[2023] Everything Announced at NARAKA Fest 2023

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

The Naraka Fest live stream has just concluded. For those who missed the stream, or just want a recap on everything that was shown off—we’ve created this Naraka Fest stream recap so you can find all of our announcements in one place!

New Weapon + Gameplay Details

Introducing Dual Halberds the congeneric weapon of the Dual Blades. These blades are as sharp as they are intricate. A spear-sword hybrid, they allow for quick and punishing combos where their horizontal Focus attack can actually launch enemies airborne. This combined with their dashing uppercut can put pressure on your opponent and are sure to help you turn the tide in your matches.



You can actually try them this Saturday, July 8 on the NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Test Server!

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT New Hero - Tessa

Tessa is the newest hero to join us in Season 9. She will be available to play on August 9. As a descendant of the Tushan, she has a kinship with the kitsune. Able to fuse with them, her vulpine form exhibits both beauty and danger. Playful, fun, and chaotic, you never know when she smiles if it marks her own happiness or your imminent demise (maybe both)!

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will transition to a free-to-play game as well as launch on PlayStation 5 on July 13. To mark this momentous occasion there are a variety of rewards for existing players and for new PlayStation players. Our full FAQ for free-to-play and PS5 can be found here[www.narakathegame.com].
