Naraka: Bladepoint is out now on PS5, with the free-to-play Battle Royale getting a stylish launch trailer showing off the kind of melee-focused action that awaits. As promised, there's even a pack available for PS Plus subscribers with some in-game content to get you started.
It's got quite a bit of attitude, and we look forward to taking this one for a spin. Gematsu showed off some great gameplay recently, and we were surprised by how smooth the action looked (but not by the propensity of scantily-clad ladies). With more than 20 million existing players, it might be worth seeing what all the fuss is about.
What do you think of Naraka: Bladepoint, will you be giving it a go? If you've played on PC previously, what did you think? Let us know in the eternal battleground that is the comments section below.

I was looking forward to trying this, but it keeps disconnecting me while trying to do the tutorial. I’ll give it another try later on.
Can't find the ps4 version! Are you sure it is out?
I will give it a download later today.
@Alex_P it’s certainly out on PS5. I’m downloading it now. But I don’t see any indication of the being a PS4 version available.
The screen tearing is awful.
@Ryall @Alex_P My apologies! It is just the PS5 version available; I've updated the article, my bad. It's on Xbox One and was supposed to come at a later date, but I couldn't find anything recent from the devs on the matter
@StrawberryTurtle Sums up my thoughts too.
It looks like it could be fun with a friend, but with FF and Zelda there's no time for anything else. (It's a nice problem to have.)
Absolutely adore the artstyle and character design it's everything I love in a game but the type of game unfortunately just isn't for me
@Keyblade-Dan Have you played Sword and Fairy: Together Forever? It’s an action RPG that has a similar look to this.
@Bentleyma I haven't but I saw an ad for one of those games a little while ago it looked really good gonna pick it up at some point
looks cool, but chinese company NetEase, that's a hard pass.
@Keyblade-Dan There’s also Xuan Yuan Sword 7.
@Keyblade-Dan Yes, Sword and fairy together forever is a brilliant game, I'm playing it and I've got it in the last sale for $30 for the premium edition.
I found some time to finish the tutorial today and there are some interesting mechanics on start I would say. Just wondering if there will be more. The only one thing which slightly distracted me is the quality of cut scenes and tutorial videos as they just look awful in 4K. I’m ready to rumble though.
Nope, real gamers don't support anti-consumer GAAS titles, so I will definitely be passing to play something worthwhile.
