The highly anticipated pre-alpha playtest for The Hidden Ones, the action brawler based on the popular Hitori No Shita: The Outcast franchise, has been rescheduled. Originally slated for next week, Tencent Games and MoreFun Studios have announced a new launch date of February 27th, 2025. This two-month postponement allows the developers additional time for refinement and optimization, ensuring a superior player experience. The announcement was made via the game's official website, where further details can be found.
A Deeper Dive into The Hidden Ones
Blending the rich Eastern philosophies of Taoism and Yin Yang with modern martial arts, The Hidden Ones immerses players in a cinematic narrative centered around the Outcasts. The gameplay focuses on mastering unique character abilities and understanding their underlying philosophies.
Players will progress through challenging levels, confronting increasingly difficult bosses. Each boss encounter directly correlates to a chapter within the overarching martial arts saga, evolving in tandem with the player's skill progression.
Multiple game modes cater to diverse preferences. "Duel" mode pits players against each other in intense, skill-based combat. An innovative "action roulette" mechanic allows players to temporarily acquire and utilize the abilities of other characters during battles. "Trial" mode presents a grueling series of boss battles, demanding mastery of various characters and fighting styles to succeed.
This concludes our update on The Hidden Ones' pre-alpha playtest. For our next news piece, we'll be covering the early access release of the open-world simulation game, Palmon Survival.
