Final Frontier, director HANZOHANZO and CGI studio Sehsucht created the launch film for Naraka Championship, the live e-sports tournament for players of the new Naraka: Bladepoint game.
Naraka: Bladepoint is a battle royale PC game launched in August 2021 by 24 Entertainment under technology company NetEase. Taking place against the backdrop of the battle between two ancient gods – Sunwing and Moonbane – the game tells the story of heroes from all over the world coming to the legendary Morus Isle to compete for the immortal mask.
The trailer introduces us to Viper Ning, a blademaster of Kunlun, who meditates in her dojo, visualising prospective opponents in ethereal dreamscapes, before realising her destiny is to duel with the warrior monk Tian Hai. As a storm rages, the two exchange fierce blows on the gargantuan back of Moonbane, writhing between the swoops and dives of a colossal, flaming Sunwing. The film ends on an image of the two massive beasts poised for battle, indicating an imminent clash between the warriors of the worlds.
