Blade & Soul is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by NCsoft's Team Bloodlust, released in 2012 for PC. Set in an East Asian-influenced fantasy world, the game features character designs created by acclaimed illustrator Hyung-tae Kim, whose distinctive visual style shapes the aesthetic of the title's cast. As an MMORPG, it places players in a persistent online world where they interact with others while progressing through the game's content. The involvement of a prominent illustrator in the character design process gives Blade & Soul a notably stylized appearance that sets it apart visually within the genre. The game was produced under NCsoft, a South Korean publisher with an established presence in the online role-playing space, with Team Bloodlust serving as the dedicated internal studio behind the project.
