The highly anticipated pre-alpha playtest for The Hidden Ones, the action brawler based on the popular Hitori No Shita: The Outcast series, has been rescheduled. Originally slated for next week, Tencent Games and MoreFun Studios have pushed the playtest back to February 27th, 2025. This two-month delay will allow the developers to refine the game and ensure a superior player experience, as announced on the game's official website.
A Deep Dive into The Hidden Ones
Blending Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang with modern martial arts, The Hidden Ones plunges players into a cinematic story centered around the Outcasts. The game emphasizes character mastery, encouraging players to understand each character's unique abilities and philosophical underpinnings.
Gameplay features intense boss battles across multiple levels, each boss representing a chapter in the overarching martial arts saga and evolving alongside the player's progress. Multiple game modes are included: a Duel mode for player-versus-player combat, an Action Roulette that allows mid-fight skill acquisition, and a Trial mode featuring increasingly difficult boss encounters. Survival demands mastery of diverse characters and fighting styles.
