Tencent's 'The Hidden Ones' to Debut in 2025

Morefun Studios' highly anticipated action title, previously known as Hitori no Shita: The Outcast, is back with a new name and release date! Now titled The Hidden Ones, this 3D brawler, based on the popular webcomic, is slated for a 2025 release, with a pre-alpha test kicking off in January.

Set in contemporary China, the game follows Zhang Chulan, a young martial artist who discovers his grandfather's teachings are highly sought after in the world of martial arts. The recently released gameplay trailer showcases impressive 3D brawling, parkour-style movement across buildings, energy projectile combat, and features the secondary protagonist, Wang Ye.

The game's darker, grittier aesthetic sets it apart from other 3D ARPGs, offering a unique visual style. While familiarity with the source material may enhance the experience, The Hidden Ones aims to captivate a broader audience with its dynamic combat and engaging storyline. The success of the game will hinge on its ability to attract players beyond the existing fanbase.
