NetEase Games and 24 Entertainment have rolled out a major February update for NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, delivering one of the game’s most content-rich patches to date. Launched earlier this month, the update introduces the highly anticipated new hero Zenda Wu, a brand-new ranged weapon, Dual Flintlocks, two innovative game modes, and a packed lineup of in-game events offering generous rewards.
As NARAKA: BLADEPOINT continues to evolve, this update reinforces the game’s focus on fresh combat mechanics, varied gameplay experiences, and player-friendly celebrations.
New Hero Zenda Wu Joins the Battle
Headlining the February update is Zenda Wu, a powerful new hero who brings a unique combat identity to NARAKA: BLADEPOINT. Zenda Wu is a formidable ranged specialist capable of controlling the battlefield with precision and overwhelming firepower.
Her abilities allow her to summon a spirit bird companion that assists in combat, while her advanced archery skills let players choose between firing a single devastating arrow or unleashing a wide-area arrow storm to pressure multiple enemies at once. With her arrival, ranged combat gains new depth and tactical options in high-level play.
Dual Flintlocks Introduce Tactical Ranged Combat
Alongside Zenda Wu, the update adds the Dual Flintlocks, a new ranged weapon designed for versatility and aggressive playstyles.
The Dual Flintlocks feature two distinct firing modes:
- Alternating Fire, allowing players to shoot continuously by alternating between pistols
- Bullet Hail, a charge-and-release mode that unleashes bullets at extremely high speed
This flexibility makes the Dual Flintlocks a strong choice for players who want to adapt quickly between sustained pressure and explosive burst damage.
February Events Unlock All Heroes and Exclusive Rewards
To celebrate the update, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT has launched a series of February in-game events starting earlier this month. One of the biggest highlights is that all heroes are fully unlocked and free to play for 35 days, giving players the chance to experiment with the entire roster.
Players can also earn:
- Exclusive skins, including Justina Gu’s Ink Dyed·Spring Ripples and Dagger’s Sugarcoated Sweetheart
- Over 50 Treasure Boxes through daily logins and regular activities
- Access to a Spring Festival Treasure Pool, featuring premium cosmetics such as Zenda Wu’s Extreme Outfit and Dagger’s Extreme Skin
These events make February one of the most rewarding months yet for both new and returning players.
Two New Game Modes Expand the NARAKA Experience
The February update also introduces two brand-new game modes, offering distinct ways to experience NARAKA: BLADEPOINT beyond its core battle royale gameplay.
River Runs Red
River Runs Red features an innovative dual-realm structure:
- The Outer World, focused on PvE exploration and puzzle-solving
- The Inner World, where players engage in large-scale PvP battles
This seamless transition between exploration and combat blends solo and multiplayer experiences into a single, cohesive mode.
The Evolution
The Evolution is a more chaotic, ability-driven entertainment mode that lowers the stakes and encourages experimentation. With more revival opportunities and flexible playstyles, players can:
- Focus on raw combat fundamentals
- Master skills instead of relying on ultimates
- Build defensive setups that emphasize dodging and survivability
The mode is designed for fast-paced fun and creative gameplay approaches.
A Standout Update for NARAKA: BLADEPOINT in 2026
With a new hero, a versatile weapon, two distinct game modes, and an abundance of rewards, the February 2026 update for NARAKA: BLADEPOINT represents a major step forward for the game. Whether you’re returning to test Zenda Wu’s abilities, unlocking every hero for free, or diving into the new modes, there’s no shortage of reasons to jump back in.
