The highly anticipated pre-alpha playtest for The Hidden Ones, the action brawler based on Hitori No Shita: The Outcast, 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 delay will allow for additional polishing and refinement to ensure a superior player experience. The announcement was made via the game's official website, which also provides further details.
Delving into the World of The Hidden Ones
The Hidden Ones immerses players in a thrilling martial arts world steeped in Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang, seamlessly integrated into a contemporary setting. The game emphasizes character understanding, philosophical depth, and mastery of unique abilities.
Players will unravel a cinematic storyline centered around the lives of the Outcasts, battling increasingly challenging bosses across multiple levels. These boss encounters directly correlate to chapters within the overarching martial arts saga, evolving in complexity alongside the player's progress.
Diverse game modes cater to various preferences. "Duel" mode offers intense player-versus-player combat, while an "action roulette" mechanic allows for dynamic skill acquisition mid-battle. A challenging "trial" mode presents a gauntlet of progressively difficult boss fights, demanding mastery of diverse characters and fighting styles.
