Naraka: Bladepoint

A Fast, Unpredictable New Fighter

Ye Xiu’s skill set has been carefully designed to reflect the tactical approach of his original character, making him far more than a simple cosmetic reskin. His combat mechanics are built around rapid movement, counterattacks, and flexible combo chains, while offering both powerful area-of-effect damage and impressive single-target burst.

This makes him one of the few truly well-rounded heroes in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, delivering exceptional versatility with virtually no weaknesses.

Ye Xiu Gameplay:

NARAKA’s First Transforming Weapon

The Kaleidoscope Parasol is the first weapon in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT that can freely cycle between multiple forms during combat.

Players can switch between Parasol, Shield, and Axe forms to adapt to different battlefield situations, moving between flexible attacks, defensive options, and powerful close-range strikes.

A Five-Year Legacy of "Unfettered" Spirit

The inclusion of Ye Xiu marks a thematic milestone for Naraka: Bladepoint. Much like Ye Xiu’s journey in the iconic anime series, The King’s Avatar, starting from zero to reclaim glory, for half a decade, 24 Entertainment has worked to demonstrate that Chinese martial arts hold a legitimate place within the competitive gaming landscape. This update serves as a tribute to that shared spirit of persistence and the pursuit of glory.

Log in to NARAKA: BLADEPOINT on July 30 to claim Ye Xiu for free and unleash his fast, fluid combat with the transforming Kaleidoscope Parasol.

**New Hero and Extraction Map Join the Anniversary Update **

The anniversary update will also introduce Ye Xiu, a new hero built for fast movement, counterattacks, and direct confrontation. His signature weapon, the Kaleidoscope Parasol, will debut as the game’s first multi-form transforming weapon, allowing players to switch flexibly between offense and defense.

In addition, the new extraction-style map Stormchant, set against the backdrop of the founding emperor of China's Han Dynasty, will take players into dangerous underground caverns, where they will face the ancient White Snake boss in Baidi Palace and attempt to rescue an emperor from peril.

With its first amphibious map, new underwater combat, a new hero, anniversary rewards, and an exciting future roadmap, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is celebrating its fifth anniversary by opening a bold new chapter for players around the world. Enjoy the game!

S20 New Hero: The Astrologist, Tara Gan
