Master X Master Will Arrive In The West Later This Year

NCSoft's franchise-based MOBA Master X Master will arrive in "North America and Europe later this year!" according to the Western MXM twitter account. Like Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm, Master X Master features characters from NCSoft games like Blade & Soul, WildStar, and Lineage.

Unlike other MOBAs Master X Master emphasizes PvE content, with over 25 maps and 5 difficulty settings to challenge players. And, perhaps the most interesting mechanic, players choose two characters for each match and swap them like a tag-team with one click.

It will be interesting to see how Master X Master fares in the West. NCSoft's franchise line-up is not as familiar to a Western audience as Blizzard's cast of characters. But with unique mechanics and PvE gameplay elements it may offer enough novelty to stand on its own.
