The highly anticipated pre-alpha playtest for The Hidden Ones, the action brawler based on the popular Hitori No Shita: The Outcast franchise, has been delayed. Originally slated for next week, Tencent Games and MoreFun Studios have pushed the playtest back to February 27th, 2025. This two-month extension will allow the developers to refine the game and ensure a superior player experience, as announced on the game's official website.
A Deeper Dive into The Hidden Ones
Set within the rich mythology of Hitori No Shita, The Hidden Ones blends Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang with modern martial arts combat. Players will delve into a cinematic narrative, exploring the lives of the Outcasts and facing increasingly challenging bosses. Each boss encounter directly relates to a chapter in the overarching story, evolving alongside the player's progression.
The game offers diverse gameplay modes:
- Duel Mode: Engage in intense player-versus-player battles.
- Action Roulette: Dynamically acquire and utilize the skills of other characters during combat.
- Trial Mode: Conquer a series of progressively difficult boss fights, demanding mastery of various characters and fighting styles.
