However, for a niche realistic wuxia MMORPG, I dare you to find a better looking one. Black Desert Online looks better!” – True, Black Desert does look better, especially with its remaster. But be glad Gameforge or My.com didn’t get their hands on this – they ruined the MMORPGs they got recently and I’m glad Nexon got Moonlight Blade.
“ Nexon? Ew! It’s going to go pay to win!” – Yes, that’s completely plausible. Now I know what some of you are going to say. Well, that and the fact that the vast majority of Nexon’s overall revenue comes from both China and Korea. and trust me, the game is absolutely huge, both in actual scale, and in terms of how much text there is to translate, I can understand why it’s taking them so long. What we can be certain of, though, is that Nexon is definitely still at work localizing the game for a Western release.Īnd with how large the game is. While several of those games already have confirmed release dates, Moonlight Blade does not. Listed for release in North America were games like MapleStory M, Overhit, A圎, Magia, Final Fantasy XI Mobile, and. However, in Nexon’s recent financial report to their investors, they outlined their activities and plans for the future. Then, we got over a year and a half of complete silence on the issue. Now, back on January 7, 2017, I did a (very poor, admittedly, in retrospect) video detailing how Nexon had gained publishing rights for Moonlight Blade – and that we could expect information in the near future regarding its release.Īll we had confirmed was that it was coming both to North America and Europe. you won’t be able to play this either, unfortunately. If you’re IP blocked from playing Vindictus, MapleStory, Riders of Icarus or any of their other games. I’m aware that is because Nexon is required to purchase distribution, operating, and publishing licenses in those countries but you can be certain a lot of the world is going to be IP blocked from playing Moonlight Blade. Nexon is widely known for IP blocking a lot of countries – such as the majority of South East Asia, Russia, Germany, Ukraine, and various other European countries. Moonlight Blade is being released in the West by Nexon. If you didn’t pick up on my pointing out “some of Europe” earlier, though, allow me to elaborate a little. While I’m sure Moonlight Blade will have a following when it comes over to both North America and some of Europe, I can guarantee the playerbase is going to be quite niche. well, that should be enough to give you an idea of why there are so many players playing concurrently. So China alone has a population larger than both North America and Europe combined.Īdd onto that there are more gamers in Asian countries than in Western countries and.
Tallied together, North America and Europe combined have a total population of a little over 1.3 billion. Europe has a population of over 740 million. To put that into context: North America has a population of over 580 million. It was met with quite the reception – with Wiggy and I logging in around mid 2017 and seeing the starter areas housing – and I’m not exaggerating here – hundreds of new players.īut then that is to be expected – the population of China is over 1.4 billion. Moonlight Blade was originally released in China back in July of 2015 by Tencent, one of China’s largest gaming developers. Moonlight Blade is a wuxia themed action MMORPG with gorgeous graphics and combat comparable to something like Blade and Soul.
If you’re not already in the loop, allow me to give you a quick rundown of what the game is. After radio silence for what seems like an eternity, evidence has come to light pertaining to the release of Moonlight Blade in the West.
