Surprise! NetEase Thunder Fire has just revealed Blood Message, an all-new action-adventure game that looks like a wuxia Uncharted.
Described as a “story-driven, single-player, action-adventure set in Ancient China,” Blood Message will feature “cutting-edge technology [to] heighten immersion in [an] epic blockbuster experience.”
Players can expect a deeply emotional journey with gameplay “anchored in cinematic storytelling,” and visceral, realistic combat that blends stealth and survival mechanics. You’ll visit diverse landscapes right across eastern and central Asia.
Blood Message is an upcoming third-person linear action-adventure game developed by 24 Entertainment Studio and NetEase Thunder Fire. It introduces a forgotten odyssey of loyalty and survival where players join Dunhuang’s uprising, taking control of a nameless messenger and his young son in this immersive third-person action-adventure.
“Caught in the crossfire of a righteous uprising and driven by loyalty to both family and country, players will embark on a perilous eastward journey to deliver a message that holds the fate of their war-torn homeland,” teases the blurb. “Amidst the shifting sands of history, they will etch a final tale of loyalty. “
“From not knowing about this game five minutes ago, it is now at the top of my most wanted list. Looks incredible!” said one impressive fan on YouTube, with another suggesting: “I see quite a bit of Uncharted/Tomb Raider Reboot DNA in this and I’m liking it!”
Blood Message coming to PC and consoles, although a release window has not yet been confirmed.
