Naraka: Bladepoint is celebrating its first anniversary with the launch of the new weekend-only Showdown campaign mode. In Showdown, you’ll get to play as one of four legendary heroes – Kurumi, Tarka Ji, Valda Cui, and Viper Ning – and form a team of three to face off against one of Omnius’ incarnations and his army of monsters.

You’ll take on hordes of monsters in the first stage of the encounter and Omnius himself in the second and final stage, earning new equipment and unlocking skills as you go.

The new game mode will only be playable during the next three weekends and is available in Common, Hard, Nightscream, and Legend difficulties. Omnius and his followers will grow stronger and will have more diverse attacks and abilities with each difficulty level. Common, Hard, Nightscream are now available to play while Legend will be unlocked on August 12th.

Players can also look forward to more new content later for the high-flying battle royale game this month in the form of the new Holorath map. The massive multi-zone map will come with new gameplay systems and mechanics, including inclement weather and cold weather mechanics.

In the meantime, you have a new challenge to take on this weekend and the next, and the next weekend after that. It’s unclear whether the new game mode will be available past August but the cinematic trailer below seems to hint at that.
