You could easily mistake upcoming action game Blood Message for a first-party PlayStation title. Set in Ancient China, it blends exciting set-piece sequences with brutal combat and cutscenes with a high level of cinematic flair.

I went hands-on with an early slice of the game at Summer Game Fest 2026 and had the chance to exclusively chat with senior director of global publishing Jeff Hu, who describes it as a "dream" for developer 24 Entertainment.
