Overview of Naraka: Bladepoint
The Action-Adventure genre features 60 players to fight for claiming the last man to stand the title on its map Morus Island. It features co-op, multiplayer, and single-player modes. But the primary attraction of the game is its astonishing combat style. Stunning Eastern art-style fighting, parkour movements, and characters’ skills shaped the game differently than its other competitors with a “battle royale” tag.
Today, Naraka: Bladepoint has emerged as our next breakthrough on the international stage, which further boosts our global expansion asset by opening the door to the mainstream Western market. We will continue this positive trend by introducing more content from different cultures around the world and start to work on other formats of the game, including console games and mobile versions as we look to tap into these large market opportunities in China and abroad.
