NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Test Server Update – July 24th, 2026

Heroes,

First of all, thank you for your continued support of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT. You have been granted access to our Beta Server.

The following changes apply only to this test period and do not represent final adjustments.

New Content

I. New Hero: Ye Xiu

He has stood at the summit and walked through the valley. Ten years of passion, and his devotion has never wavered.

He is the Battle God who forged a three-championship dynasty — and the captain who rebuilt from nothing after one snowy night.

Thirty-seven consecutive wins. Four MVP titles. After leaving Excellent Era (嘉世), he started over at Happy (兴欣) with Lord Grim (君莫笑) at his side — and climbed back to the very top.

Perhaps true glory was never found only at the summit, but in a passion that never burns out.

II. New Weapon: Kaleidoscope Parasol

Legend tells of a master artisan of Moonwheel (月轮, literal translation), skilled in clockwork mechanisms, who saw how heavy and unwieldy ordinary arms were to carry. So he took the form of an umbrella, built it upon a frame of hidden mechanisms, and concealed a hundred blades within a single canopy.

The Kaleidoscope Parasol (千机伞) shifts endlessly between open and closed, trading offense for defense in an instant — unfurled, it strikes like a sudden squall of scattering petals; folded, it withdraws like a dragon gliding back into its sleeve.

III. New Showdown Mode: Infinite Trials

On the road of Showdown, the heroes have fallen into the Infinite Trials (无量境, unofficial) laid out by Omni. As they break through layer upon layer of illusions, they gradually master the power to resist the Omens. Infinite Trials demands strategies to counter all kinds of extreme Omens — keep challenging harder Omen combinations to earn a higher clear score.

1. Custom Omens & Clear Score

  • Defeat monsters in Infinite Trials to earn score; the amount depends on the monster type.
  • During the Preparation stage, you can customize which Omens are active for the run. Each Omen also grants a score multiplier, and multipliers from different Omens stack multiplicatively.
  • A new Season Challenge quest group, "Infinite Trials," has been added; complete it to unlock more selectable Omens.

2. Challenge Rules

  • Infinite Trials offers Solo and Trios modes, each consisting of three stages: Celestra, Shadowjade Mine, and Shipwreck Expanse. Your final score is the sum of all three stages.
  • Across the three stages of a same-size mode, reusing a Hero, Souljade, or Curio (Souljades or Curios with the same name but different individual copies do not count as repeats) incurs a score deduction each time. Please try to deploy a different loadout for each stage.
  • Trios does not support Fill Party — form a party in advance before entering the Challenge.

3. Rewards

  • Based on your All-Time Best combined score across the three stages in Solo or Trios, you can unlock deluxe Showdown-exclusive rewards, including a Profile Background and Aura Effect.
  • The Infinite Trials Leaderboard is ranked weekly by combined Solo and Trios score and time of entry. Players placing in the Top 500, Top 100, and Top 10 will receive limited-time Title rewards.

  3. Tomb-Seeking by Night (照夜寻陵, literal translation) quest optimization: To further improve access to the Nightglow Pearl, this Stronghold has been changed so that the Terracotta Warrior now appears automatically 8 minutes into the match, and the Party that deals the most damage to it gains priority to open the crate.
