Blood Message

Blood Message is an action-adventure game. It is played in single-player mode from a third-person perspective.

The player controls the messenger Pei Changguan. The gameplay involves combat blended with stealth mechanics. The combat maneuvers include light attacks, heavy attacks, dodges, blocks, parries, counters, and executions.

Blood Message is set across East and Central Asia during the late Tang dynasty. It centers on a group of people who undertake a journey to deliver a crucial message to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire.

Thematically, the developers aimed to highlight the struggle for survival of ordinary individuals against the backdrop of grand historical events. The perspective of common people rather than emperors or generals is used to show the occurrences of the era. In order to present a realistic world, extensive historical research was conducted. There are no strong elements of fantasy.

Blood Message is a game developed by 24 Entertainment Lin'an. 24 Entertainment Lin'an is a subsidiary of NetEase Games. The game is built using Unreal Engine 5.

The development team, in collaboration with the Gansu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, conducted historical site scanning, geomorphological restoration, cultural relic digitization, ecological detail reproduction, and other work across the Hexi Corridor in order to recreate the region's character.
