Q&A Callout - Dev's Answers

First, thank you all for your enthusiastic participation in this event! We received thousands of feedback entries and suggestions from across the community. While we may not be able to respond to each one individually, please rest assured that every single piece of feedback is carefully reviewed and evaluated.

Without further ado, let's dive in!

 

·Frostiink: When are we getting another Hadi's outfit?

NARAKA has release several new outfits for Hadi in recent updates, including Bandage King, Under the Knight (Zhanshen), and Tarot Whispers·Bear. We hope one of these has caught your eye!

Wanting more great-looking outfit for a favorite hero is one of the most common requests we receive. With such a large roster of heroes, balancing outfit releases can be challenging. When planning outfits, we usually starts with a central theme, then determine which hero best fits that concept. Teams across visuals, narrative, and hero design all collaborate closely throughout the process.

With that, we are also exploring ways to involve the community more directly in the way we develop ideas, including working on ways to make it happen and co-create with the community. 

 

·Viggo Tarasov: I heard that Naraka is about to launch officially in Vietnam. I need to know if this is true. If the game launches a server in Vietnam, will Steam players be able to switch servers?

Yes, this information is correct. We are preparing to collaborate with VNGGames in order to bring NARAKA: BLADEPOINT to more players in Vietnam. For full details, please refer to the official announcement:

https://www.narakathegame.com/news/official/20251214/32172_1276211.html

Just a heads-up, the transfer between Steam and VNG are limited by the platform. We appreciate your understanding. However, both versions share the Southeast Asia server region, enabling cross-version friend invites and matchmaking.

Players who registered before the delisting will experience no disruption. While the game will be delisted (meaning new Vietnamese players cannot find it), it will remain in your Steam/Epic Library. You can continue updating, logging in, and playing normally. Your game version will stay synchronized with global updates, and you will retain full access to all in-game events.

 

·лесо4ка: Will solo mode in rift traversal have better loot and the ability to gain rank?

Thanks for this question! This gives us a good opportunity to share more details about Rift Traversal's future.

In 2026, we will continue expanding and refining Rift Traversal. Recent drop rate adjustments and the introduction of Solo Mode are just the first steps. Our long-term goal is to make looting feel rewarding, combat engaging, and escape smooth and accessible.

We also have major content updates planned. At Naraka Fest, we announced the new chapter [𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐝]. Along with it comes new gameplay, it allows players to switch between PVE and PVP gameplay modes, while also enjoying a more immersive story to experience. We plan to continue releasing a few chapters throughout 2026.

And last but not least, [𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐝] will go live on January 21 PT. We will closely monitor feedback and encourage everyone to give it a try.

 

·Maxx_J: Are there any 2026 plans for any new maps/environments for the Herald's Trial gamemode? if so, how many new maps are planned? a new environment could really breathe some new life into the game.

Yes, absolutely. First, we are introducing a new Shuffle Map revealed at Naraka Fest called The Maelstrom:

This map dynamically reconstructs itself using elements from three previous maps, ensuring that every match feels fresh and unpredictable. We have also added brand new mechanics, including Chaos Sea and Omni Realms. As many players have already guessed, this map will also allow players to obtain brand new Extreme Weapons.

All of this content will arrive with the Season update on December 29 PT, which means you will be able to experience it TOMORROW!

In addition, a brand new map for The Herald's Trial is planned for release in the summer, so please stay tuned. 

 

·Khi nào có người yêu thì đổi tên: Is the anti-cheat system really working properly? Can it be upgraded to be faster and more effective in future updates? Because I think it's still not very stable, and cheating is still rampant.

Anti-cheat has always been one of our highest priorities, and we will continue improving it. In addition to our always-on detection systems, we also have a dedicated 24-hour anti-cheat team that conducts secondary reviews of suspicious cases.

Beyond conventional cheats, we are actively targeting more complex threats such as DMA cheats. To provide more transparency, we have shared anti-cheat data from the past year for reference.

Maintaining a fair environment requires close cooperation between the development team and the community. To support this, we will be introducing a Replay System, giving players another powerful tool to help us combat cheating together.

 

·DuckNaes: Will the devs bring back old outfit?

We've received many requests about bringing back past outfits. For certain items that were previously removed from the store, we do bring them back periodically, often through limited-time events.

For example, during the ongoing Naraka Fest event, players can obtain five Legendary Cosmetics for free, including several well-loved Accessories.

 

·xXAaGokuXx: Takeda rework when?

Takeda adjustments are currently under careful evaluation. Hero reworks are complex and require balancing feedback from both casual and professional players, which can differ significantly. At the same time, we aim to introduce a clear role in the meta while preserving the hero's core identity.

We completed Tarka Ji’s rework earlier this year and gained valuable experience from that process, which will help guide future hero adjustments.

 

·WangLin: Is there any chance you could add something like a “potato graphics mode,” or work on optimizations to reduce the load on the CPU?

That's a great suggestion! Potato graphics mode has officially been added to our list.

Putting jokes aside, optimization remains a long-term focus for us. We recently released a new patch, and many players should already notice performance improvements after logging in.

At Naraka Fest, we also shared updates on optimization progress. The current median frame rate across all hardware specs is 116 FPS, representing a 12 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Performance gains are even more noticeable on mid to low end systems, which have seen improvements of up to 22 percent. Targeted optimizations have also helped narrow the gap between high and low FPS experiences.

 

·Ghosteyes: Could we have an “Ask Anything” session once every season, where global players can directly connect with the developers? It would be great to have an open space for communication where players can ask questions, share feedback, and better understand the direction of the game, while the devs can also hear global community concerns firsthand. The feedback is not it. So please

This is a fantastic idea, and we're excited to make it happen! Starting from Season 19, we’ll be hosting a seasonal "Ask Anything" session where we gather questions from players and address some of them in a dedicated Q&A after each new season update. We also encourage everyone to use this section for discussions and share detailed feedback on update content, including how you feel about the new content and your thoughts on the reasons behind Naraka’s update adjustments to the game.
