Naraka: Bladepoint Going Free To Play On July 13
/
The battle royale melee-focused online game Naraka: Bladepoint is going free-to-play alongside its official PS5 release on July 13.
With it going free-to-play, the game will incorporate a new currency called Hero Coins, which will be used to purchase new heroes for the game. Don’t worry about your previous items and rewards as well as all accounts will remain intact when they transition to the free-to-play model.
For those that owned the game previously, players will receive 1,960 Gold if they own the standard version of the game, 3,360 Gold for the Deluxe Edition, and 4,960 Gold for the Ultimate Edition. On top of this, all owners will receive an exclusive Avatar, another exclusive Viper Ning outfit, and 10 Glory Chest Choice Gifts. If you want any of these bonuses before the game goes free-to-play, you can still purchase the game and its many editions.
Based on the FAQ, there’s some limitations compared to free players and those that own the game. For instance, free players will only have access to Ranked play once they reach level 50, while those who own the game will have access to it by level 20. Lobby chat will be available at level 20 for free players, while those who own the game will have access to it by level 5.
Free players will all start with Heroes Viper, Tianhai, Zipin Yin, and Matari.
Nakara: Bladepoint coming to PS5
Naraka:Bladepoint is also launching on the PS5 alongside its free-to-play shift. PS5 players that download and play the game will be greeted with unique rewards such as a Katana skin, a Ryuzan·Frost Reflection, and 2 Immortal Treasures. You get even more rewards for being a PlayStation Plus member as you will also receive 5 more Immortal Treasures and exclusive headgear, and more.
Naraka: Bladepoint first launched on PC through Steam and Epic Games Store on August 11, 2021. It was soon released on Xbox Series X|S on June 23 and eventually on Xbox One on December 22, 2022.
It was not announced that the battle royale game will come on the PlayStation 4.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
