Morefun Studios' resurrected Hitori no Shita, now titled The Hidden Ones, is slated for a 2025 release. This 3D action brawler, based on the popular webcomic, features parkour, intense brawling, and more. A pre-alpha test is planned for January.
Set in modern China, the game follows Zhang Chulan, a young martial artist who discovers his grandfather's techniques are highly sought after, leading him into a world of intense martial arts conflict. The game also features Wang Ye as a secondary protagonist.
Recent gameplay footage showcases impressive parkour elements, including building-to-building traversal while evading projectiles, alongside classic 3D martial arts combat, energy blasts, and close-quarters brawling.

Researching The Hidden Ones proved challenging, given the franchise's multiple names. However, initial impressions suggest a high-quality release from Morefun Studios. The game's grittier, darker aesthetic stands out, offering a more grounded feel than many other 3D ARPGs.
