24 Entertainment and NetEase Games have announced that NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is launching on Game Pass and Xbox Series X|S. This will allow all members of the Game Pass subscription along with anyone who owns the Xbox Series X|S consoles, to enjoy this intense battle royale game. NARAKA: BLADEPOINT features a 60-player battle royale mode which will be later joined with a full single-player campaign as well.
Arriving first is the Unchained Multiplayer Combat mode, a 60-player battle royale mode that is a combination of melee action and unparalleled movement through parkour. To celebrate the Xbox console launch, players will get access to a brand new weapon called The Dual Blades as well which is the first dual-handed weapon in the game, and it allows players to deliver striking blows with a high attacking speed and unstoppable movement with multiple-hit combos in the game.

After the initial launch, NARAKA players will also be able to play the first chapter of the game’s first campaign mode. This brand-new mode will allow teams of up to three players to take on new enemies and bosses that will offer a brand-new challenge to the players. Here, they will quickly find that taking down one of these bosses will require some new strategies to what they are normally used to in PvP. Zhipeng Hu, Vice President of NetEase Games commented:
We share the same ambition with Microsoft to bring an appealing and exciting new gaming experience to wider communities. It’s a milestone step for us to bring this melee battle gameplay with oriental aesthetics and philosophies to a new audience in Western markets, together with Microsoft, one of NetEase’s long-standing partners.
NARAKA: BLADEPOINT was launched back in August 2021 and since its launch, the game has received tons of quality and content updates. New heroes, new game modes, and a lot of other content have been added to the title since its launch to keep the game fresh for players and also bring new players to the title. The game has since sold over 10 million copies which is a huge milestone for the developer and the publisher. The developer is offering a free in-game gift to celebrate this milestone as well.
NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will release on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass on June 23, 2022, and it is currently available on PC via Steam. The single-player campaign will arrive later in August for both console and PC players.
