60-player battle royale

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is a soon-to-be free-to-play action game that offers crazy 60-player combat battles as well as extraordinary mobility. It is equipped with impressive parkour along with an interactively designed map tool that enables you to roam Morus Island with freedom. Through its grappling hook, you will be able to eliminate and outwit the opponents you'll encounter.

You can even utilize the vast arsenal of melee and ranged weapons provided in-game and transform yourself with your chosen hero among the roster of characters with powerful abilities. Battlefield V, New World, and SCUM grant the same exciting adventure as Naraka.

Crush as many enemies as you can

In NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, melee combat will meet battle royale gameplay. It gives off diverse character skills that allow you to savor the thrill of clashing blades and flying arrows on the battlefield. A fresh resurrection system and a vertical map design can also be utilized within the game, which will be vital for you to plan your attack and defense.

From the shoulder of a giant Buddha to the highest peaks of mountains, you can walk, climb, and jump on each path you will find. There's nothing impossible here in Naraka, where you can reach every place you see, from the rusted chains of floating coffins to the secret trails of an abandoned mine. Become godlike through your armed clutch hooks that can be aimed at anyone, anytime and anywhere you wish.

Surprise your opponents with ambush and deadly long-range takedowns. You can hide in the darkness and patiently wait for the perfect moment to strike. If there's an opportunity, you can take the chance and zip through obstacles to swoop on your target. However, there are certain battles wherein it would be wiser for you to avoid. Your discretion should be smart whenever planning to attack, join or escape the clash.

Enjoy the new Showdown Campaign

The story mode chapter of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT features extra Showdown campaign content. With its relaxed gameplay and stylish art style, it's the perfect game to play when you're tired from the action-packed PVP mode. Furthermore, the hero, Tianhai, who can become a gigantic Vajra warrior combined with the exclusive Souljade, can perform a powerful counterstrike combo. Moreover, in Enigma Domain, monsters grow more powerful as you continue to fight them. You will win greater rewards if you defeat more monsters before time runs out.

Souljade can be found in all levels of Showdown with an ice-wielding attribute in this game. Meanwhile, Ice Essence is a limited resource that can be obtained by completing weekly challenges. Ice Essence can impart an ice-wielding ability to those Souljades who do not have it naturally. The more Souljades you equip, the stronger your ice-wielding skills will be. With higher ice-wielding levels, you can do significantly more damage to Astral Aegis and is less susceptible to Frostbite Omens.

There are 30 new Showdown Souljades that have been added, which include the following:

  • Seven Ice Souljades of melee weapon.
  • Six ranged weapons.
  • four other special effects.
  • Five Souljades that enhance ranged attack and weaponry chest boon.
  • Exclusive Souljades that enhance Temluch, Tianhai, and Matari’s ultimates.
  • Defuse dash counterattack and concentrate.
  • Defuse combo counterattack and concentrate. 

Hyping up the battlefield with new content

As announced during the Naraka Fest livestream, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will shift to a free-to-play model following the game’s release on PlayStation 5 on July 13. Players who bought the game will be compensated with Gold, with those owning the Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate editions getting 1,960 Gold, 3,360 Gold, and 4,960 Gold, respectively. Ten Glory Chest Choice Gifts, an outfit for the character Viper Ning, and an exclusive avatar companionship are included, as well.

In the next few months, there will be a slew of new content and features for players to keep an eye out on, such as the 12v12 Capture the Spirit Well as well as events and rewards to commemorate the game’s anniversary. The charming fox demon Tessa will also make her debut, along with the all-new Dual Halberds — a deadly weapon that is a cross between a sword and a spear, perfect for players who want to unleash devastating combos on their opponents.

This action-packed title will soon feature a 3D lobby, allowing users to run around the map while waiting for the match to begin. Players should also expect a collaboration between NARAKA: BLADEPOINT and Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, in addition to the release of themed seasonal skins inspired by the god of four seasons and the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Additional downloadable content
