Summer Game Fest 2024 came to an end with the first gameplay reveal of Phantom Blade Zero. This is the first we’ve seen from Phantom Blade Zero since it was🃏 revealed at the PlayStation Showcase last year. The a♕ction RPG focuses on deep fast-paced combat in a fictious world that meshes Chinese martial arts and Steampunk together.
With how ambitious Phantom Blade Zero looked in 2023 followed by a year of nothing new, I was starting to get a little worried. However, this gameplay trailer alleviated all my concerns. It looks as though Phantom Blade Zero is pulling in elements of a ton of successful titles including Elden Ring, Sekiro, and Ghost of Tsushima.
I know that any trailer can be intentionally designed to look a certain way, but the fluidity of the combat in this gameplay trailer looks absolutely insane. The player quickly weaves in attacks while jumping over attacks and parrying or dodging others. I can’t wait to hear more about how some of the more RPG-centric elements work.
Developer S-Game confirmed that there will be hands-on experiences to play Phantom Blade Zero throughout the year, including at Summer Game Fest 2024, Tokyo Game Sh🃏ow, and Gamesco💮m.
Phantom Blade Zero does not yet have a release ti⭕meframe but will be released on both PlayStation 5 and PC.
