Bless Unleashed will grant players with varying quest lines, crafting, dungeons to clear, field bosses, 15 vs 15 PVP, and the ability to party up with friends. Before diving in, he provided us with additional information about the game and what players should expect upon release. For our off-site hands-on preview, we met with David Jaloza, producer for Bandai Namco for Bless Unleashed.ĭuring the introduction, David informed us that we would be playing the single-player combat demo. For a point of reference, I do not typically play MMORPG’s and typically lose interest in shooters that have MMO elements, however, Bless Unleashed stunned me with its beautiful visuals, fluid game mechanics, and ease of play all running on the modern Swiss army knife of engines, Unreal Engine 4. Part of this arrangement, however, was due to a last-minute scheduling change that left another staff member unable to make the appointment.
While the majority of our staff had already played the Bless Unleashed demo at PAX EAST 2019, I went into the press appointment with as little information as possible. This is packaged in a free-to-play action MMO that is scheduled to release on the Xbox One in 2019. So what exactly is Bless Unleashed? Bless Unleashed takes players on an epic multiplayer journey across a vibrant, ever-changing world and tasks the brave with battling and surviving vicious monsters that inhabit this untamed landscape. While at PAX West our writer Mike Robles, encouraged us to check it out, immediately putting Bless Unleashed on our radar. Although I was ultimately the only staff member to have a hands-on press appointment with the Bless Unleashed demo off-site, that did not stop our team from returning to the Bless Unleashed booth each day.
Even with so many games to check out and appointments to be kept though, a majority of the Marooners’ Rock staff took the opportunity to visit Bandai Namco’s booth during our free time to play Bless Unleashed. PAX East 2019 was a crazy turn of events for us here at Marooners’ Rock.
