The Bless Online Rebuild project is expected to begin closed beta testing today. Players have been able to download the client ahead of today's start in order to begin quickly. During testing, two classes will not be included in today's test, Mystic and Ranger. Features for testing include gear evolution, item stat transfer and gear "strengthening".
In mid-July, Neowiz reaffirmed its commitment to bring Bless out to Western audiences and to improve its client overall in other regions. To do so, three objectives were identified as priority items for the development team:
- checking each and every system and feature
- to "not be afraid of abandoning the current game structure and rebuilding from scratch
- adding new content
Several systems are targeted with the above objectives in mind: character growth, combat, mounts & pets, gathering & crafting, a better user experience and a more intuitive UI.
We'll be keeping eyes out for reports from Korean testers depending on NDA status.
