At Gamescom 2014, one of the Bladeandsouldojo members managed to talk with the Product Manager of BnS and shared a few key points:
-The release date is aimed for 2015 with a Beta in “early 2015”
-The western client will be based on the Chinese client, that means some reworked features and probably some censorship
-Payment model is still unknown
