Morefun Studios' highly anticipated 3D action brawler, formerly known as Hitori no Shita: The Outcast, is back! Now titled The Hidden Ones, this game promises a thrilling experience blending 3D brawling, parkour, and intense martial arts combat. Target release is 2025, with a pre-alpha test slated for January.
Set in contemporary China, the story follows Zhang Chulan, a young martial artist who discovers his grandfather's teachings 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 dynamic parkour sequences, evading projectiles as you dash across buildings, alongside classic 3D martial arts combat, energy projectile exchanges, and intense brawling.
Emerging from the Shadows
Tracking down information on The Hidden Ones has been challenging, given the game's multiple title variations. However, initial impressions suggest a truly impressive release from Morefun Studios. The game's grittier, darker aesthetic stands out, offering a more grounded feel than many other 3D ARPGs.
Ultimately, The Hidden Ones' success hinges on its ability to attract players unfamiliar with the source material.
