I’m getting strong Aboandoned/ The Day Before vibes from this game. Everything about the debut trailer screams vertical slice.

Hmmm if they are mentioning a demo I think it'll appear and be decent but we shall see.

Stellar Blade is already a buy, Already Love Helldivers so I'm hoping this also surprises and is Dope!

 

[Yurinka]

This game looks very cool, looking forward to it even if some say it doesn't exist (it's another PS5 console exclusive).

New trailer of Phantom Blade Zero, giving a sneak peek to the latest development of the game, featuring never-shown-before footage depicting high-speed combat and multiple weapons, among other game play elements. Announcement of a World Tour Demo.

One of the major surprises at Sony’s recent PlayStation Showcase was the reveal of S-Game’s Phantom Blade Zero. While we did see what looked liked gameplay, the studio has now relayed a lot more info about it such as the Phantom Blade Zero game length, whether what we saw was in-game and more.

In a Q&A conducted on the game’s Discord, the studio answered a few important questions. For one, we now know that the Phantom Blade Zero game length will take gamers up to 30-40 hours to complete the main story. There’s also multiplayer confirmed as well.

Question 1: Is there an assigned game price?
Not yet, we’ll discuss this issue with our partners when most part of the game is done.


Question 2: Explain whether if the combat we saw was actual combat and how does the combat works on the different controllers (Phone, PC, Console)
Yes, all combat scenes are captured in-engine, they are real. But we set a more “cinematic” camera to capture the trailer footage, some angles are specially set.
The actual game will have a stable camera with larger view scope. The combat will look much clearer, but less impactful as it is in the trailer(or it’ll be too dizzying).
“Combo Chain” is a system we have been developed for 10 years, in mobile games for most of the time, but we found it work on all kinds of controllers just fine. Players will edit their skill orders in 2 chains, and simply press the 2 bottoms to release super complex and fast combos. This makes everyone’s gameplay look like a professional twitcher of DMC or Ninja Gaiden. But there are still depth in how to organize the skill order, and other timing related skills(parry, dodge, etc).


Question 3: How long is the game?
Main story alone is about 30~40h, and there are tons of side quests to play with.
Upon completing the story mode, players are presented with a plethora of endgame content that includes various multiplayer dungeons, boss rushes, rogue-like abysses, and more.


Question 4: How we define the Phantom Blade Zero? Will it be like Ninja Gaiden / DMC or like Sekiro?
Kind of mix, the adventure map has multiple paths forward, and combat is similar to Ninja Gaiden. You can understand it as a traditional hack & slash with semi-open world map instead of a linear map.


Question 5: About the release time? and how long has the game been in development?
Release time is a question we can’t answer yet.
Early concept of the game has been written & designed since 2017, but limited to 2~3 core members. The actual development starts in early 2022.


Question 6: Will it be time exclusive or release at the same time on other platforms?
For now we don’t have any exclusivity on any platform.


Question 7: Is the game open world?
Not that kind of vast open world you need a horse to ride from point A to point B. But it does have multiple paths and some open world elements.

It looks fantastic.

 

[GachaMadeMeBroke]

Legit ecstatic that Sony keeps investing in these kinds of action games. Stellar Blade, Ronin and now this. Hopefully LSA soon as well. Love to see it.

 

[Plextorage]

That was showed last year on State Of Play?

 

[Hezekiah]

Looks pretty awesome. This and Black Myth

 

[GachaMadeMeBroke]

That was showed last year on State Of Play?

During the showcase. Lots of people thought it was a fake game lol Thiugh I do understand why they would think that.

 

[anonpuffs]

To be honest I thought the last trailer was fake gameplay but this looks quite good.

 

[Johnic]

Looks good. Might get on this.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

It's incredible how good it looks for an unknown developer. The next Stellar Blade

 

[Sircaw]

It looked extremely good, the combat, enemies and environments look top-notch.

 

[Yurinka]

Looking great, like Wukong. 2024 will be a great year for PS5 Chinese games.

 

[Infinity]

combat will be dog water. Combat just consists of holding a button and it will do flashy moves.
