The Hidden Ones is a martial arts-themed new release from Tencent\'s Morefun Studios, coming 2025

Morefun Studios' Hitori no Shita isn't dead; it's been reborn as The Hidden Ones, a 3D action brawler slated for a 2025 release. After a period of silence, we finally have exciting news about this adaptation of the popular webcomic. A pre-alpha test is even planned for January!

Set in modern-day China, the game 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 exhilarating parkour sequences, dynamic 3D martial arts combat, energy projectile exchanges, and intense brawling.

Emerging from the Shadows

Researching The Hidden Ones has been challenging, given the series' multiple names. Despite this, Morefun Studios appears poised to deliver a compelling title. 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 attracting players unfamiliar with the source material.
