Hello! My name is Yongcheng and I am the lead producer. Naraka: Bladepoint PS5 version. We’ve been working hard on what we believe to be the best version of Naraka: Bladepoint so far. And we’re really excited to finally bring our mythical melee-focused martial arts battle royale game to PlayStation 5.
Naraka: For those unfamiliar with Bladepoint, it’s the ultimate PVP action combat experience for up to 60 players, where players focus on mastering fast-paced melee action in turns. Participate in a unique battle royale experience that you won. to survive.
In the world of Naraka, it all begins with a never-ending war between two ancient gods, Sunwing and Moonbane. The immortal mask created as a result of their battle grants its bearer great power. The game focuses on the subsequent wars of mortals such as the Blind Swordsman of Yushan, the Viper Nin, the Great Priest of the Exodus, Tenkai, the Gray Wolf of the Plains, and Temurchi. There are currently 16 total playable heroes and the roster continues to grow. All of these heroes have powerful skills and are, to our knowledge, some of the best looking characters we’ve ever created. Not only can you kill your enemies with master skills, but you can also kill them in the coolest way.
We also created a vivid and multi-functional battlefield. There are ancient oriental structures that you can climb and wrestle with. Temples and cities, mines, waterfalls, wildflowers, butterflies, all these details in the environment work together to build a world that is literally immersive.
The core mechanic that makes Naraka so unique is the “rock-paper-scissors” combat system. Click L2/R2 to start normal attack. Holding L2/R2 will launch a concentrated attack that cannot be interrupted by normal attacks, dealing higher damage. Finally, we added a special gesture called Counter. This allows you to break focus attacks and send enemy weapons flying. However, counters are only knocked down by normal attacks. These three pillars complete Naraka’s “game theory” of combat. One of his clever techniques is to lure enemies into countering them and defeating them with normal attacks.
If you acquire even this system, you can call yourself a splendid swordsman. But you have a long way to go before you become a true master. Over the past two years, our community has developed so many beautiful combos, such as the “Katana Grapple Combo”, which combines a katana attack with a grapple attack.
Optimizes control of the PS5 DualSense controller, allowing users to achieve any combo. Installed aim pilots to help players use grapples better. Whether you’re aiming for an enemy’s body or the nearby ground, it’s easy to deal with. Another feature is the automatic turnaround feature often used in action games. We also focus on SSD optimization, so PS5 players can enjoy higher frame rates and loading speeds.
Honestly, the most exciting part is that you don’t have to wait too long to experience all this. The game is officially free-to-play, and he’s coming to PlayStation 5 in North America starting July 13th. We also wanted to reward our patient PlayStation fans with a warm welcome gift from the development team. PS5 owners will receive a Katana skin, Ryuzan/Frost Reflection, and two Immortal Treasures. If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, he’ll also bring you 5 treasures, cool exclusive headwear designed exclusively for PS Plus members, and even more goodies.
