The Naraka Fest live stream has just concluded. For those who missed the stream, or just want a recap on everything that was shown off—we’ve created this Naraka Fest stream recap so you can find all of our announcements in one place!
New Weapon + Gameplay Details
Introducing Dual Halberds the congeneric weapon of the Dual Blades. These blades are as sharp as they are intricate. A spear-sword hybrid, they allow for quick and punishing combos where their horizontal Focus attack can actually launch enemies airborne. This combined with their dashing uppercut can put pressure on your opponent and are sure to help you turn the tide in your matches.
You can actually try them this Saturday, July 8 on the NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Test Server!
NARAKA: BLADEPOINT New Hero - Tessa
Tessa is the newest hero to join us in Season 9. She will be available to play on August 9. As a descendant of the Tushan, she has a kinship with the kitsune. Able to fuse with them, her vulpine form exhibits both beauty and danger. Playful, fun, and chaotic, you never know when she smiles if it marks her own happiness or your imminent demise (maybe both)!
