Furthermore, Bandai Namco describes the elements players can expect in Bless Unleashed as it features a vast environment with a rich backstory explicitly tailored for MMO gamers. 

“Players will dive into an epic multiplayer journey across a vibrant persistent world where gods and mythical beast exists. Bless Unleashed takes place in an untamed world with a rich backstory created with hardcore MMO gamers in mind.”

Bless Unleashed is set to release in 2019 for the Xbox One.
