In August, Naraka: Bladepoint announced that the game would release new outfits for Justina Gu and Viper Ning, cooperating with Intel and Hangzhou Museum. The outfits are based on Chinese folklore of the Legend of the White Snake, with Viper Ning acting as the white snake, Suzhen Bai, and Justina Gu acting as the green snake, Xiaoqing. The lore was a sad story of a powerful snake spirit fell in love with a human.
