Dear players,
The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from Dec 3rd, 2025 23:00 (UTC) to Dec 4th, 2025 04:00 (UTC). We suggest you log out in advance and enter the game again after the maintenance.
The details for this update are as follows:
Brand New Content
I. Under the Night Crossover Event: Voidwhisper Hospital Gameplay Updates
1) The [Rift Portal] in Survival Mode (excluding Immortal War) and Rift Traversal Mode will open after a certain period following the start of the match. Once opened, players can interact with it to teleport to [Voidwhisper Hospital].
2) The [Rift Portal] now allows 3 teams to enter.
3) After the update, the restrictions related to players' weapons and movements when entering the [Voidwhisper Hospital] will be removed.
4) Exploration Goal 1: find the real Nyx
In Survival modes, spin the wheel to randomly obtain one of Nyx's divine powers and receive a random Combat Item Tome:
Starshine Dancer: Dash in the aimed direction and recover some Armor. Can be used under attack.
Dark Corruption: Generates a sphere that [Silences] enemies inside.
Fallen Stars: Call down a meteor shower around yourself, inflicting damage to enemies.
In Rift Traversal, you will instead receive a Relic and unlock a Rift Gate (exclusively available for escape to the team who have awakened the real Nyx).
2) Exploration Goal 2: Awakening Nyx will unlock the sealed hospital backyard on the 1st floor for further exploration.
There you will find a figure resembling Lin Qiye.
Defeat Lin Qiye for rewards:
In Survival modes: Extreme Heng Sword Skin [Under the Night·Pale Demise]
Rift Traversal: Relic rewards
6) When the countdown ends, [Voidwhisper Hospital] will be filled with toxic fog. Players can exit [Voidwhisper Hospital] through the [Rift Portals] located within the hospital.
7) When defeated in the Voidwhisper Hospital, you will only drop Nyx's Tome and the Extreme Heng Sword Skin. All other gears will be retained and you will respawn outside the hospital.
8) In the matches of Survival modes (except for Immortal War) and Rift Traversal, Chaos Gateway will appear. Defeat the enemies escaped from the Chaos Gateway to obtain rewards.
II. Showdown: Brand New Content
1. New Hero Joined: Zai

Both Main Attributes and Sub Attributes of Souljades in Mastery Slots take effect.

(1) During the event, you can select this level on the Showdown Map. Complete all Event Quests to get an exclusive Hero Badge, Breakthrough Aura, Exhilarating Elixir and other rewards.
2) Sense Level in [Demonbane Realm] will not impact damage dealt or received, and the event levels are split into two chapters: Boundless Cinders and Omnius Calamities. A new rating system has been added, along with many combat items and interactive mechanisms.
Rating System: Team rating is determined by the performance of all players. While basic actions like damage dealing contribute to the team's score, advanced techniques like Counter and Defuse are essential for achieving higher ratings. There are 5 tiers of ratings: C, B, A, S, and SS. Rating decreases over time.
Navigation: After defeating an Omnius, airstreams appear to transport you to the next battlefield. If you fall from an airstream, use a Rising Wind mechanism to take off again, or use a Summon Stone mechanism to teleport to the battlefield.
Interaction: Hit Icebell Orchids to extinguish Hellhole, Fire Lychees to melt Frozen Earth, and Pomegrenades to damage enemies.
(3) Event stages have their own Souljade drops, suitable for farming specific Souljades. Both chapters share the same drops, including:
[Defuse·Frostbind], [Defuse·Thunder Charge], [Defuse·Poison Charge], [Ice-Edge Seal], [Frost Quake], [Thunderbind Spell], [Phantom Charge], [Mushroom Summoning], [Miasma Boon], [Raging Fire], [Defuse·Flaming Blade], [Skyfire], [Fistblades·Sky Slash], [Heng Sword·Rent Firmament], [Dual Halberds·Whirling Slash], [Whipsword·Blazing Cyclone]
(4) Each chapter has two difficulty stages that consume different amounts of Fatigue, but all stages share the same Souljade drop rates. Choose difficulty based on your capabilities.
(5) Chapter 1 stages are available immediately upon event start, while Chapter 2 stages unlock at 20:00 on Dec. 10, 2025 (UTC). Chapter 1 stages will close when Chapter 2 opens (you don't have to play any specific chapter to complete Event Quests).
