Naraka: Bladepoint is a free multiplayer action game that offers close-range action set on the mysterious Eastern region called Morus.

Naraka: Bladepoint is a 60-player unchained multiplayer combat title that features a boundless movement system that allows players to climb, hang, and even parkour.

With an aim-at-whatever-you-want grappling hook and a sophisticated yet beginner-friendly combat system involving accessible block & parry mechanics, Naraka: Bladepoint is designed to provide a brand-new experience of melee combat and world exploration.

Integrating Eastern aesthetics and philosophy, Naraka: Bladepoint presents a forsaken realm of splendid landscapes as well as inexplicable enigmas.

Over the weekend developer 24 Entertainment and publisher NetEase Games hosted its inaugural Naraka Fest, which featured exciting announcements for Naraka: Bladepoint including upcoming Bruce Lee skins, crossovers with Fall Guys and Shadow Warrior, and more.

To celebrate an exciting year for Naraka, 24 Entertainment announced a free weekend for players from December 17th at 8 am PST through December 21st at 8 am PST. New players will be able to explore and learn Naraka at their own pace as matchmaking will be divided between players that already own the game and those trying out the game for the first time. The highlight of Naraka Fest was the revealing of the Bruce Lee / Naraka crossover event. Players can gear up in official Bruce Lee apparel: with eight new outfits in total that take inspiration from Lee’s iconic films. Outfits for male characters will be available for Tarka Ji, Tianhai, Temulch, and Yueshan.

When designing the Bruce Lee outfits for Naraka’s female characters 24 Entertainment was inspired by Lee's unrestrained flowing movements and limitless martial prowess. Players can unlock outfits for Viper Ning, Matari, Kurumi, and Valda.

The Bruce Lee outfits for Kurumi, Yueshan, Tianhai, and Valda will be available beginning on December 14th, at 11 am CST / December 13th 7pm PST. The remaining Bruce Lee outfits will be introduced in the weeks to follow. Commemorating Lee’s kung-fu ‘system’, Jeet Kune Do — Nunchucks, an all-new melee weapon, will arrive in Naraka on December 14th.

NARAKA Fest also saw an update on NARAKA’s Global Championship. The Naraka: Bladepoint World Championship, now underway.
