Like clockwork, Blade & Soul released its patch notes yesterday ahead of today’s New Empires update, just in case players are looking for some of the granular details of what’s arriving. Regular players of the MMO know how this works by now.
On a broader scale, this patch brings an interlude story quest where a new empress is crowned, opens up the new Hall of Trials dungeon, brings the Hoard and Gourd event back to the game, and adds a new weapon tier.
More specifically, the patch also switches content and rewards for daily and weekly missions, turns the Aerodrome and Substratum into heroic level dungeons, outlines the various rewards awaiting in the Hall of Trials, and details a new Soul Tier, a new pet aura, and a whole bunch of other accessory-related updates. The game went down for maintenance earlier today, so those who need all those detailed-filled tables will perhaps want to read up before hopping back in to the Earthen Realm.
Update
The festivities for the Empress’ coronation are taking a bit longer than expected!
New Empires is coming soon, and you can check the release details in the Patch Notes: https://t.co/kD5iAb8Z0c https://t.co/KCqQ9qGKi7

Update
Due to technical issues, the release of New Empires is currently delayed by an estimated 4 hours.
We’re sorry about this delay, and in particular to all the players who were excited to jump into this release.
We’ll issue a compensation package in the Hongmoon Store later. https://t.co/UwEh8279ZB
