During 2012's G-Star convention in South Korea, Neowiz announced "Bless", the latest MMO in development that will join its growing stable of games. Bless is said to be "photo-realistic" so we caught up to Lead Producer Jacob Han to find out more about the game. Read what he has to say and then leave us your thoughts in the comments.

MMORPG.com: Give us an overview of BLESS, the game play looks amazing.

Jacob Han: BLESS is a classic MMORPG in a medieval European setting. To us, the most important elements of an MMORPG are not only immersive graphics and combat, but also a strong setting, story and even NPC dialogue, all intertwining in a complex, yet engaging manner. You will be able to step into an entirely new world that is both believable and comprehensive, made possible by BLESS’s background story, which we have taken painstaking effort to build. In BLESS, you will be able to adventure with intriguing characters against a realistic backdrop. Unlike traditional MMORPGs, players will be motivated to engage in a variety of role-play scenarios. This is because each faction and race has a different background setting and story influenced by the player’s decisions. The game provides constant feedback to the players to bring life to a living, breathing world full of adventure. You don’t simply play the game to acquire new armor sets and gain levels, but to experience honor, sacrifice, friendship or burning vengeance.

This looks promising. The scenery is beautiful at least and that elephant looks amazing. If the gameplay is as good as the pretties it will be outstanding.

According to this site http://bestfreemmorpg2013.com/upcoming-games-list/ Bless will be a F2P game.

Saw this title some time ago and was wondering if it was goin to be just another theampark or something more. Im on Team P2P so seeing the f2p tag spooks me some. If anyone has any in depth info on this title please link away!

combat system and pvp are important, this is what sticks at the end...sandbox features arent worth anything without good combat system and pvp

Odd, A Tale in the Desert had no combat or PvP and seemed to do rather well for itself...

Going to have to agree, after watching the videos I believe it will make a decent F2P game but there really isn't anything "there". Just reminds me of Aion.

looks like another point and click combat system with a boring korean development mentality. you can sugar coat all you want, it will end up being another Aion.

point and click combat system is outdated, people should take what TERA did with their combat system and improve and intergrate it.

but either way this game is a pass for me.

"experience honor, sacrifice, friendship or burning vengeance"

This is all just fluff text. How can a game offer honor, sacrifice, and vengeance? lol
