Guild Wars Publisher's New MOBA Gets Release Date

"Be your own wombo combo."

By Seth G. Macy

Publisher and developer NCSoft's multiplayer online battle arena Master x Master is leaving closed beta and hitting full-release June 21.

Founder's Packs, which offer discounts on characters and skins, are still available on the game's official site, with 3 tiers to choose from: Recruit, Soldier, and Master.

The Soldier and Master packs include name reservation, "which will be opening up soon."

NCSoft promises "a whole host of improvements" directly resulting from player feedback during the closed beta.

Master x Master has unique features to help it stand out from the MOBA crowd, including an arcade-feeling control scheme and a "tag" system that allows you to "instantly change Masters in the midst of battle," letting you "be your own wombo combo," according to the developer.

Characters in Master x Master are derived from NCSoft's deep stable of MMOs, including Guild Wars 2, Blade & Soul, WildStar, and Lineage II, making it similar to Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm, which draws similarly from Activision Blizzard properties.
