Blade & Soul Heroes launches globally with a tactical dual combat system

Blade & Soul Heroes Launches Worldwide With Dynamic Dual Combat and Cross-Platform Play

Blade & Soul Heroes is now available globally on iOS, Android, Steam, and Purple, delivering NC America’s action-MMORPG prequel to players in 195 countries. Following more than two million pre-registrations, the game debuts with full cross-platform support and a bold vision for expanding the Blade & Soul universe.

As a prequel to the original MMORPG, the game blends collectible hero progression with an anime-inspired aesthetic and over 40 playable characters at launch. New heroes like Yusol join returning legends such as Poharan, Yura, and Mushin—each offering unique abilities for flexible team building and deeper strategy. This updated version also features streamlined early-game pacing, skippable cutscenes, and tighter combat flow for a smoother onboarding experience.

The highlight remains its special dual combat system: fast real-time battles with dodge, parry, and special attacks seamlessly connect with a turn-based mode unlocked across the story’s 16 chapters. Switching between the two styles is essential, letting you choose between intense hands-on action or a more tactical auto-play approach during PvE and PvP. These improvements make it an appealing pick for players seeking “cross-platform anime RPG combat,” “mobile MMORPG with real-time and turn-based modes,” and other hybrid-combat experiences.

Additional global-launch upgrades include expanded Gear Sharing for up to 20 characters and new difficulty settings that make boss trials more customizable. And the adventure is only getting started—the first expansion, *Scorching Sands*, lands on September 30th with a level-cap increase to 40, a new desert region, and the fearsome Stalker Jiangshi awaiting in fresh dungeons and story content.
