Update with Katya released for Blood Strike

«Royal Battle» Blood Strike by NetEase, released in spring 2025, continues to evolve and receive positive reviews on Steam. This time, the developers have introduced a resort location, a heroine named Katya from the Iga ninja clan, as well as a huge number of fixes. Also of interest is an event where rewards are given to everyone who explores the map or activates an account. Let's take a closer look at what players can do in August.

As is known, this game belongs to hero shooters — here, characters have unique skills and traits. Now their list has been expanded with Katya, who possesses ninja techniques. She can move quickly, run on walls, and throw kunai to not only wound but also slow down opponents. Also in her arsenal is the ability «Dance of the Rising Phoenix» — a swift dash over a short distance. And all fighters in general have access to the Spear weapon in the update, which fires 6.8x51 mm ammunition at high speed. The set of key changes is completed by the «Skyscraper Beach» location — it represents the sandy shore of a tropical island.

On the occasion of adding the map, the action game features thematic activities. You can receive bonuses simply for exploring the area: this way, you can obtain appearances from the «Bandit» series, camouflages, and the «Enhanced Viper» skin. Additionally, rewards will be awarded for logging into the game throughout the month, and for inviting three friends by August 24, you can get an original melee weapon — a golf club — for free. As for balance adjustments, the M1887, SVD, and Type MM-99 were modified — the latter cannon was enhanced to encourage its more frequent use in matches.
