Blade & Soul will be Released Early 2012?

NCSoft actually did have said they will release their latest MMORPG, Blade & Soul in 2012. But NCSoft never say when the exact date. Most likely, NCSoft will announce the date of the release of Blade & Soul GStar 2011 after the event to be held in November 2011 that will come. Based on information leaked by people in NCSoft, Blade & Soul is likely to be released, or at least entering open beta stage, at the beginning of next year, precisely in February 2012! Is the information reliable?

According to the development director of Blade & Soul, James Bae, Blade & Soul closed beta test is still needed to further solidify the third stage of the game content. James Bae even hinted the possibility of CBT fourth stage will be held if needed. If referring to the words of James Bae, then obviously Blade & Soul will not be able to hold open beta stage at the end of the year. But if you look at the success of the second phase of CBT conducted some time ago, most likely Blade & Soul will be released early next year.

Everything is speculation, but if indeed the third CBT will be held in late October 2011 or early November 2011 will run as successful as the last second CBT, it is not impossible Blade & Soul will be released in early 2012.
