What Is Naraka: Bladepoint?

The other two editions of Naraka: Bladepoint are priced as follows: $34.99 for Deluxe and $49.99 for the Ultimate Edition. It does not have a subscription, so you just need to purchase it once, at which point you'll be able to play as much as you want.

Naraka: Bladepoint's Release Date

According to the Naraka: Bladepoint developer, 24 Entertainment and publisher NetEase, the highly-anticipated game is scheduled for release on August 12th.

There has been no announcement of a specific time, but we will keep you updated on further developments.

What to Expect from Naraka: Bladepoint

The game has been compared to Fortnite and Warzone, but instead of collecting guns and ammo, you pick out from a list of martial arts experts and go into battle armed with swords, skills, archery--the works.

Also the map, Morus Island, is designed with vertical movement, so you can mount the scenery with grappling hooks or artfully jump and sprint past rooftops to bolt or sneak up on an opponent.

If you're huge on character customization, this game is perfect for you. Naraka: Bladepoint offers intense detailing for each of your characters' looks. Now, there's no need to settle for a generic looking hero.

Changing a character’s body shape is not possible but everything else, you can tweak. You're allowed to import other people's appearance files but here's the best part, you can also upload a photo of your own face.
