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.

NetEase Games and 24 Entertainment continue to bring players update after update, with Naraka now in its second year, there’s no sign of the 60-player unchained action battle royale slowing up. 

August saw a whole new map, Holoroth, as well as a new healing hero (Zipin Yin) and the first chapter of a new PvE campaign mode, known simply as ‘Showdown’. Yet 2022 still has plenty in store for NARAKA’s combatants; as revealed here in the above NARAKA TGS trailer. In October the second chapter of the Showdown campaign will be made available to players. With the second outing covering more ground than the first; featuring new enemies, a new boss and loads more content.

While Holoroth has already vastly increased Naraka’s play area, a mysterious meteorological phenomenon is about to offer players quite a lot more of Holoroth to explore. Buried within a huge iceberg, the major city of Yushan Ruins has long been hidden from view, but as Holoroth’s temperatures rise and the ice melts away, Yushan is set to be revealed to all.
