Blessed Unleashed: Make Them Pray

This is a guest post from Contributor Mitchell Ford

Bandai Namco’s upcoming MMORPG Bless Unleashed will be released on Xbox One at some point in 2019 and looks to be an epic of mythical adventure.

Said to be intended for the more mature player, Bless Unleashed is set in a magical world full of giant beasts, wonderment, and storytelling. The legend goes that a fleet, caught in a storm and in dire straits, was all but lost. Until a teenage girl cries out and is aided by a God who calms the seas, stills the ships, and clears the skies.

An island can be seen where once the cloud and rain curtained from view, and inhabiting this island is the God that heard the cries of the young girl.
A misunderstanding sees the crowd of survivors fighting amongst themselves until the God Teleos pacified the crowd, and declared:

No one shall kneel before him on this island. Following in the footsteps of this brave apprentice, he would have them live as equals. So long as they treated each other with the same respect, he would protect them with eternal light.

“Remember this day,” he said as the mortals gathered around him. “When you find yourselves spoiling this land with cruelty and greed, and imagine yourselves gods among mortals, let my light be a reminder to treat each other the way I have treated you today.”

Or so the story goes.

BANDAI NAMCO

Bless Unleashed is the premier next-generation MMORPG, coming first to Xbox One.
Built for mature audiences, Bless Unleashed takes players on an epic multiplayer journey across a vibrant persistent world, and tasks the brave with battling – and surviving –vicious, lethal monsters that inhabit this untamed landscape.
Ancient betrayal and earthshaking disaster has led to thousands of years of enmity between the mortal and the divine. Now, heavenly whispers speak. The mad mistress of the dark, great and terrible Lumenas, will return to destroy the race of man and sink the earth into endless night. How long will she remain sealed before she breaks free to wreak havoc on the world?
Gather your allies close. As the unspeakable monsters of the world salivate for your grim end, stand fast and stoke your fury.
Your endless foes would see you weakened and beaten.
But you… You will make them pray.

Bless Unleashed such things as unparalleled graphics made possible through Epic’s Unreal Engine, and advanced, combo-driven game play to satiate the needs of the most hardcore MMO or RPG fan. This certainly looks like a stunning development from Round 8 Studio of NEOWIZ and Bandai Namco.
