Tencent Games recently announced the release of the new MMORPG game, “Blade & Soul”. The Chinese company launched a beta test for the game on October 29th. Previously, it had hinted that the theme of the launch would be “youth” and that there would be a game representative, but the identity of the representative was kept secret. Later, Tencent Games revealed that the spokesperson for “Blade & Soul” was none other than Girls’ Generation.
The girls have sponsored many games in the past, including “Dungeon Fighter”, “Maplestory”, and “Mabinogi”. For “Blade & Soul”, Tencent Games has released a CF, asking, “What is the color of youth?” The answer, of course, is, “Asia’s Popular Idol Group: Girls’ Generation”. There are several shots of the girls posing for a photoshoot before Taeyeon says, “I love ‘Blade & Soul’!” At the end of the CF, Yoona greets the viewers: “Hello, hello. Everyone, I’m Yoona. I’m waiting for you in ‘Blade & Soul’.”
Make sure to check out the CF below.

Blade & Soul is actually a Korean MMORPG by Play NC, and not a Chinese MMORPG..
Tencent games is merely the company hosting the game in China/Taiwan and also translating the game to Chinese..
Since SNSD is the spokesperson for Blade & Soul in Korea, it made sense to pick them for the Chinese version launch as well, since their population is also well known in China/Taiwan..
the North America and S.E.Asia Servers are not in beta yet.. still awaiting news of the game being translated to english and it being hosted on US servers.. probably in 2014.
