Servers for NARAKA: BLADEPOINT went offline at 23:00 UTC on August 12th, 2026, with maintenance scheduled to run until 04:00 UTC on August 13th.

What changed

The King's Avatar Crossover — Dual-Phase Brawl

A new casual mode ties NARAKA to The King's Avatar IP, structured around two linked battle phases:

• Players select a King's Avatar account card before entering either Arena Match or Team Battle.
• Arena Match: sequential one-on-one fights where the winner stays on; victories in 1v2 or 1v3 situations award bonus points, and each win grants a buff that carries into the subsequent Team Battle.
• Team Battle: infinite revives, with points earned through eliminations, consecutive kill streaks, and capturing the periodically spawning Spirit Well.
• Both phases feed into a single shared score; the faction with the higher combined total wins.
• Event Score Rewards are available through Event Center → A Single Fire Spark → Dual-Phase Brawl, based on match results and performance.
• Training skill rewards for the King's Avatar Account Card can be claimed via Event Center → A Single Fire Spark → Character Training.

Showdown's Skyfall Cataclysm

A new event mode set in Lin'an City tasks players with fighting through monster waves under Shadow Corruption pressure before advancing through the Nexus Gate to face an Enchanted boss. A subset of Showdown heroes is available; crucially, none of the standard Showdown out-of-game progression carries over, and each match randomizes elements (the source text cuts off before full details are listed).

Taken together, the update leans heavily on limited-time event content rather than persistent systems, making the maintenance window relevant mainly to players interested in the crossover or the Showdown side mode.
