Phantom Blade Zero Gameplay Trailer: New Weapons, No Release Date

Phantom Blade Zero: Snake-Themed Weapons & Gameplay

A new gameplay trailer for Phantom Blade Zero has dropped, showcasing exciting new features but still without a concrete release date. The trailer, celebrating the Year of the Snake, features:

New Weapons & Gameplay

• Soft Snake Sword: A sword-whip.
• White Serpent and Crimson Viper: Twin swords.
• A challenging boss battle against the Seven Judgments.

While a release date is promised this year, S-Game is using the extra budget to enhance visuals, particularly for the PS5 Pro. The developers describe the game as already polished, utilizing Unreal Engine 5 to push the boundaries further.

A Unique Martial Arts Experience

Phantom Blade Zero, announced by Sony in 2023, blends traditional Chinese martial arts with the flair of 80s and 90s Hong Kong action films. The combat is described as highly satisfying, emphasizing parrying and dodging, and the game’s difficulty is notable. Despite its challenging nature, the developers assure players it is absolutely not a Soulslike.

S-Game’s commitment to authentic cultural themes is evident, mirroring the success of Black Myth: Wukong.
