Tencent's 'The Hidden Ones' Pre-Alpha Test Rescheduled

The highly anticipated pre-alpha playtest for The Hidden Ones, the action brawler based on Hitori No Shita: The Outcast, has been rescheduled. Initially slated for next week, Tencent Games and MoreFun Studios have pushed the date 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

Set within the rich tapestry of the Hitori No Shita universe, The Hidden Ones delivers a thrilling martial arts experience infused with Eastern philosophies like Taoism and the Yin Yang concept. The game emphasizes character understanding, philosophical depth, and mastering unique abilities.

Players will immerse themselves in a cinematic narrative following the lives of the Outcasts, battling increasingly challenging bosses across multiple levels. These bosses are directly linked to chapters within the martial arts saga and dynamically evolve alongside the player's progress.

Multiple game modes cater to diverse preferences:

• Duel Mode: Engage in intense player-versus-player combat.
• Action Roulette: Steal opponents' skills mid-battle for unpredictable gameplay.
• Trial Mode: Conquer a series of progressively difficult boss fights, demanding mastery of various characters and fighting styles.
