Blood Message
GRTV News - NetEase unveils striking single-player action-adventure Blood Message
Assassin's Creed meets God of War meets Black Myth: Wukong?
Audio transcription
"Hello there, welcome back to GRTV News, I'm Alex, as always going through the afternoons latest and greatest when it comes to gaming, technology, entertainment, whatever you like and indeed whatever you love, we always have it here for you at GRTV News and in the wider Gamereactor Network as a whole, so if you like what you see and you want to see more be sure to check out Gamereactor wherever you get it from for more gaming reviews, gaming previews, movie reviews, series reviews, exclusives, interviews, world news, sports news and of course so much more, without further ado today we're talking exciting new reveal from NetEase as they've revealed their first AAA single player action adventure title called Blood Message, so as Ben writes here, it's essentially what if God of War was set in 9th century Tang Dynasty China and featured a Prince of Persia like protagonist, that's quite a good way to sum it up really, as this game as I said is a big AAA experience coming from NetEase and it sort of seems like the next step in the generation of Chinese games or games set in China that are making their way to western markets and proving that these games have success as well, Black Myth Wukong did very very well, Marvel Rivals from NetEase as well, a game from Chinese developers again did very very well, so there's clear demand for this and they also do well in China too, so Blood Message essentially follows, I'll read you the plot synopsis here, it's quote, set in the late Tang Dynasty in 848 AD, players take on the role of a nameless messenger who embarks on a perilous eastward journey to deliver a message that holds the fate of his homeland. Alongside his son, they must survive relentless enemy sieges and a treacherous 3,000-li odyssey, fighting against impossible odds to return to the heart of the Tang, Chang'an. Amidst the desert sands, they etch the final tale of loyalty in the great Tang. The world has heard too many stories of emperors and generals, Blood Message is an ode to unsung heroes. So yeah, you will have your son alongside you with this, which again sort of likens it a bit to God of War in that aspect, I'll let the trailer play for a bit in the background as we continue to talk about this. So it's also kind of based in history, in historical elements, specifically Dunhuang's uprisings, which is how a region of China basically freed themselves from Tibetan rule to once more return to the Tang Dynasty and all that we know apart from those sort of plot details and general gameplay of action-adventure, God of War style, is that it's coming to PC and consoles in the future and it's made on Unreal Engine 5. I'll skip a bit past this cutscene so we can see perhaps a bit more sort of gameplay here. The game does look very impressive, it's again like sort of Assassin's Creed-esque, God of War-esque, it does look like it's taking from action-adventure successes of the past, but of course because it's a new IP, because it's coming from NetEase and because it's a AAA sort of action-adventure experience, I would suggest that it's probably going to get quite a few eyes on it. We're not sure how the gameplay is going to go, I doubt that it's going to be more of a Souls-like type of vibe, but it does seem to be more, as you can see from the gameplay here, sticking as I said with that God of War, Assassin's Creed aspect. We don't have a release date for it yet, but considering the game does look pretty polished right now, I wouldn't say that it would be 5-10 years off, it's potentially something that we could see relatively soon in the future, the next couple of years or so. Would you be excited to play Blood Message? Are you putting it on your wishlist as soon as it becomes available? Let me know all that and more and I'll see you soon for some more GRTV news."
