We’re excited to announce that our closed beta weekends will begin on October 30! Our Founder’s Pack holders will be among the first to experience the Western release of Blade & Soul.

There will be at least five beta weekends, the first two of which will focus on testing the English version of the Western release. With over 20 days of total playtime, the beta weekends will all run from Friday at 10am PDT to Monday at 10pm PDT. The extended beta weekend November 24–30 will then include all launch languages—English, French, and German, with subsequent weekends including these three languages.

Closed Beta 2015 Weekend Schedule

Weekend 1: Oct 30–Nov 2 [English only]

Weekend 2: Nov 13–16 [English only]

Weekend 3: Nov 24–30 [English, French, German]

If players don’t purchase a Founder’s Pack there will limited opportunities to gain access through the official beta signup on the Blade & Soul website. We’ll also have additional chances through beta code giveaways via official Blade & Soul social channels, as well as offers from participating partners—stay tuned for more info!

Also be sure to watch our livestream September 9 at 10am PDT over on http://twitch.tv/bladeandsoul for more info on the closed beta, and what to expect while testing.
