Morefun Studios' highly anticipated action game, formerly known as Hitori no Shita: The Outcast, is back! Now titled The Hidden Ones, this 3D brawler promises parkour, intense martial arts combat, and more, slated for a 2025 release. A pre-alpha test is planned for January.
News on the game has been scarce, but we finally have some exciting updates! Set in modern-day China, the game follows Zhang Chulan, a young martial artist who discovers his grandfather's unique fighting techniques are highly sought after – and those seeking them aren't taking "no" for an answer.
The recently released gameplay trailer (see below) showcases impressive visuals and introduces secondary protagonist Wang Ye. Expect fast-paced parkour sequences, intense 3D martial arts combat, energy projectile exchanges, and thrilling brawls.
Emerging from the Shadows
Tracking down information on The Hidden Ones has been challenging, especially considering the multiple names associated with the project. However, initial impressions suggest a truly remarkable game from Morefun Studios. The darker, grittier aesthetic stands out, offering a more grounded feel compared to other 3D ARPGs.
Ultimately, the game's success will hinge on its ability to attract players unfamiliar with the source material.
