Blade & Soul has been under development by NCsoft's Korean studio since 2006, with Kim Hyung Tae working as the art director who was responsible for the art design of The War of Genesis and Magna Carta. With a focus on oriental-style martial arts, Blade & Soul combines various familiar subjects such as breathing exercises (Qigong), inner power (Neigong) training and fly skills (Qinggong).
