Blade & Soul 2 was a Korean MMORPG from NCSoft and a prequel to Blade & Soul. It launched in South Korea on 26 August 2021 on Android, iOS and PC at once, with cross-play across all versions; on PC it ran through NC's own client. Before launch NCSoft counted 7.46 million pre-registrations.
It was built on Unreal Engine 4 with PvE and PvP designed for both phones and computers. It absorbed the work of the cancelled mobile port Blade & Soul M and has little connection to the first game's story. The big pre-launch trailers focused mostly on races and character outfits.
The game stayed Korea-only and never got a Russian language option. On 17 December 2025 NC announced the closure, and the service ended on 30 June 2026.
