Naraka: Bladepoint will launch on PlayStation 5 next week, developer 24 Entertainment announced today. On the same day (Thursday, July 13th), the popular game will change its business model and become free to play on all platforms.

It's a rather unique take on the Battle Royale genre focused on fast-paced melee combat, and it has attracted over 20 million players to date, according to 24 Entertainment.
In the official FAQ, the developers said they wanted to open the game to an even bigger audience. They also provided a table to compare the free-to-play version with the Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate editions.

These can be earned in a variety of ways by playing Naraka: Bladepoint. Free players will have a weekly cap of 35, but that can be removed by upgrading to one of the premium editions mentioned above.
