  New Project: Martial Infinity For this new project, the development team met with martial art schools and associations across all of China to shape the future gameplay of Naraka: Bladepoint. Not only did professional martial artists assist with motion capture and creative design, but the team also sent developers, content creators and professional players to a Shaolin Temple to experience the fundamentals of martial arts culture, including 5:00 am morning practice of course!

  The result is a gorgeous set of hero and weapon cosmetics, inspired by the clans visited during this project, as well as Naraka’s previous Bruce Lee Collaboration, featuring Tai Chi, Shaolin, Wing Chun, Xingyiquan, and Bajiquan elements. This set will also include five brand-new ink wash Souljades, blending elements of the five schools’ classic weapons with their most iconic moves.

Dedicated to fighting crime, she is a fierce keeper of order and wields a Vortex Shield that can transform to provide both offense and defense.
  New Weapon: Heng Sword The next weapon coming to Naraka: Bladepoint will be the deadly Heng Sword!
