Tencent Pushes Back The Hidden Ones Pre-Alpha Playtest to Next Month

The highly anticipated pre-alpha playtest for The Hidden Ones, the action brawler based on the popular Hitori No Shita: The Outcast universe, 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, according to an announcement on the game's official website.

A Deep Dive into The Hidden Ones

Blending Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang with modern martial arts, The Hidden Ones immerses players in a cinematic story centered around the Outcasts. The game emphasizes character mastery, encouraging players to understand each character's unique abilities and philosophies.

Gameplay features include:

  • Story Mode: Progress through multiple levels, facing increasingly difficult bosses tied to the Hitori No Shita lore. Bosses evolve alongside the player's skills.
  • Duel Mode: Engage in intense player-versus-player combat.
  • Action Roulette: A unique mechanic allowing players to temporarily acquire other characters' abilities during fights.
  • Trial Mode: A challenging series of boss battles demanding mastery of various characters and fighting styles.
