Spring Festival Begins in Naraka: Bladepoint, With New Hero, Lannie, and Next Collaboration Announcement

Naraka: Bladepoint has opened The Spring Festival, and the update adds a new hero, events, some themed cosmetics, and a look ahead at the next collaboration.

Lannie is the brand new hero,  and she has a cursed fate that led to the deaths of her parents and other loved ones. She was rescued and has determined to change her fate, looking now to claim the Mask of Immortality. Her kit is inspired by Chinese acrobatics, so expect fluid and dazzling moton while she’s knocking you back (and up) and using special cloth to vanish and taking advantage of her stealth and speed. 

The Spring Festival celebrations are on, offering login rewards daly. You can also play to collect red envelopes and win in-game items to celebrate. The Special Wishing event invites all to Fairyland Penglai to wish before the God of Wealth. Make a wish and you'll earn some rare in-game items. There are other Spring Festival themed events and features to enjoy too.

There are some new themed cosmetics, including a Spring Festival Treasure Box. The box introduces a new series of Star-Collections, with Zai’s Extreme Outfit, and Legendary Skin of Bow included. Lannie also gets a new Extreme Outfit. These new cosmetics feature Chinese New Year elements that work with the festive themes overall.

One thing 24 Entertainment and NetEase have been working on with Naraka: Bladepoint has been a number of collaborations. Collaborations will continue this year. In a press release, they promise “Get ready for a year packed with crossover madness!”. First up is a new round featuring The King of Fighters. Expect several new themed costumes and skill effects for Kurumi, Viper Ning, Matari, and Akos Hu, who will represent Athena, Shermie, Mai Shiranui, and Iori Yagami.
