1. What’s the plan for NARAKA Esport in 2022

In summary, our Esport plan includes 3 parts:
Scrims, regional tournaments, and the World championship.
The purpose of running official scrims regularly is to provide more chances for players and teams to practice for competitive tournaments. The scrims play under the same rules as the World Championship. So if you've got the confidence, and wish to go further in the World Championship, we'd suggest you play more scrims!
Regional tournaments like the Morus Cup, Shadowjades Cup, or Celestra Cup will also return this summer.
And most importantly, the World Championship will be held at the end of 2022. We will disclose more information about the tournament in the near, including the prize pool, where it will be held, and how to earn your ticket to it.

We are also working with the local communities to run more community tournaments. Be sure you are following our official Twitter & Facebook to get updated... Read more

Community FAQ 4/3/2022

Addressing the Queue times, cheaters, and game performance. We have heard the community feedback and we are working to optimize your #NARAKABLADEPOINT experience. Read on to find out more:

1. Long queue time 
We have been aware of the ongoing issue from the data, community discussions, and live streams, that queue times have been long. 

Starting the 3/11 update, we will be applying a new queuing mechanic with the aim to shorten the queue time as a temporary solution, as we head back to the drawing board and find a more optimal solution.

The community has given us many suggestions, and we are actively looking into the feedback to find the best solution for all players of NARAKA: Bladepoint. We will be discussing with our Community managers and NARAKA Partners for more informed feedback and work towards optimizing the player experience by improving the queue times, combatting cheaters, and creating new content to keep your ex...

NARAKA FAQ – 1/5



A new year, and a new FAQ to start it off fresh!



Is NARAKA coming to console this month?



Unfortunately, we are not yet prepared to make a debut on consoles. However, we’ve made huge progress on console versions, but still need more time on development. When we have a concrete date set we will be sure to announce it on all of our platforms!




Can gamemodes like the Shadow Surge or Eternal Blazes be added to the game permanently?
With the success of the Festive Fellow and Path of Snow events, this is something we are taking into heavy consideration.



Is there anything new coming this year?
Of course, A LOT. Several new heroes, new modes, new map, new weapons (something the players have been requesting for a long time ;) ).




What’s the schedule for Naraka: Bladepoint World Championship?
Here is everything you need to know going forward about ... Read more

Greetings Forerunners!

This week we have a short FAQ on some suggestions we gathered on character optimization for the future. Let's take a look at them:

1. Can you make something special for Valda Cui's eye patch design? For example, add some accessories just like Viper Ning’s.

A: Great idea, we will get right to it!



2. There aren't many hairstyles for Kurumi, and some of them are not particularly good-looking yet other female characters have many pretty hairstyles, can you give Kurumi some pretty hairstyles such as Pigtails?

A: We love Pigtails too and she will be getting them in the future!



3. Kurumi’s shoes are mostly wooden clogs, can she get shoes other than those?

A: We are working on a ton of new cosmetics for Kurumi and they are coming soon and we're super excited for you all to see them!


We also wanted to make a quick note for those of you who have experienced issues with purcha... Read more

Progress and purchase of the full game:
Q: Will my progress from the free weekend carry over if I purchase the full game?

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!
The time for the liv... 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

1. When are DUOs coming to the game?

In the next update. Yes, you read that right: duos are coming. CONFIRMED.
Duo mode will be added to the quick match first. Afterward, the team will adjust and work on the gameplay based on data and feedback and make a decision whether to add duo mode to ranked.

We will be sharing more updates on DUOs in the coming weeks.

2. Are more ancient Chinese-inspired weapons going to be added to the game in the future?

Yes, definitely! There may be something coming shortly, but we cannot share any further details just yet!

3. Any news on the issues with the drops on Twitch?

Thanks to the dedication and help of our Discord Team, we are looking into this issue currently, but we cannot give an ETA. We will keep our players informed when we have any updates on this.

The sign-up period for the Shadowjade Cup has been extended until Novemb... Read more

• What is NBWC (NARAKA: BLADEPOINT World Championship)
NBWC is a global championship created by 24 Entertainment. Under this brand-new competition system, Naraka masters and teams from all over the world will gather together to compete for Immortal Glory.
You may already know that there are several NARAKA competitions in progress in some regions, such as the Morus Cup in North America and the Celestra Cup in Southeast Asia. NBWC can be regarded as the highest hall of honor beyond these regional events. Players will participate in their respective regional competitions first, climb their way to the top, and earn their spots in the NBWC.

Entering NBWC means that you will be invited to join the LAN event with players from other regions. If you are participating, players must prepare for vaccinations, Visas, and international travel. We are ready to provide participants with an amazing event experience under the premise of ensuring everyone's safety.

1. The game has become laggy after the update and optimization seems to be worse

Our background data shows that the performance has improved after each optimization. However, we've received feedback from many players suggesting that the optimization seems to be worse after the update. We will use a megathread to collect specific issues from players after the next update to further analyze what went wrong.

Our goal is to continuously optimize the game for all users to enjoy the best experience when playing. You can also check out our patch note, which will mention some of the optimizations and bug fixes we have done.


2. Ping lock and queue time issues

We have been working on this issue and would like to keep up with the community on our progress. We've been doing some gray testing and trying to balance between preventing players from encountering unstable players on the network, and longer match queue times.

There are many different... Read more

Dear players:

The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from10/27/2021 23:00 (UTC) to10/28/2021 03:00(UTC). We suggest that you log out in advance and enter the game again after the maintenance.

The details for this update are as follows:

Heroes
I. Valda Cui
1. Ultimate [Nether Nightmare: Bind]: Initiating a horizontal strike after using this ultimate no longer breaks enemies free from Bind. The hit rate of Valda's horizontal strikes has been improved, and she now has a new vertical strike in which she hurls forth a water spear: it travels slowly with a comparably low hit rate, yet deals high damage.
//Comments from Dev Team: These changes were implemented given that [Nether Nightmare: Bind] was originally only meant to bind multiple enemies, but wasn't working as well as intended. Tips: Vertical strikes have a very low hit rate when used alone. Try linking them in with horizontal strikes as part of a combo!

1. We wish that Bloodsport can have a ranked system, a 3v3 option, more rewards, and maybe add spectators.

First of all, we are thrilled to see that everyone likes this new mode, especially the devs responsible for designing Bloodsport! They really appreciate your love and enthusiasm.
As of now, there is no plan for it to have a ranked system. However, this mode has a hidden MMRs system that will match opponents around your skill level. We are already discussing all the feedback and making considerations about how we can further improve players’ experience. We will continue working hard to optimize this mode in the future.
Meanwhile, we are also designing a new team-based mode that will provide players with refreshing combat experience.

2. Lag spike at the beginning of the game
Most likely, it is because your computer is reading map data. NARAKA's map is huge, so it takes some time to read and process it. As you may know, we have already carried out a wa... Read more
