[현장+]Taecjin returns as a developer, talking about’Bulso 2′

NCsoft CEO Kim Taek-jin took on the stage with a new work’Blade & Soul 2 (hereinafter Bulso 2)’ to be released within this year. As much as today,’Taek Jin-i hyung’, who has a friendly image in the advertisement, is not a chief executive (CEO), who achieved the highest performance in history by surpassing 2 trillion won in annual sales last year.

Bulso 2, not Bulso M?… “It is different from the original”

Bulso 2 is a numbering title that NC put forth 18 years after the online game’Lineage 2′. This can be interpreted as meaning that it conveys a completely new story while inheriting the worldview of the previous work. Just as Lineage and Lineage 2 are different games,’Blade & Soul’ and Bulso 2 have different textures.

On the 9th, CEO Kim took the title of Chief Creativity Officer (CCO) rather than the CEO. He took luck saying, “I came here today as a person who participated in the development of Bulso 2, not the company’s representative.”

Bulso 2 was known as the mobile version of the original Blade & Soul at the time of planning. In line with this, the project was named’Blade & Soul M’inside. However, CCO Kim, who participated in the development, explained that Bulso 2 was confirmed as the final title to give it a different meaning from the original.

CCO Kim said, “Bulso 2 started with a project called Bulso M. We succeeded in breaking the technical limitations that we thought would be impossible, so we changed it to a completely new IP, not a sequel to the original work.”

“MMO genre best action goal”

The distinction of Bulso 2, which CCO Kim put forward, can be largely divided into’action’ and’lightweight’ systems.

In the case of the action, the precision was raised to a level where the point of time and range of the shot can be visually checked and reacted. He explained, “I wanted to implement extremely free action even in the MMORPG genre through the judgment system.”

It is also possible to play an action that allows you to continuously woven the action you want at the moment you want by using the martial arts linker. Choosing a good evasion technique can lead to escape from the siege, as well as confusing two or more opponents to attack each other. This is a system that allows you to’team kill’ just by evading if the opponent’s skill is used in the space that escapes through the lateral movement.

The practicality of the’light air’ system, which was limited to a vehicle in other games, has also been expanded.

CCO Kim emphasized, “I wanted to create a new meaning of light industry,” and emphasized that “the goal of this project is to lead to gameplay, not just a means of transportation such as running or flying.”

In Bulso 2, you can experience various sprinting methods such as sliding or drifting according to’light maneuvering’, which is a means of moving around the world in the game. Light crafts such as’Susangbi’,’Cheonsangbi’, and’Sungcheonbi’ are used as a means of exploring the world and revealing stories beyond simple means of transportation.

CCO Kim said, “In Bulso 2, it was designed to avoid or counterattack other people’s attacks through the light aircraft.” You will be able to feel it.”

Bulso 2, which started pre-reservation from 2 pm on this day, will also be installed on the cross platform’Purple’ after launch. CCO Kim plans to add a core lineup through Bulso 2 and expand its cross-platform response area following’Lineage 2M’, the leading player in surpassing KRW 2 trillion in annual sales last year.

He emphasized that “Bulso 2 aims to reach the peak of the action that can be shown in the MMORPG genre,” he said. “With free action achieved through technological innovation, it will run on cross-platforms such as cloud and console as well as PC and mobile.” .
