Blood Message, the recently announced action-adventure game from NetEase-owned developer 24 Entertainment, could launch as early as 2026, according to a rumor. The game, set in Ancient China, was revealed for PC and consoles.

NetEase-owned developer 24 Entertainment only revealed the upcoming Blood Message, an action-adventure game set in Ancient China, on June 19, but an insider says we could see a release in 2026.
While a 2026 launch would be surprising for a game only recently revealed, the insider claims the game has been in development for some time and that a reveal was supposed to happen much sooner.
What Is Blood Message?
Blood Message is a third-person action-adventure game from 24 Entertainment, a Chinese developer owned by NetEase. Following the story of a father and his son in ancient China, the game explores the final years of the Tang Dynasty, which ruled China from 618 to 907 AD/CE.
The developer describes the game as such: “Set in the late Tang Dynasty in 848 AD, players take on the role of a nameless messager who embarks on a perilous eastward journey to deliver a message that holds the fate of his homeland.”
Where Did the Rumor Come From?
A rumor regarding the release of the game Blood Message in 2026 has surfaced online, originating from Lunatic Ignus on X, who says the game was greenlit in 2018 before entering development in 2021.
Ignus further states that the game was initially scheduled to be announced in 2023 and has a “possible” release window in the second half of 2026, with a launch price of $70.
