Nier coming to Naraka: Bladepoint in stunning collaboration

The Nier series is no stranger to crossover events. From Rainbow Six Siege to Fall Guys, Yoko Taro’s visionary titles have charmed players from all walks of life, and now it’s time for Naraka: Bladepoint to get in on the act.

According to the official press release, fans of Naraka: Bladepoint will be getting exclusive new content inspired by characters and weapons from the world of Nier, and I for one am seriously smitten with the 2B-inspired skin for Viper Ning.

Developer 24 Entertainment shared the news of the upcoming collaboration on Wednesday, along with a bunch of other details about the battle royale’s future, including a full release on Xbox One and a new hero that rides a mech.

Publisher NetEase are currently holding an esports tournament for the 60-player PvP title in Singapore, with competitors battling it out over a $1.5 million prize pool.

Sadly, there’s no release date for the Nier crossover event yet, but hopefully it won’t be too long as I can’t wait to see what loot will be included. Luckily, we know Virtuous Treaty - 2B’s iconic sword - will feature.
