24 Entertainment is bringing a new Naraka Bladepoint character to the multiplayer game ahead of the newly-announced collaboration between Naraka Bladepoint and NieR. The news comes amid a flurry of announcements about what to expect from the popular game in the next few months, including a new weapon and an expansion to Naraka’s PvE mode.
The new character is Feria Shen, a master of mechs and weapons who summons robotic companions to trample foes underfoot. Feria Shen will join the roster on Dec. 22, 2022. If you’re looking for more ways to shake up your game, you can try out the new Pole Staff in February 2023, a heavy melee weapon inspired by Guan Yu, the Chinese god of war. The Pole Staff’s souljade can even summon Guan Yu’s trusty steed to help turn the tide of battle.
At some other, as-yet unspecified, point in the future, 24 Entertainment is working with Yoko Taro and Square Enix on a Naraka Bladepoint and NieR crossover featuring characters, items, weapons, and more inspired by NieR Automata and NieR Replicant. Expect more details in the coming months, but for now, check out the teaser trailer above.
In January, Showdown PvE mode gets a new chapter, which sees you and a group of others challenge Viper Ning’s fearsome mother at the Yushan Ruins.
