24 Entertainment of global games developer and operator NetEase Games is proud to have hosted its inaugural NARAKA FEST, which featured exciting announcements for NARAKA including upcoming Bruce Lee skins, crossovers with Fall Guys and Shadow Warrior, and more.


To celebrate an exciting year for NARAKA, 24 Entertainment announced a free weekend for players from December 17th at 8 am PST through December 21st at 8 am PST. New players will be able to explore and learn NARAKA at their own pace as matchmaking will be divided between players that already own the game and those trying out the game for the first time.


The highlight of Naraka Fest was the revealing of the Bruce Lee / NARAKA crossover event. Players can gear up in official Bruce Lee apparel: with a new outfit for Tianhai that takes inspiration from Lee's unrestrained flowing movements and limitless martial prowess. Outfits for other male and female characters Inspired by Bruce Lee will be available ... Read more

1. Will there be any crossover announcements?

Yes! There will be not one, not three, but five major collabs! The crossovers will be a variety of titles, from games well-known in the west and some popular titles in the East. Some of these crossovers have been (bean?!) asked quite frequently from the devs, and we're happy to see that you have guessed some of the games we're collabing with correctly! Some collabs, however; the players haven't figured out just yet!



2. Where can I watch the show? Will it be available in languages other than English?

The show will be available in English, Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese, and we will also upload subtitles on YouTube to make it easier for players of different languages to watch.
The livestream will be on the official YouTube and Twitch channels in each language, and we have also made an integrated livestream page for your convenience. The detailed address will be released later!

This week, our Performance Optimization Group has been adapting and integrating the latest hardware and display technology for NARAKA.

On October 31, Intel released its 12th generation Core processors, containing large and small core architectures; with the optimization of both cores being the latest and greatest challenge. Before the processors were officially launched, key members of our newly-established Performance Optimization Group began multiple rounds of optimization tests, working in tandem with Intel engineers.

Through thread priority settings, the number of working threads was adjusted and optimized, enabling optimum performance with the new architecture. So much so that game performance improvement is really very obvious on the i9, i7 and i5 — with an average frame rate improvement of around 10%. Even as much as 20% in some instances.

After the CPU was released, the team released the optimization for the 12th generation CPU for the first ti... Read more

1. Can the devs add an icon below the team status bar showing the ultimate cooldown so that players don’t have to ask teammates frequently? It would also help players' judge the battlefield situation.
A: There is already an icon below the team status bar showing if players' ultimates are ready or not. Adding the cooldown as well, we think, will be too much information on the UI.

2. Could it be possible to save all the settings in Custom Match so that we can load the same settings next time we create a new lobby?
A: This is a great idea at making custom lobbies much more convenient. Thank you for the idea and this has been passed on for consideration!

3. Dyeing hair gives players a lot of freedom in character customization. Will there be more options for hairstyle customization in the future?
A: We are currently in the works of developing a dye highlight function, which will be available soon.

4. Choosing the same hero in the Duo mode is too i... Read more

1. Can we have a pre-set for each hero’s weapon skins?

The function of customized content such as matching different weapon skins according to different outfits is already in the works, Our goal is to allow players to mix and match the appearance content more freely and conveniently.

2. Will you consider giving a skin to Tianhai's ult?

We love the big guy! We're currently ideating on the design and what kind of skins would look good on his ult, so let us know in the comments if you have any ideas, we'd love to hear!

3. Is it possible to add execution animations?

As seen in the trailers, we experimented with execution animations, but in multiplayer games, the long animation doesn’t perform well and inconveniences players. We'll try to incorporate the execution in a more appropriate way later on.

4. Will player’s health in duo mode be adjusted?

There will be slight adjustments, like the Tianhai ult.

5. It is strongly... Read more
