Announced just a few hours ago by the Chinese company NetEase, Blood Message is already starting to attract everyone's attention. It must be said that the first trailer, made (like the entire game) on the Unreal Engine 5 engine with technologies belonging to the development studio 24 Entertainment Lin'an, is absolutely beautiful.
The game should be a triple-A action, adventure, narrative single-player title, an ambitious title that will also be the very first project from the studio 24 Entertainment Lin'an.
Blood Message: Chinese studios impress
Last summer was marked by the release of Black Myth: Wukong, the very first game from the Chinese studio Game Science. An extremely beautiful and good game that has received very good critical feedback from players and the press. After a release in August 2024 on PC and PS5, the title will arrive at the end of summer 2025 on Xbox Series X/S. Today, it is the turn of the company NetEase and the studio 24 Entertainment 临安 (Lin’an) to announce their game: Blood Message. According to the first information shared by the studio, the title would be a linear and narrative single-player action-adventure game that will be available at a date yet unknown on PC and consoles. The precise platforms have not yet been specified either. The game will be inspired by the real historical event of the Dunhuang Rebellion, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, in 848 AD. Players will take on the role of an anonymous messenger embarking on a perilous journey east to deliver a message that will determine the fate of his homeland. Accompanying him will be his son. Together, they must survive relentless enemy sieges and a perilous 3,000-li odyssey, fighting against all odds to return to the heart of the Tang: Chang'an. Amidst the desert sands, they carve the ultimate tale of loyalty for the Great Tang.
The developers promise a game with gameplay based on a very cinematic narrative with visceral and realistic combat. The title is also expected to feature survival mechanics and stealth. In terms of settings, Blood Message should take us on a journey to vast landscapes inspired by the regions of East and Central Asia.
Finally, 24 Entertainment 临安 (Lin’an) promises us a story featuring a moving story with themes of loyalty, honor, family, cultural identity, and sacrifice.
