Blood Strike debuts a gory winter event for you action seekers out there
Braaains, or erm, preeesents in this case
- Blood Strike's 2024 Winter Event is here
- It sees the addition of a new Zombie Royale mode, and powerful weapon
- That's alongside log-in rewards and more
NetEase's flagship battle royale Blood Strike is set to debut its requisite winter event for the holidays. However, if you were expecting snowy trees and Christmas wrapping, you may be disappointed. And that's because Blood Strike's winter event for 2024 comes with a whole host of new shoot-'em-up action!
For one, there's a new mode to enjoy in the form of Zombie Royale. If you ever played Infected or other types of multiplayer modes like it, you'll probably already know what to expect; it's kill or be killed in a battle of humans vs the living dead, with downed players joining the undead hordes; although they may be friendlier than usual.
The new mode is complemented by the addition of the powerful Blood Crystal Greatsword, equipped with deadly new attacks. Meanwhile, logging in between December 5th and January 8th can earn you the Ultra Gun Skin, with an additional Ultra Striker Skin only available until the 25th. And on top of that, there are new rewards for friend invites, and even for logging in on Christmas Day (Dec. 25th) itself!
Yes, zombies and laser swords might not be what you think of when you think about Christmas but- well, I've actually got no defence for that, you're probably right. Still, if you're looking for suitably bloody, high-octane action to take the edge off when you're being plagued by annoying relatives and parties this holiday season, maybe Blood Strike's new update has come at the right time for you.
And if you're a Blood Strike veteran already, and want to try something new, there's a whole lot of options out there! Why not have a go at some of those on our list of the top battle royale games for iOS and Android?
