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 developer 24 Entertainment hosted a Naraka: Bladepoint live stream to celebrate its 3rd Anniversary in which they unveiled the brand new underground map, Perdoria, set to launch after the July 2nd update, as well as news of two exciting new IP collaborations with Tomb Raider and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, scheduled for the second half of 2024.

Additionally, a new hero, Kylin Zhang, a collaboration with Chinese famous novel Time Raider, will also join the fray this summer!

For the first time in two years, Naraka will be releasing an original map, Perdoria. Differing from the previous map styles, Perdoria will feature the majestic underground imperial city of Jiling and a striking subterranean landscape that offers more platform areas that are perfect for combat. There's also a ton of mechanisms and buffs scattered around to emulate the thrill of the battlefield like never before. Perdoria includes the Fortune Land, which grants players effects such as free revivals, auto-healing Remains, rapid recovery upon defeating foes... It all comes together to bring even more excitement to the world of Naraka: Bladepoint.

In this mysterious and audacious new map, Naraka: Bladepoint will welcome the arrival of adventurers from all walks of life. The White Wolf, Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and his companions will be venturing into NARAKA this winter, entering a mysterious eastern land. Meanwhile, we’re working with Crystal Dynamics and Tomb Raider this summer to bring a Lara Croft-inspired outfit to Naraka: Bladepoint.  Additionally, they will both join our new hero, Kylin Zhang, a legendary character from the famous Chinese novel Time Raiders, who will enter NARAKA in the summer as well, embarking on a journey into the ancient underground palace.

As teased on April 1st, Naraka will indeed be introducing a hand-to-hand combat weapon :The Fistblades -  built upon man's first 'weapon', his own two fists. Remember to keep those fists up and let loose upon your enemies with the debut of Fistblades in game on July 2nd!

The Third Anniversary will provide players with plenty of rewards and events as they explore the new map, uncover treasures and complete new missions in Perdoria to earn rewards such as free outfits. By obtaining Destiny Stones from matches, players can participate in the event named Prosperous Grotto to earn rare rewards. Over the course of the Third Anniversary, treasures will drop on all maps at designated times and the first adventurers to discover these treasures can obtain Antique Chests and have the chance to acquire legendary outfits and in-game items.

Finally and in order to provide players with a more immersive adventure experience, the development team of 24 Entertainment has hidden an Easter egg in the mysterious new map. Players should definitely make sure not to miss it, as there may be unexpected rewards!

Attention, forerunners! It’s time to unearth adventures beyond.
