Let us remind you that Phantom Blade Zero players will take on the role of Soul, an elite assassin of the elusive organization “The Order”, unfairly accused of the death of its patriarch. In 66 days, the hero must uncover the conspiracy and prove his innocence.

The released trailer lasts six minutes and shows a boss fight that controls a group of puppets, but switches roles with them in the second phase. The protagonist uses a pair of serpentine blades.

Users in the comments were delighted with what they saw, noting the quality of animation, choreography, combat system and music, as well as the uniqueness of the boss. “Nothing can be cooler than this,” futbolita89742 is sure.

Meanwhile, gaming consultant Daniel Camilo reports that Phantom Blade Zero has received “significant” additional funding following the success of Black Myth: Wukong.

According to two of Camilo’s informants, S-Game allegedly even had to refuse investors who, in the wake of the success of Black Myth: Wukong, began to flood Chinese game studios with money.

Phantom Blade Zero is being created for PC and PlayStation 5 (PS5 Pro support is announced) on the Unreal Engine 5. The game does not have a release date yet, but the developers promise to name the exact release date during 2025.
