Naraka: Bladepoint Unites YouTube Star SPD and Muay Thai Legend Buakaw Banchamek in Unique Collaboration

NetEase Games has announced an exciting new collaboration for Naraka: Bladepoint during the Naraka Fest 2024, bringing together legendary Muay Thai boxing champion Buakaw Banchamek and popular Thai YouTuber SPD in a groundbreaking partnership.

The collaboration goes beyond a typical game promotion, offering a deep dive into the world of Muay Thai through an intensive training experience. Buakaw, renowned for his exceptional fighting skills and impressive victory record, will be motion-captured for the game, allowing players to summon him as a character in battle by completing specific tasks and earning tokens.

SPD, one of Thailand’s top YouTuber influencers and a massive fan of Buakaw, has embarked on a challenging journey to learn the essence of Muay Thai directly from the martial arts master. Traveling to Buakaw’s home village, SPD underwent a personalized and grueling training program designed to test his physical and mental limits.

The collaboration aligns with Naraka: Bladepoint’s mission to promote martial arts culture worldwide. In addition, the game continues to provide a unique platform that showcases combat disciplines from various countries, fostering a positive atmosphere of cultural exchange through interactive gaming.

This partnership represents more than just a game update. It’s an opportunity for fans to witness the dedication and skill required in martial arts, as SPD attempts to meet the high standards set by one of Muay Thai’s greatest practitioners. Additionally, fans are eagerly anticipating whether SPD can rise to the challenge and successfully complete the rigorous training.

Moreover, as the collaboration unfolds, it promises to bring an authentic and immersive martial arts experience to the gaming world, bridging the gap between traditional combat sports and interactive entertainment.
