NetEase just shared news about its new game, called Blood Message. This is the company’s first single-player game with a strong story and action-packed gameplay. It will be a linear adventure, which means you follow a set path through the game. Blood Message is made using Unreal Engine 5, so it should look really amazing. You can watch the first trailer for it below.
Blood Message will be based on the historical event of Dunhuang’s Uprising. It takes place in the year 848, near the end of China’s Tang Dynasty. You play as a nameless messenger who must travel over 1,000 miles to the east. Your mission is to deliver an important message that could save your homeland.
Players will travel through deadly places like empty deserts, wild forests, and dangerous land in East and Central Asia. They will have to survive tough battles, harsh land, and powerful enemies. The game’s setting will show a special time in Chinese history, filled with old traditions, culture, and stories from that era.
Blood Message will be a story-focused game that plays like a movie. It aims to have exciting and realistic fighting, mixing sneaky moves and survival skills. The creators want to take players on an emotional journey, with themes like family, honor, sacrifice, and staying true to your culture.
In the trailer, we get to see some combat and quick-time events. The game will be using a third-person camera that will be close to the character. Now I don’t know if the combat is what we’ll get. It definitely looks interesting. But, since this is a trailer, I suggest taking everything you’ll see with a grain of salt. At least I can say that what we see is in-engine footage. So, that’s at least something.
There is currently no ETA for when the game will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
