Dear players,
The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from July 29th, 2026 23:00 (UTC) to July 30th, 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. New Hero: Ye Xiu
He has stood at the peak and weathered the lows. Ten years of passion, unchanged at heart.
The master who forged a three-peat legend. The captain who rebuilt from nothing after a snowy night.
Thirty-seven straight wins. Four-time MVP. After leaving Excellent Era, he started over with Lord Grim at Team Demeter and climbed to the top once more.
Perhaps true glory was never about standing at the summit. It lives in the love that never fades.
II. New Weapon: Kaleidoscope Parasol
Legend speaks of a cunning artisan from Lunazra who, vexed by the weight of carrying many weapons, shaped this parasol — its ribs woven of fine machinery, its core housing a hundredfold of blades.
Open, it scatters like sudden rain and whirling petals. Closed, it returns to the wrist like a dragon curling back to its lair. There is no fixed state, only the seamless turn of strike and ward.
III. Showdown New Gameplay: The Boundless
On the path of Showdown, the heroes have fallen into "The Boundless," a trap laid by Omnius. As they break through layer after layer of illusions, they gradually gain the power to stand against the Omens.
1. Customized Omens and Scoring Rules
· Defeating monsters in The Boundless rewards different amounts of score based on monster type.
· During the preparation phase, you can customize the Omens activated for the match. Each Omen provides a score multiplier bonus—higher-quality Omens grant higher bonuses, and bonuses from different Omens are multiplicative.
· The Boundless quests have been added to Season Challenges, completing which unlocks more new Omens.
2. Challenge Rules
· The Boundless is divided into two modes—Solo and Trios. Each mode contains three stages: Celestra, Shadowjade Mine, and Shipwreck Expanse. Your final score is the sum of your scores across all three stages.
· Across the three stages of a mode with the same player count, reusing a Hero, Souljade, or Curio will incur a score deduction penalty each time (Souljades or Curios that share a name but are separate instances are not counted as repeats). Please try to bring different loadouts into battle.
· Trios mode does not automatically fill the party, so please pre-make a team before starting the challenge.
3. Gameplay Rewards
· Based on your all-time highest total score across the three stages in Solo or Trios mode, you can unlock deluxe rewards such as an exclusive Showdown Profile Background and Aura Effects.
· Each week, The Boundless leaderboard will also rank players based on their total Solo and Trios scores and the time they reached the leaderboard, granting limited-time Title rewards to players ranked in the Top 500, Top 100, and Top 10.

II. Preview of Upcoming Content
Since the release of "The Boundless," many Showdown players have been keeping an eye on the development progress of another game mode (codename: Chaos Outbreak) and content related to the new season. We have therefore decided to share part of our upcoming update plans with you ahead of time.
1. The brand-new mode "Formless Calamity" (former codename: Chaos Outbreak) will go live in a future version.
This time, the heroes of the Showdown will arrive at Lin'an City. As Chaos gradually closes in, they will level up and randomly obtain various Souljades, items, moves, and more, facing all sorts of random, powerful enemies.
Meanwhile, in Formless Calamity, heroes cannot carry over their Sense level or Souljade progression. Instead, it features an independent progression system to help resist the Chaos.
2. Comprehensive Optimization of the Recast System in the New Season
① Aura Points guarantee: Every time you recast a Souljade's attributes and values, you accumulate "Aura Points." Once the progress bar is full, you can directly claim a Flux Shard!
(Recast can no longer randomly roll rare attributes, and the rare-attribute pity will also be removed. After Aura Points go live, your existing pity progress will be converted into Aura Points.)
② New item "Jade Essence": Use "Jade Essence" to imbue a chosen attribute for a one-time, substantial value boost, directly increasing the attribute by a fixed percentage of its maximum value.
· The attribute values of Souljades produced in dungeons will be fixed within a set range, so attributes at or near the maximum cap will no longer appear. There is also a certain chance to produce Jade Essence.
· When recasting with "Jade Essence," if an attribute value would exceed its cap, a corresponding amount of progression items will be refunded based on the excess as compensation.
//Dev Note: With this Recast rework, our goal is to improve everyone's progression experience: 1. Thanks to the new Aura Points mechanic, you no longer need to consider recast order, greatly reducing the learning and usage costs of recasting Souljades. 2. With the new "Jade Essence," we hope to solve the problem where players currently need to hoard many Souljades, causing management difficulties and insufficient storage space; you also won't need to check the attribute values of every settled Souljade after each match.
3. Comprehensive Optimization of Weekly Quests in the New Season
Starting in the new season, you no longer need to complete all weekly quests. Completing each quest grants Activity Points, and once you reach the required amount of Activity Points, you can claim all weekly rewards.
In addition, completing weekly quests earns progress toward a Legend Jade; accumulating four weeks' worth grants one Legend Jade.
