Extensive In-Game Events & Rewards: All Heroes Unlocked and Treasures Galore

Beginning February 4th PT, a series of in-game reward events will be going live in Naraka: Bladepoint. After this update, every hero in the game will be unlocked and freely accessible to all players for 35 days.

Additionally, players can obtain two exclusive skins-Justina Gu's "Ink Dyed·Spring Ripples" and Dagger's "Sugarcoated Sweetheart"-by participating in daily login and regular activities. Throughout the entirety of the event, players will have the opportunity to earn a total of more than 50 Treasure Boxes. A special Spring Festival Treasure Pool will also be available, offering chances to acquire premium cosmetics including Zenda Wu's new Extreme Outfit, Dagger's Extreme Skin, and other exquisite appearances.

Two New Game Modes Update: Strategic Battles and Chaotic Fun
Two distinct new game modes will also be launched within Naraka: Bladepoint, offering players a fresh in-game experience. The first new mode, River Runs Red, features a unique dual-realm structure: the Outer World and the Inner World. Players can engage in PvE exploration and puzzle-solving within the Outer World, and seamlessly transition to the Inner World to participate in large-scale PvP battles. This innovative design delivers the thrills of both solitary exploration and multiplayer combat within a single, cohesive mode.

The entertainment mode - The Evolution focuses on a more chaotic and ability-powered spin on the battle royale formula. With more revival opportunities and lower stakes, this mode encourages players to engage in more diverse and entertaining gameplay. Players can adhere to the fundamentals with powerful strikes and bare-handed counters, or master skills instead of relying on ultimates, or even focus on defense, strengthening your dodge to weave unscathed throughout the fray.
