Morefun Studios' highly anticipated 3D action game, previously known as Hitori no Shita: The Outcast, is reborn as The Hidden Ones, launching in 2025! This exciting update brings with it a fresh title and a confirmed release date, alongside a pre-alpha test slated for January.
Based on the popular webcomic, The Hidden Ones plunges players into modern-day China, following the journey of young martial artist Zhang Chulan. His grandfather's unique martial arts techniques unexpectedly thrust him into a world of intense intrigue and high-stakes conflict.
The recently released gameplay trailer (see below) showcases impressive 3D brawling, parkour-style movement across urban landscapes, energy projectile combat, and the appearance of secondary protagonist Wang Ye. The game's darker, grittier aesthetic sets it apart from other 3D ARPGs.
A Name Change and a Promising Future
Tracking down information on The Hidden Ones has been challenging, given the numerous title changes throughout its development. However, initial impressions suggest a truly compelling game. The darker, more grounded visual style is a standout feature.
The game's success, however, will depend on its ability to attract players unfamiliar with the source material.
