251s Today, we'll share with you our future development plans
255s And they are truly “Unchained"
257s First, we'd like to introduce our martial arts cultural inheritance project: "Martial Infinity"
264s In 2021, NARAKA was honored to collaborate with the Bruce Lee Foundation
270s and pass on Bruce Lee's martial spirit
274s For this year's project, we travel around the country and promote martial arts culture
279s with the help of many, carrying on Bruce Lee's legacy
283s 24 Entertainment launched the "Martial Infinity" project in collaboration with Global Times
291s All masters shall gather in NARAKA
294s We visited artists, schools, and associations of martial arts
299s and received massive support and attention from all over the country
304s We invited great martial artists to assist us in motion capture, creative design, and production
310s And sent developers, content creators, and professional players to the Shaolin Temple
315s to experience the most fundamental martial arts culture
319s waking up at 5 in the morning every day to practice
325s These experiences will have a profound impact on the game's future development
330s as well as the dissemination of martial arts culture
334s In terms of hero cosmetics, we took inspiration from Bruce Lee collab outfits
339s and produced five martial arts outfits
342s They respectively mix elements of Tai Chi, Shaolin, Wing Chun, Xingyiquan, and Bajiuan
347s each bringing a flow to combat akin to their spirit
351s Of course, we've also prepared weapons with classic moves for these martial arts schools
358s Tai Chi, a blend of the ancient Chinese philosophies and fist fighting
364s This Tai Chi themed Kung Fu Changshan uses black and white to symbolize the duality of Yin and Yang
370s It features embroideries from the cradle of Tai Chi, the Wudang Mountains, along with cloud elements
380s While representative of Tai Chi, it also fits Wuchen like a glove
386s Shaolin is a profound martial art that emphasizes the oneness of Zen
391s Shaolin disciples are upholders and enforcers of justice, Tianhai being a great example
397s When designing the Shaolin themed outfit
399s We decided to go for the iconic bright orange color of Shaolin monk robes
405s and added patterns of mountains, pines, and rocks representing the monk's toughness
411s resilience, and Shaolin's birthplace
414s Wing Chun, a martial arts school that recently garnered worldwide attention
419s originated in Southeast China
423s Wing Chun is famed for rapid and pinpoint movements
427s Custom-made for Feria Shen
429s The outfit takes the colors of a landform at China's southeastern coast
436s The embroideries feature cloud-shaped hills and soaring birds
440s and also represent Wing Chun moves which are never-ending and free-formed
444s Xingyiquan is a style of martial arts
447s that applies the characteristic movements of
450s twelve animals from the animal kingdom and legends alike
456s It seeks not to resemble in form but in nature without restraint
461s We also designed lots of linear elements for Tessa to represent the changing moves of Xingyiquan
466s and added animal imagery such as crane feathers and fox tails
470s to symbolize the changing nature of the Xingyiquan style
474s It is written in a classical literary work that
477s Bajiquan is "a force that reaches far and wide"
481s It focuses on rapid, forceful and deadly strikes
485s "Punches to crumple the heavens and stomps to shatter the earth"
490s Zai, the best assassin in the Annica, has trained herself into a merciless weapon
495s like how their fists of are like spears and their bodies shields

556s When talking about Shaolin Kung Fu, the Shaolin staff comes to mind
560s The Staff Souljade is mighty with a sense of True Zen

580s The Dual Halberds Souljade is a force that is as swift and terrible as a whirlwind

753s Next, I'm going to introduce a new hero and an old friend of ours
758s She was featured in the first official poster of NARAKA
760s and mentioned many a time throughout Yueshan's backstory
764s You guessed it. She's Shayol, governor of the Golden Keepers of Icuria
769s The Golden Keepers is akin to Icuria's policing department and Shayol is its top agent
777s She's dedicated to solving crimes
779s and enforcing the law and has brought to justice countless outlaws
784s In a sense, she's the keeper of order in Icuria
787s As the Governor of the Golden Keepers, Shayol has her own special weapon
792s a Vortex Shield that can attack and defend in changing forms
797s It is a divine artifact of an ancient Sovereign
800s made of the tortoise Vortex's shell from its last tribulation.
805s Because no one was able to wield it, it had been kept sealed away all this time in Icuria
810s that is, until Shayol brought it to its full glory
814s As for Shayol's relationship with the Imperial Chamber of Icuria,
817s we will reveal more in future updates
820s Now, let's take a look at the legendary Vortex Shield and what it looks like in action
825s Shayol's Shield Bash has her smash into nearby enemies during [Square Shield] and knock them airborne
830s Her Shield Bash: Rush has her assume Shield Stance during [Square Shield]
835s Then just press again to charge
839s Her ultimate, Justiciar's Guard, fully unleashes the Force of the Black Tortoise
844s gaining multiple auto blocks while during [Round Shield]
848s The Round Shield is a mechanic with massive impact,
851s as long as she has an auto block left, Shayol will use [Shield Block] to negate all damage
857s whenever she takes stagger effects
860s If she is hit again in this state
862s another block action will be triggered without consuming auto blocks
866s That means, even if the enemy focuses all their attacks on Shayol while Justiciar's Guard is active
872s she may still come out unscathed
875s Of course, Shayol can also attack with Justiciar's Guard.
878s Simply press again to send the [Round Shield] flying toward the enemy
883s If you are using Justiciar's Guard, press again when Shield Block is triggered
888s and the shield will cause damage to those hit
891s but also bind them with a powerful [Shield Lock]
894s This can be followed up with other moves—bringing criminals to swift justice
899s Justiciar's Guard: Pursuit focuses on Shayol's pursuit abilities.
904s While active, she marks the first enemy to trigger her block
907s And for as long as this mark lasts, all you have to do is press the enhanced skill again,
911s and Shayol will teleport behind the enemy and attack them
915s The mark and teleport both have great reach and ignore walls as well
920s That's to say, there's no escaping when she sets her eyes on you
925s Our new hero, Shayol, coming soon in early 2024
934s You might also have noticed the cool weapon she's brandishing
937s That's right, we're adding a new weapon, Heng Sword.
941s It combines the grace of swords and might of blades, a weapon of culture and power
946s The Heng Sword, coming soon on January 4th.
