We already know one of the first surprise of the awards, a new action game and samurai developed by NetEase Games and 24 Entertainment.
Although The Game Awards 2019 will not take place until December 13 at 02:30 in the morning (Spanish local time), the organizer and presenter of the event, Geoff Keighley, has already advanced some of the announcements that will occur during the gala. The first one is Naraka: Bladepoint, a game that has barely shown the logo and dropped a phrase: "Where cold steel collides and blood dries, souls bloom."
Bloodlust Hold Us Tight.
Tune into #TheGameAwards on Dec. 12. # NARAKABLADEPOINT https://t.co/qnckIqLYeq– NARAKA: BLADEPOINT (@NARAKATHEGAME) December 10, 2019
What Keighley did not expect is that this advancement of his, which could have been signed by From Software, led the most seasoned fans to look for project information … and find it. As pointed out by Gematsu, the Chinese distributor NetEase Games (a well-known side of the sector that has investments in Blizzard, Bungie and Quantic Dream) registered the Naraka brand: Bladepoint on November 26 in Europe and the United States. Not only that, but there is also a Twitter account and a web page that confirms the developer, 24 Entertainment (without previous work), and where you can see even more concept art of the game. Even being too early to venture, it looks like an oriental-themed action title reminiscent of projects such as For Honor and Nioh. "Get your revenge with every enemy you find," says his last tweet.
