Synopsis

Setting

The June 2025 trailer reproduced a Tang-era mural from the Mogao Caves, depicting Zhang Yichao's army.[11]

Blood Message is set in East and Central Asia during the late Tang dynasty.[7][9][12] Thematically, the developers aimed to highlight the struggle for survival of ordinary individuals against the backdrop of grand historical events.[11] They said that they conducted extensive historical research in order to present a realistic setting and that the story is not infused with strong elements of fantasy.[11]

Historically, Zhang Yichao, whose allegiance was with the Tang Empire, led an uprising that reclaimed the regions of Guazhou and Shazhou.[6] Following the capture of Shazhou, he dispatched ten groups of messengers, who were mostly ordinary people, across vast and hostile territories to relay the news to Chang'an.[6] Adapting these actual events, the game places the player in the role of a messenger.[6]
