Tencent's "The Hidden Ones" Unveils Martial Arts Epic for 2025

Morefun Studios' resurrected Hitori no Shita, now titled The Hidden Ones, is slated for a 2025 release. This 3D action brawler, based on the popular webcomic, features parkour, intense brawling, and more. A pre-alpha test is planned for January.

The game, set in modern-day China, follows Zhang Chulan, a young martial artist whose grandfather's techniques unexpectedly thrust him into the demanding world of martial arts. The recently released gameplay trailer showcases impressive combat, including parkour maneuvers and signature 3D martial arts moves, alongside secondary protagonist Wang Ye.

A Grittier Take on the Genre

Researching The Hidden Ones proved challenging, given the series' multiple names. However, initial impressions suggest a high-quality release from Morefun Studios. The game's darker, grittier aesthetic sets it apart from other 3D ARPGs.

The game's success hinges on its ability to attract players unfamiliar with the source material. For those craving more kung-fu action in the meantime, explore our list of the top 25 best fighting games for iOS and Android.
