Before I continue, the game is not Blade & Soul, which Tencent Games also has the rights for in China. Blade & Sword 2 is instead developed by a China studio, Pixel Soft. There are several highlights for the game, including advanced AI for all mobs and bosses, 9 different weapons to choose from including a sub-weapon system and the ability to grab, toss, float, block and start combo movements using an advanced development engine.The game is scheduled to enter its first beta phase late August.
