New Blood Message Trailer Gives Off Serious God of War and The Last of Us Vibes

NetEase Games and developer 24 Entertainment have unveiled a gripping new look at Blood Message. This upcoming single-player action epic, set against the backdrop of China’s Tang Dynasty, immediately evokes the high-stakes intensity of titles like God of War and The Last of Us. At its core, the game follows a nameless protagonist fighting through brutal, visceral combat to protect his son—a mission that evolves into an arduous journey across a war-torn landscape to save his home.

The trailer highlights a deep historical conflict centered on the Hexi Corridor in modern-day Gansu, a vital artery of the ancient Silk Road. Control of this region is a desperate tug-of-war between the Tang Dynasty and the encroaching Tibetan Empire. Our hero, a soldier-turned-messenger, is thrust into this turmoil when his son goes missing, forcing him to traverse punishing environments—from scorching deserts to dense, humid wilds—as he battles against overwhelming odds.

Experience the intensity in the latest Blood Message trailer:

“Set in 848 AD during the twilight of the Tang Dynasty, players step into the shoes of an anonymous messenger embarking on a perilous eastward trek to deliver a message upon which the future of his nation depends,” the developers explain. “Accompanied by his son, he must survive a three-thousand-li odyssey, braving relentless sieges and impossible odds to reach the capital, Chang’an. While history often fixates on emperors and generals, Blood Message serves as a poignant tribute to the unsung heroes who defined the era.”

A Glimpse at the World:

While an official release date remains under wraps, 24 Entertainment has confirmed that the title is in development for PC and consoles. For more context on the game’s announcement, you can revisit the original reveal trailer from last year.
