The Hidden Ones is preparing for the final test
The Chinese action-fighting game The Hidden Ones is entering the home stretch of development. The creators have announced a call for players to join the final test, which will serve as the game's last major trial run before launch.
Applications open on October 15, and the test itself begins on November 4. Participation will be limited, and all progress made during the testing period will be wiped once it concludes.
Meanwhile, the full release date is already known: The Hidden Ones will launch in China on December 26, 2026. However, the situation regarding an international launch is far less clear. The developers have not announced a global release window, and the project's official social media channels and Discord server have yet to provide further details.
The Hidden Ones is being developed simultaneously for PC and mobile devices, emphasizing spectacular 3D graphics, cinematic cutscenes, and a combat system incorporating elements of Eastern martial arts. The game draws on Eastern mythology, while its combat mechanics — in terms of pacing and choreography — are reminiscent of Sifu.
Interest in the project remains high in China; The Hidden Ones currently tops the list of most anticipated games among Chinese players.
For now, the game has only been announced with Chinese language support. Consequently, those wishing to understand the story and mechanics immediately upon launch will need to be patient — or have a translation tool ready.
