A handful of new Naraka: Bladepoint characters have seemingly been revealed, pointing to potential new fighting styles you'll be able to use in the sword-swinging melee battle royale. s on the Naraka: Bladepoint subreddit posted a number of images from the game's official digital art book, which only came with the ultimate edition, giving a glimpse at concept art that shows off characters we've yet to see in-game.
Check out the gallery below.
First up is a samurai guy, which is pretty par for the course as far as Naraka's eastern influences go. Next up is a young-looking Taoist warrior. He's brandishing what appears to be a slim wooden instrument. Third is what looks like an imperial guard or knight. Some Reddit s are noting it may be inspired by the JinYiWei, the imperial police that served Ming dynasty emperors.
Fourth, we've got a raven-haired woman with an eyepatch and a more traditional-looking samurai sword. There's likely some classic wuxia influences here. Fifth, we have a woman who seems ready for a funeral. I imagine it's yours, considering her sword is on fire.
For now, there's no official word on when — if ever — these characters will arrive in Naraka: Bladepoint. It's entirely possible these characters may simply be art references for universe-building.
