For the MMORPG in the eastern fantasy setting with martial arts, Blade & Soul Neo has released a major update titled "Island of Guardians" featuring a location of the same name. In addition, the game has introduced fresh story chapters with English voiceover, as well as the Spear Master class — the first exclusive class for the NEO version.

An Island Where Traditions Come to Life

The new region is designed with a visually pleasing eastern aesthetic and boasts a diverse landscape: from dense forests to mountain peaks and harsh wastelands, the skies of which are continuously guarded by dragons. In the Island of Guardians, players can expect new heroic and legendary dungeons, world bosses, and local rulers. Collectors will find new costumes, while perfectionists will enjoy a new section in the research journal, achievements, and sketches (the latter directly influence character leveling).

New Class

The Spear Master first appeared in the Middle World specifically in the NEO version. According to the lore, masters from the Sheng race have managed to harness dark energy and learned to use it in combat. With this energy, the Spear Master can not only deal significant damage but also immobilize opponents using demonic chains. As a weapon, they wield an elegant spear, which allows for medium-range combat and the use of key techniques up to 20 meters away.

First Step Towards Complete Dubbing

With the update, all story dialogues and cutscenes on the Island of Guardians are now voiced in Russian. The developers plan to fully dub previously released content and maintain localization in all future patches.

The voiceover features professional voice actors, including:

  • Olga Shorokhova, who lent her voice to Daenerys Targaryen from "Game of Thrones," Peppa Pig, and over 400 other characters;
  • Denis Bespaly — voiced characters played by Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, and others;
  • Elena Ivasishina — dubbed roles of actresses: Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Eva Green, and Jessica Biel. Elena is also the official voice of Aunt May Parker in the solo Spider-Man films.
  • Kirill Radzig, known to many as the voice of Dr. House.

Some of the actors had previously participated in the voiceover for the old version of Blade & Soul.

Continuation of the Story and Useful Rewards

On the Island of Guardians, players can look forward to 17 new storyline chapters. Thanks to cutscenes with Russian voice, they will be able to dive deeper into the narrative, and along the way, they will receive new gear.

Also, in honor of the update, several in-game activities have been launched with generous rewards and the Master’s Path, which will guarantee and allow players to strengthen obtained items for free.
