Sure thing, here it goes:

So, there’s this game. Blood Message. Revealed, like, not even that long ago in June. People are talking about it hitting shelves around 2026, give or take. Should I set my calendar yet? No idea. But this thing’s coming from 24 Entertainment, part of NetEase—you know, big name, huge outfit in China. They’ve done some stuff, notably that Naraka: Bladepoint game. Now they’re trying their hand at a single-player action-adventure shindig.
June 19 was a banger. NetEase dropped a trailer that’s, well, what you’d expect—a lot of energy, cinematic flair. We’re talking about journeys—father-son tag team mission across Ancient China, and all in that Tang Dynasty era. Pretty wild. And, rumors? Oh, they’re swirling. Possible launch by 2026, $70 price tag. That’s, uh, interesting given the game was greenlit way back in 2018. But can’t really complain about timelines these days, right?
Hop on Twitter, scroll through the hype. Lunatic Ignus, some insider, throws out that release window—second half of ‘26. Leak time! Seems like this one was in the oven for a while, with deets expected in 2023, but we’re here now only a year or so out. And then there’s some unexpected name-drops; NetEase rubbing elbows with folks behind God of War, and close pals with Feng Ji from Black Myth: Wukong fame. Curiouser and curiouser, right?
Oh yeah, potential influences from both God of War and Black Myth? Could spell either something mind-blowing or another case of “meh, seen that.” Definitely spill your coffee-worthy if true. But hey, let’s keep it salty, because leaker’s gotta keep it spicy, but don’t dive headfirst into the deep end just yet. These things are like cats—unpredictable.
So, we zoom out. Big picture stuff. Chinese gaming devs have seriously stepped up their AAA game (pun maybe intended). Think Black Myth: Wukong. Pretty glam run there. Expectations? Way up. The bar’s practically in space now with other titles like Phantom Blade Zero knocking around. Can Blood Message hang with these fellas? Fingers crossed. It’s a wait-and-watch game now, folks. Will it live up to the noise? Time’s got the answer.
