NCSOFT showcased two titles based on Blade & Soul IP—Blade & Soul Heroes and Blade & Soul NEO—at Summer Game Fest (SGF) 2025.

At SGF 2025, held on June 6 (PDT) in Los Angeles, NCSOFT unveiled trailers for both titles, highlighting its ongoing expansion of the Blade & Soul universe.

Blade & Soul Heroes is the global version of HOYEON, which first launched in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan in August 2024. It is scheduled for global release this September across 185 countries after thorough localization and optimization. Global pre-registration is now open, and it will be available on NCSOFT’s proprietary game platform PURPLE, as well as Steam, Google Play, and the Apple App Store.

Blade & Soul NEO introduced a new class, Warlock, in its latest trailer. This new medium-range caster class Warlock will be added as part of the fourth major content update coming June 24. Blade & Soul NEO is currently available via Steam and PURPLE in North America and Europe.

NCSOFT also joined IGN Live 2025, a global game showcase hosted by global media outlet IGN. During the event, Nico Coutant, Director of Production at NC America, and Andrew Gant, Community Manager, appeared on stage to discuss Blade & Soul Heroes and share insights about its gameplay. Gameplay footage is now available on IGN’s official channels.

By taking part in global game showcases, NCSOFT is strengthening its connection with players around the world and growing the international presence of its major titles.
