A whole slew of Blade & Soul screenshot has emerged from the closed beta of the upcoming martial arts action MMORPG by NCSoft.
Many of the pictures feature the many NPCs that will be included in the game, and showcase the graceful and peculiar art style of the character designer Hyung-tae Kim (that we know for the Magna Carta series). A lot os skin is also shown, but that's another of Hyung-tae Kim's trademarks, not to mention a staple of Korean MMORPGs.
Nothing is yet known about a possible western release of the game, but since it's a major production for NCSoft, I'd be really surprised if we didn't hear something soon.
You can enjoy the full, enormous gallery beyond the cut.
