Now titled The Hidden Ones, this game promises a thrilling experience blending 3D brawling, parkour, and intense martial arts combat. Prepare for its launch in 2025, with a pre-alpha test slated for 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. He's thrust into a world where his skills are in high demand, and he's not easily dismissed.
The recently released gameplay trailer (see below) showcases impressive combat mechanics and introduces Wang Ye as a secondary protagonist. Expect dynamic parkour sequences, evasive maneuvers, energy projectile exchanges, and intense close-quarters brawling.
A Resurgence from the Shadows
Information on The Hidden Ones has been scarce, adding to the intrigue surrounding the game's multiple names. However, initial impressions suggest a visually stunning and gritty experience, setting it apart from other 3D ARPGs with its darker aesthetic.
The game's success hinges on its ability to captivate audiences unfamiliar with the source material. Will it resonate beyond the fanbase of the original webcomic? Time will tell.
