The Hidden Ones

The Hidden Ones (formerly known as Hitori no Shita: The Outcast) is a 3D action-fighting game from Tencent subsidiary MoreFun Studios, based on the martial-arts webcomic and anime of the same name. Players fight through a story-driven campaign, a PvP duel system, and a trial mode focused on boss challenges, using skill-based combat built around timing, combos, parries, and grabs rather than a persistent shared world. A pre-alpha test concluded in March 2025; the game is catalogued here as a non-MMO reference rather than a full MMO profile.

Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • The Hidden Ones is session-based rather than a persistent shared world, so it is catalogued here as a reference rather than a full MMO profile.
  • Not a persistent MMO; skill-based fighting-game combat emphasizing timing, combos, parries, and grabs across a story campaign, PvP duels, and a boss trial mode
  • Players considering it as an MMO alternative should know it will not offer a continuously-online shared world to log back into.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Not a persistent MMO; in development at Tencent's MoreFun Studios, with pre-alpha testing completed in 2025 but no confirmed public release date
  • Sourced from Gematsu, Game8, and Pocket Gamer coverage of the game's reveal and pre-alpha test; treat details as a research summary rather than a live, first-hand playtest.
  • Business models, features and community size for older or lesser-known titles can drift quickly — verify current status before investing real money or time.
