 Naraka Bladepoint 

In the world of Battle Royals, there is always something coming out that just makes us believe that creativity has no end. That is exactly what the developer team of 24 Entertainment has done as well with their upcoming PC game Naraka Bladepoint. The game takes place on an island, a dystopian one, named Morus. On the island, the players face off against each other, which honestly sounds like a normal Battle Royal Right? 

Well, this is where things get interesting, the weapons used in the game are not guns or rockets or grenades. You do not get cars and trucks or bikes to move around in. In Naraka Bladepoint, like a ninja, you use grappling hooks and ropes, parkour skills, and speed to move around from rooftop to rooftop to trees and such. There are some cool special weapons, character-specific abilities, and more for you to explore. 

The game is set to be released on 12th August 2021. It is available for beta testing on Steam.
