NetEase's Blood Message Showcases Impressive Melee Combat in New

If the debut trailer for NetEase's new AAA action title, Blood Message, didn't blow you away during Summer Game Fest, then the follow-up video may make a better impression.

Developer 24 Entertainment has revealed an extended look at the gameplay of Blood Message, highlighting a more cinematic and action-packed experience than initially shown. Set in Asia during the ninth century amid the Shazhou uprising, the game follows Pei Changguan on a mission to deliver crucial news to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire.

Accompanied by his brother, Arrati, they encounter Tubo soldiers searching for vital information, leading to intense stealth encounters and epic sword battles. The gameplay, reminiscent of titles like Uncharted and The Last of Us, promises dynamic combat scenarios and a compelling narrative involving Changguan's son, Ning.

Blood Message is set to launch on PC and consoles, although an official release date is yet to be announced.
