NCSoft’s all-star arena combat game Master X Master (MXM) will shut down on January 31 after only seven months in operation. The developer says the game “failed to connect with players.” Recent in-game purchases will be refunded, and all content will be unlocked until the lights go out.

NCsoft announced that it’s developing Blade & Soul for home consoles. While no specific platforms were named and no release window was given, NCsoft said it’s being developed at its U.S. branch. [Thanks, Sang!]
