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 high-stakes conflict and intrigue.

The recently released gameplay trailer showcases impressive visuals and action sequences, including the introduction of secondary protagonist Wang Ye. Expect intense 3D martial arts combat, dynamic parkour movements across cityscapes, and the thrilling exchange of energy projectiles.

A Grittier Take on Kung Fu

Tracking down information on The Hidden Ones has been challenging, given the various names associated with the project. However, initial impressions suggest a visually stunning game with a darker, grittier aesthetic than many other 3D ARPGs. This grounded visual style sets it apart.

The game's success, however, will hinge on its ability to attract players unfamiliar with the source material.
