Naraka: Bladepoint is running a closed beta next month, and we'll have keys
We caught our first glimpse of Naraka: Bladepoint at the Game Awards late last year, and now it's gearing up for a closed beta. 24 Entertainment has announced that it will run its closed beta for Naraka: Bladepoint November 3-9, and we'll have a few keys to hand out next week.
Naraka: Bladepoint is a battle royale game based on surgical melee combat and high-flying grappling hook acrobatics. 24 Entertainment says its Morus Island is designed with vertical movement in mind, and you'll be able to grapple your way to just about anything - or anyone - you can lay eyes on.
Unlike the grappling hook found in Sekiro, Naraka: Bladepoint's grapplers can hook onto anything, so you can pull yourself through cover toward an enemy, pouncing on them from an unseen vantage point, or use it as a ripcord to escape an encounter that hasn't gone in your favour. There's plenty to see on Morus Island, too - a massive shipwreck, abandoned mines, a giant Buddha statue - and all of it can be traversed using your hook and climbing abilities.
