Dear players,

The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from Jul. 1, 2026 23:00 (UTC) to Jul. 2, 2026 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. Introducing an all-new map: Wanchu!

Wanchu drifts on the vast sea, Twin Luminaries light the past.

Five major areas

Twin Luminaries City: A lost civilization that worshipped twin deities. Statues of the twin monarchs still stand within the royal city, sheltering this empty city that fell in the previous calamity.

Valley of the Colossus: The resting place of the ancestral elders from the previous calamity. Massive broken stone statues and ancient beast bones lie half-buried in the wild grass, silent and enigmatic.

Immortal-Seekers' Ruins: The old traces of the expeditionary force lie scattered between the shores and cliffs of a foreign land. The alchemy furnace has gone cold, the sails never returned, and only an unfinished old dream of immortality.

Wave Fort: An ancient settlement nestled against the mountains and beside the water. Its houses, docks, and star platforms have long fallen into ruin, yet still preserve a silent, orderly rhythm of life.

Dark Pearl Abyss: Beneath the Abyssal Depths, shadowy blue palaces emerge and fade from view. Giant White Jade pillars stand in the center of the Undercurrent, and amid the shifting pearlescent glow, whispers seem to rise from the deep waters.

New mechanics:

1. Tide: Initial water level in Tidewater Channel varies by match weather. Each match has two tide cycles. At first shift, Tidehidden Cave's seal breaks — break the stone gate to enter and open high‑value Stashes. At second shift: high water spawns Tide Fish (attack for high‑value drops); low water spawns Spirit Clams (open for high‑value drops).

2. Conch Boat: On the 2nd Spirit Well refresh, the map prompt changes to a Conch Boat warning. After countdown, a Conch Boat appears in the warning zone. Board it and capture the Spirit Well for free rare items.

3. Oracle monarch

Ethereal Descent: Finish in the top 2 to fill progress. Once full, you can interact with [Ethereal Descent] during the match to obtain [Ancient Oracle·Ethereal Descent].

Primal Echo: Pick up [Conch Pearl] in a match to fill progress. Once full, you can interact with [Primal Echo] during the match to obtain [Ancient Oracle·Primal Echo].

Divine Grace Vault: If both [Ethereal Descent] and [Primal Echo] are activated in this match, the vault will open, containing the Oracle Monarchs' treasure – [Sea of Calamity].

4. Foundry: This map adds 6 brand-new Armor types, which can be crafted through the new "Foundry" tab at the Rift Dealer!

New Armor overview:

Soul-Devouring Armor: Can devour Armor of higher quality than itself, or special Armor effects, up to 3 effects

Habitat Armor: If not attacked for 3 seconds, restores 25 Armor per second.

Aquatic Armor: While underwater, oxygen is no longer consumed.

Rock-Steady Armor: Poison and Burn Damage are borne by Armor first, and you will not die from Poison or Burn Damage

Thick Hide Armor: Max Health +200

Sharp Bone Armor: Attack +8%

5. Unsinkable Cave: Deep within Dark Pearl Abyss lies a hidden cave. Defeat the guard and fight for the divine treasure that steadies the seas!

6. Remnants' Crate: A hidden crate in the main hall at the center of Valley of the Colossus. Only those who know its secret can open it.

7. Flame of Shoushan Spirit Well: Appears at Elder Plateau shortly after match start. Capturing it grants resources and a flame aura that burns enemies who enter its radius.

8. Sacred Ruins Blessing: A healing circle appears at Remnant Ruins early in the match. Reviving here restores recovery. Upon first near‑death, the Remains progress bar fills automatically until you revive.

New interactions:

1. Windstride Tether: Vines in Valley of the Colossus can be used with a grappling hook or interaction to slide, allowing special attacks.

2. Cache Hunt Map: Gold Stashes and Green Stashes have a chance to drop a Cache Hunt Map, revealing nearby treasure spots.

3. Gecko: A magical creature that changes color. Hitting it at different colors grants corresponding lasting effects.

4. Soul-Breath Coral: Stay close to continuously restore oxygen.

5. Iron Urchin: A curious item from Wanchu. Throw it quickly after picking it up, or it will explode and injure you.

6. Boiling Hot Spring: Players within its range can use the spring to quickly rush to the surface.

7. Pelican: Bring it some fresh small fish. Feeding them to the Pelican yields the treasure in its beak.

8. Ironback Turtle: Hitting the head deals damage; hitting the shell triggers a Clash. Two successful head hits reward you with its treasure.

9. Pufferfish: Hitting a Pufferfish underwater releases a large amount of poisonous gas.

10. Dive: Some platforms in deep-water areas can trigger the diving.

11. Water-Warding Fish: Appears in deep-water areas. Interact to be swallowed, restoring oxygen; upon being spat out, gain level-3 Momentum.

12. Golden Flame Coralline, Violet Coralline, Azure Wave Coralline, Stingtail Fish, Angelfish, Azure Finch Fish: Interact to collect into your Bag for crafting specific Armor at the Foundry.

III. Multi-Mode Matchmaking Function

1. Function Overview: The three major modes—The Survival Modes, Casual Modes, and Rift Traversal—all support multi-mode simultaneous matchmaking now.

2. Mode Breakdown:

(1) The Survival modes: In Ranked Mode, Quick Match, Immortal War, and BOT Mode at each difficulty, Solo/Duos/Trios can be simultaneously selected for matchmaking, but cross-submode Matchmaking is not supported.

(3) Rift Traversal mode: Under Tranquil Path, Perilous Path, and Doomed Path, multiple options can be selected for simultaneous matchmaking.

3. Timeout Matchmaking: After enabling "Multi-Select Mode," you can enable the "Match All on Timeout" function. This function allows modes not in the checked list to automatically join the queue after Matchmaking times out (this function becomes invalid after the "Multi-Select Mode" function is turned off).

II. Out-of-match Optimization

Battle Edict: Optimized the loadout plans for the Advanced Battle Edict.

//Dev Note: We've received player feedback that the Advanced Battle Edict previously included off-hand weapons, Spare Weapon, and Combat Items with relatively low practicality, and that the positioning of the loadout plans was not clear enough. In this update, we removed redundant equipment and redesigned the loadout content around three clear directions: strategy, survival, and damage output. This makes the style of each plan more distinct and helps players quickly choose the battle configuration that suits them best.
