NCSoft Announces Blade and Soul: Table Arena

South Korean developer NCSoft have announced that they are developing a spin-off from MMORPG Blade and Soul, which will combine the essence of a collectable card game (CCG) and real-time strategy (RTS) genres.

NCSoft are largely known for their work on popular MMOs such as Guild Wars and City of Heroes. They are now venturing into the virtual reality (VR) market with Blade and Soul: Table Arena.

The game will be set in the same universe as the main Blade and Soul universe and gameplay will feature characters and settings from the MMO.
