NARAKA: BLADEPOINT has been working closely with Kunio Okawara, a renowned Japanese mecha designer best known for his work in the anime industry, to design an original mech-themed outfit for Yueshan which is now available in-game! Check out how it looks in the video below.
This brand-new outfit creates an exciting clash of cultures within the game, bringing together a futuristic aesthetic with an ancient oriental world style. Once purchased, players will be able to equip Yueshan with 2674 Ruby-Red Emblem, a legendary new accessory, and transform him into a mech form known as DragonCall when he releases his ultimate.
This collaboration goes live on June 19th (Pacific Time) after the patch is released. During this time, players will be able to purchase the new accessory in-game and enjoy Kunio Okawara’s innovative, mecha-inspired design in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT.
Kunio Okawara commented on his collaborative part of the project: “My collaboration with 24 Entertainment began with concept art design last year, and now we are finally presenting the final work to Naraka’s players. The design of this mecha outfit incorporates many elements of dragons and is named DragonCall. The surge in collaboration with Chinese studios has had a profound impact on me, and I hope everyone can enjoy this mecha design together.”
To celebrate this collaboration with Kunio Okawara, NARAKA is releasing a new mode to coincide with its launch: Neo-Mech Clash. In this mode, players will be divided into two teams, with the team that scores the highest points being the final victor. Start playing this new mode now and pilot a mech and dominate the City of Tang! In addition to Neo-Mech Clash, players will be able to truly immerse themselves in the mech themes of the collaboration as a brand-new H5 mini-game has also launched. In the mini-game, players will be tasked with passing exams across three different categories: quiz questions; parkour tutorials; and parkour combat. Players who succeed across each category will obtain the final mech driving license which can also be shared with friends.
