Naraka: Bladepoint is a free multiplayer action game that offers close-range action set on the mysterious Eastern region called Morus.

Naraka: Bladepoint is a 60-player unchained multiplayer combat title that features a boundless movement system that allows players to climb, hang, and even parkour.

With an aim-at-whatever-you-want grappling hook and a sophisticated yet beginner-friendly combat system involving accessible block & parry mechanics, Naraka: Bladepoint is designed to provide a brand-new experience of melee combat and world exploration.

Integrating Eastern aesthetics and philosophy, Naraka: Bladepoint presents a forsaken realm of splendid landscapes as well as inexplicable enigmas.

24 Entertainment is proud to announce that Naraka: Bladepoint will hold its first major competitive tournament, ‘Naraka: Bladepoint World Championship’ (NBWC), where players will test their might and showcase their skills on Morus Isle. After the glory of their regional victories, trios that represent the very best of Naraka’s global talent will face off. Ultimately only one team can emerge victorious and be crowned Naraka: Bladepoint World Champions. The winners will be bestowed with ‘The Ancient Cup’ and a grand total prize of $1.5 million USD.

The championship will be livestreamed between Thursday 13th to Sunday 16th January, 4PM (GMT+8), every day on the official Naraka: Bladepoint on its Twitch Channel, and on Facebook.

The World Championship will be streamed in ENG language via Twitch. Vietnamese audiences will be able to tune in via Facebook and NimoTV.

Livestream viewers on Twitch, Facebook and NimoTV are eligible to win exclusive in-game Naraka: Bladepoint World Championship items.

The qualifiers will consist of teams from all across the globe, ranging from North America, Europe, South East Asia and Asia. Amongst those competing for glory are four pro teams, consisting of Nigma, Alliance, NOCT & LDLC OL. There will also be another twelve teams from mainland China.
