Bless Unleashed first hand.
[h3]Any plans on compensating the community burnt by the last pc release of Bless?[/h3]
Besides sharing the same worldview and the name Bless, Bless Unleashed is an entirely different game from it's predecessor, Bless Online. And we understand the concerns from players of Bless Online community due to the publishers being the same. While it is impossible to compensate every player in Bless Online, with assistance from Valve, we plan to allow players who have downloaded Bless Online a guaranteed participation in our upcoming Closed Beta Testing. We will also look into other ways to hopefully adequately compensate the players as well.
[h3]Will there be other language support for the PC version?[/h3]
PC platform will be supporting English, German, French, Korean, Chinese and Japanese. We also plan to expand our language support based on the active users for specific regions. And lastly, certain language supports will be restricted in our Closed Beta testing but will be available in our official service launch.
[h3]Will the PC version share the monetization model as Xbox? (E.g Bless pass, Lumena Shop) and not P2W (Pay to Win)?[/h3]
As Bless Unleashed is serviced globally, the products and items being offered in our Xbox platform will be the same for the PC platform. However, in distinct cases, based on the region or country, special events or sales may be provided.
[h3]Will the PC version have faster combat compared to console?[/h3]
It is our objective to maintain the same level of overall combat experience as in our console platform. We are not considering changing the combat experience for each platform but we are looking at ways to increase the pace of combat through options such as items that increase speeds of combat in-game.
[h3]Are there any plans to introduce any new classes in the future?[/h3]
Yes, we definitely have plans to add additional classes. We are unable to provide further details but once it's ready, we will inform our community at the appropriate time.
[h3]Will there be Fishing content in the near future?[/h3]
The console version will also have fishing content in one of our upcoming updates as well as in the PC version as well. As Fishing content is added so will there be new higher grade recipes and players would also be able to utilize their catch as ingredients for Alchemy or just simply show off your collection.
[h3]Will the PC version support Colorblind mode?[/h3]
It is currently being considered. The delay is due to mainly trying to identify the areas of the game that may be affected. And due to the sheer amount of content in the game, it will take some time.
[h3]Will we be able to see class gameplay before the Closed Beta testing?[/h3]
Of course, before our Close Beta testing, we will give our players the chance to see how the controls and gameplay would be for our PC version. It is our objective to inform our players with as much information as possible. And be sure to check out our official PC homepage at blessunleashedpc.com.
