MODE SELECTOR

Battle royale is Naraka’s centrepiece, but it’s not the only mode on offer. There’s also The Bloodbath, which unlocks after a few rounds of battle royale. It’s a simple deathmatch that drops players into a tighter arena with unlimited respawns and a 12-minute timer. It’s a great way of practising a particular character or weapon, as every player starts with a fully loaded armoury – the perfect complement to the comprehensive selection of tutorials. Meanwhile, 24 Entertainment is working on “several” other multiplayer modes, we’re told, alongside a second map and other post-launch updates. “We have some surprises planned for our community,” Kwan says. “But I think we’re better to just keep them secret for now.”
