Blade & Soul NEO Moonwater Plains, Part 3 Update Launches Next Week

The next update for Blade & Soul NEO — Moonwater Plains, Part 3 — launches on May 27 via the PURPLE platform on PC.

This new expansion adds two Legendary Dungeons: The Twisted Labyrinth and Highland Exile; each offers challenging content set in the corrupted Dark Realm. These dungeons promise high-level encounters, layered boss battles, and a continuation of the Moonwater Plains series story.

In The Twisted Labyrinth, players descend through three levels of chambers, fighting automatons and supernatural enemies. The bosses include Minou — a mechanical minotaur, Raijin and Fujin — elemental deities, and Tempest Lord — the combined form of Raijin and Fujin. The Twisted Labyrinth incorporates platform-based traversal mechanics too.

Highland Exile is an area that is overrun by demonic tree-spirits birthed from a rift to the Dark Realm. Players will face grotesque foes like the Soul Thresher and Colossal Hexwood, both of which feed on lost souls. 

More updates for the free-to-play MMORPG are expected through summer 2025.
