NARAKA: BLADEPOINT GLOBAL OPEN BETA ANNOUNCED AT THE FUTURE GAMES SHOW

Get ready to slash, smash and blast your opponents to claim victory in the NARAKA: BLADEPOINT open beta, starting April 23 and running through to April 25. After a very popular North American beta at the end of last year and a successful Asian beta, players from around the world finally have the chance to take up arms on Morus Island.

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is an exciting new take on the action royale genre: with player experience built around three core pillars of gameplay; speed, agility and close-quarters combat. To facilitate this, players use grappling hooks to traverse trees, buildings and all manner of temples and structures littered across Morus’ stunning environment. Coupled with some crazy parkour skills, players can quickly scale anything in sight, offering huge variations in strategy — not to mention tactical verticality — to each pulsating battle.

Ranged weapons are scarce in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, with limited ammunition and quickly moving targets, fighters will almost always stand face-to-face to determine the victor. Playable characters all have special skills, like shooting fire balls, heals and knockdowns and an ultimate ability that can turn the tide of battle, if used skillfully.

The easy to learn, hard to master combat system will make it easy for new players to jump in their first game and cut down the competition. Veterans of the genre will be able to appreciate the amount of depth the system offers to players. Parrying, dodging and counter-attacking are all tools that players can use to come out on top in every battle.

To sign up for the beta, head over to the NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Steam Page and click “Apply Now”. You’ll be automatically enrolled on the beta test. A few days before the beta kicks off, you’ll receive an email with pre-load instructions.

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be available for purchase in Summer.

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Will Be Globally Released in Summer 2021

Melee battle royale Naraka: Bladepoint launches a closed beta today

Naraka: Bladepoint is an upcoming battle royale game looking to mix verticality with fierce melee combat and grappling hooks "that can be aimed at anyone, anywhere...". Developed by 24 Entertainment, it's described a "next-generation battle royale game", and it's getting ever closer to launch - a North America closed beta launches today.

As announced in a dev post on the multiplayer game's Steam page, the Naraka: Bladepoint closed beta launches today (November 3), and runs through November 9. The server opening times for those with closed beta keys are as follows: 16:00 - 22:00 PT / 19:00 - 01:00 (next day) ET / 00:00 - 06:00 November 4 UTC/GMT. It's worth noting, as highlighted in a previous dev post, players with keys based outside of NA can still participate in the beta, but "your gameplay experience may differ from those in that region (i.e. you may suffer with some lag and high latency issues during the game)".

As for what the game will hold, Naraka: Bladepoint sees you take on the role of a warrior, armed with melee weapons - images show options like greatswords, katanas, daggers, and other similar tools - and a grappling hook to battle it out, using acrobatic skills to traverse its vertical environments.

#From the Dev Team - 1

Dear players,
Thanks for all your interest in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT. We’re now preparing to release our first closed beta on Steam!
You first saw NARAKA over at The Game Awards 2019. Since that day, we’ve continued working tirelessly despite the pressures of COVID-19 to come up with all kinds of wonderful ideas and concepts—some of which you’ll get to experience for yourself in the beta. As for the rest, there’s a great deal that we’re still developing and perfecting; and of course, some of which we’ve already cast aside. In any case, there’s one thing that we’re certain of: it’s about time you got hands-on with NARAKA!

The main goal of this beta is to collect player feedback.
In this closed-beta edition of the game players will get to experience a wealth of exciting content, an armory of different ranged and melee weapons, and numerous characters each with their own unique skills—not to mention the grappling hooks that everyone’s been talking about. There’s a whole world of other content just waiting to be discovered, too. We hope that each player will find something that piques their interest, and that you’ll provide us with detailed feedback and suggestions.

Feedback channels:
• The in-game survey.
Please fill out our survey with your honest opinion; we’ll be reading each and everyone to see what you think!
• Discord.
Everyone is welcome to join the feedback conversation in our Discord, where you can share your experience and suggestions with other players.

• Twitter.
You can always just shoot us a DM over on Twitter, too.

We’ll be keeping in close contact with our online community as release approaches. Come chat with us over on Discord!

Head over to the official site to sign up for beta access. Keys are given out daily on our Discord, too.

See you in the game!

Cheers,
NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Dev Team
