Season 19: Skybreak Treasure Scroll introduces The Maelstrom Shuffle Map
Season 19 is now live and brings Naraka’s first-ever Shuffle Map, The Maelstrom. Unlike traditional battlegrounds, The Maelstrom is dynamically assembled from fragmented terrain boards, ensuring each match features a unique layout and fresh tactical challenges.
Chaos Sea and Omni Realms add strategic depth
The Maelstrom introduces two core mechanics: Chaos Sea and Omni Realms. Players must gather Divine Armament Fragments within the Omni Realms to forge powerful Divine Weapons. These weapons help counter the restrictive effects of the Chaos Sea, allowing players to gain a decisive advantage during combat.
Players will encounter new pathways, terrain features, and challenges every time they drop into The Maelstrom, keeping gameplay unpredictable and exciting.
The Chaos Sea is a dangerous zone that drains health over time and weakens healing effects for anyone who lingers too long. This environmental threat forces players to constantly move and plan their positioning, adding an extra layer of strategy to combat.
The Maelstrom features roaming monsters on its floating fragments, making early engagement risky and emphasizing the importance of gear and resource management. Players can collect Extreme Weapon Shards from Chaos Stashes to craft powerful weapons that grant immunity to Chaos Poison, increased monster damage, and temporary effects against enemies.
Alongside updated items like Mind Deceiver and Ice Snap, these elements combine with the map’s dynamic layout and environmental hazards to create a fast-paced, unpredictable battlefield that rewards strategy and adaptability.
In addition, Naraka Fest confirmed that a new map, Herald’s Trial, is scheduled to arrive in Summer 2026, further expanding the game’s map variety and competitive possibilities.
New hero Zenda Wu and Dual Flintlocks arrive in Naraka Bladepoint 2026
Season 19 also sets the stage for upcoming character and weapon additions. The mysterious new hero Zenda Wu is set to join the roster in February 2026, accompanied by a new ranged weapon, the Dual Flintlocks, which introduces additional tactical flexibility.
Cosmetic content will expand as well, including the highly anticipated Iron Wan Extreme Outfit and a new series of regular in-game treasures.
