Battle of Blades is supposed to launch in Japan on 27 November, but the game is nowhere to be seen until now. In addressing the issue, Square Enix released an announcement yesterday (28 November) stating that the game launch has been delayed to optimize the multiplayer servers.
According to the official announcement above, the company apologized for their decision to delay the game until the servers are ready to handle the massive amount of players (instead of endless server maintenance at launch). No future release date is available yet, stay tuned with us as we will update you with the latest information.
