Newsflash: Pre-Alpha Playtest for The Hidden Ones Delayed

Fans eagerly awaiting the pre-alpha playtest of The Hidden Ones, the action brawler based on Hitori No Shita: The Outcast, will need to adjust their calendars. Originally slated for next week, Tencent Games and MoreFun Studios have announced a postponement to February 27th, 2025. This two-month delay allows the developers additional time for polishing and optimization, ensuring a superior player experience. The announcement was made via the game's official website, which also provides further details.

A Deeper Look at The Hidden Ones

The Hidden Ones plunges players into a thrilling martial arts world steeped in Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang, seamlessly blended into a contemporary setting. The game emphasizes character understanding, philosophical depth, and mastering unique abilities.

The cinematic storyline unfolds, exploring the lives of the Outcasts. Players will progress through challenging levels, confronting increasingly formidable bosses. Each boss encounter directly relates to a chapter in the overarching martial arts saga, dynamically evolving alongside the player's skill.

Multiple game modes cater to diverse preferences. "Duel" mode offers intense player-versus-player combat, while an "action roulette" mechanic allows players to temporarily utilize the skills of other characters mid-battle. A grueling "trial" mode presents a gauntlet of epic boss fights, demanding mastery of various characters and fighting styles to survive.
