Naraka Fest has come and gone, and we hope you're as excited as we are about the new developments, Forerunners! From thrilling crossovers to the reveal of a brand-new map, there's a lot to take in. If you weren’t able to attend the stream, here’s a recap that should keep you up to date with all the significant announcements and updates:

New Hero: The Reticent, Kylin Zhang 
Last of the Zhang line and part of the Iron Triangle Trio, Kylin Zhang descends into the depths of the underground palaces of Perdoria to guard the Ultimate Secret beyond the Bronze Door. Using just two fingers he can block, grab and send opponents flying. With the Black-Gold Sword, a blade forged from Qilin Blood, he can activate a mystical seal channelling the powers of his ancestors to both ward off and strike foes.

Prepare for his arrival this summer during the NARAKA: BLADEPOINT x Time Raiders crossover! 



New Map: Perdoria 
Embark on a journey to discover the mysteries of the ancient underground city of Perdoria in our new map available on July 2 PT. Deep in the forbidden land of Icuria lies a city filled with danger and treasure. Perdoria was created to be the place where the Jiling Emporer could attain immortality, now its secrets are yours to uncover.

Each zone of Perdoria offers new experiences and functionality. Launch yourself across the map, set up traps for unsuspecting foes, or enjoy a brief healing respite. With more platform areas, various new gameplay features and buffs dotted across the subterranean landscape, you will clash like you never have before. Explore, fight, and claw your way to victory.



New Crossover: Tomb Raider
We’re working with Crystal Dynamics this Summer to bring a Lara Croft outfit for Matari to NARAKA Bladepoint. Perdoria may be underground, but by combining Lara Croft’s adventure gear outfit with treasure hunter extraordinaire Matari’s skills, the sky’s the limit!



New Crossover: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
This Winter heralds the arrival of a legend - Geralt, the White Wolf from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, joins NARAKA: BLADEPOINT in an electrifying new collaboration! As he ventures into the Eastern lands, grappling hooks and soaring heights will pose no challenge. With his witcher senses tuned to the chaos of combat and the folklore of the East, Geralt’s entrance heralds a new era for heroes and villains alike.

Get ready for an unparalleled crossover. Join Geralt in a crossover where legends stir and battles await. Will you stand by his side?



New Weapon: Fistblades
The NARAKA fistblades, a new weapon, evolved from humanity's primal weapon: the fists. Originating from styles as ancient as the Han Dynasty and traditional Indian combat, these blades extend the natural melee of fistfights, enriched with the Gar Kung Gu's horizontal slashes and footwork. They offer a blend of swift, close-quarter maneuvers and kicks, all while being lighter than typical weapons for enhanced agility in battle.

Mark your calendars for their arrival on July 2nd, and remember to keep those fists at the ready for this innovative addition to your combat repertoire.

Along with the introduction of the NARAKA fistblades, enthusiasts will be thrilled to hear that their favorite Naraka heroes are being transformed into adorable cat figurines, available for pre-order. Embrace the charm of these unique collectibles, perfect for displaying your love for the game in a whimsical new form.



Even More Announcements…
But that’s not all, the anticipation builds with the announcement of the KOI Cup event, where formidable competitors from the Naraka Bladepoint Pro League (NBPL) will showcase their skills. Details will follow, so fans should stay tuned for updates on this event, which is shaping up to be a highlight for the Naraka community.
