Hidden Martial Arts Epic Unveiled: Tencent's The Hidden Ones Set for 2025

Morefun Studios' highly anticipated 3D action brawler, formerly known as Hitori no Shita: The Outcast, is back with a new name and release date! Now titled The Hidden Ones, this game promises intense 3D brawling, thrilling parkour sequences, and more, launching in 2025. A pre-alpha test is scheduled for January.

Based on the popular webcomic, The Hidden Ones follows Zhang Chulan, a young martial artist who discovers his grandfather's teachings are highly sought after in the martial arts world. This discovery plunges him into a world of intense conflict and demanding challenges.

The latest gameplay trailer (see below) showcases impressive visuals and introduces secondary protagonist Wang Ye. The trailer highlights dynamic parkour, evasive maneuvers, energy projectile combat, and intense brawling action.

A Grittier Take on Kung Fu

Information on The Hidden Ones has been scarce, adding to the intrigue surrounding this project. However, initial impressions suggest a promising release from Morefun Studios. The game's darker, grittier aesthetic sets it apart from other 3D ARPGs, offering a more grounded and realistic feel.

The game's success, however, hinges on its ability to attract players unfamiliar with the source material. Will it capture a broader audience? Only time will tell.
