by Carter Jan 31,2025

Morefun Studios' highly anticipated action game, previously known as Hitori no Shita: The Outcast, is back with a new name and release date. Now titled The Hidden Ones, this 3D brawler promises a thrilling experience with parkour, intense martial arts combat, and more, launching in 2025. A pre-alpha test is scheduled for January.

Set in modern-day China, the game follows Zhang Chulan, a young martial artist whose grandfather's unique techniques attract unwanted attention from the martial arts world. The recently released gameplay trailer showcases impressive combat mechanics, including parkour-style movement, energy projectile usage, and dynamic 3D brawling sequences. Secondary protagonist Wang Ye also makes an appearance.

A Gritty, Grounded Aesthetic

Information on The Hidden Ones has been scarce, adding to the intrigue surrounding the game's multiple titles. However, initial impressions suggest a visually striking game with a darker, grittier aesthetic than many other 3D ARPGs. While not photorealistic, the style feels more grounded and intense.

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