NetEase has officially revealed Blood Message, its first triple-A single-player action-adventure game, developed by its 24 Entertainment studio. The game is set during the late Tang Dynasty, specifically in 848 AD, against the historical backdrop of the Dunhuang Uprisings and the aftermath of the Anshi Rebellion, which weakened the Tang Empire and led to the loss of control over the Western Region, including modern-day Gansu and Xinjiang. Blood Message follows a nameless protagonist, a father, and his son on a mission to deliver a critical message that could alter the fate of their homeland. The game has been described as a narrative-driven, linear action-adventure with stealth and survival elements, drawing comparisons to the Uncharted series with a wuxia-inspired cinematic experience. The reveal trailer, released on June 20, 2025, quickly garnered significant attention, accumulating 8 million views on the Chinese video platform Bilibili. The project marks NetEase's entry into the AAA single-player game market and showcases impressive graphics and storytelling ambitions.
