New Phantom Blade Zero Trailer Released, Demo on the Way

The upcoming action-RPG Phantom Blade Zero from developer S-Game has released a new trailer dubbed the 'Year of the Dragon Special Trailer: Rain and Blood', showcasing an animated swordfight and some PlayStation 5 gameplay footage. Fans of the genre can anticipate a playable demo coming later this year. Phantom Blade Zero promises to deliver intense third-person sword combat where players take on the role of an assassin named Soul, who is on the run after being falsely accused of murder by a powerful organization known as The Order. Soul's journey is against the clock due to a medicine that works for only 66 days. S-Game, known for their 2010 game Rainblood: Town of Death in China, describes Phantom Blade Zero as a spiritual rebirth and the game they’ve always wanted to make. The title is currently slated for release on PlayStation 5 and PC, with no specific launch date announced.

Phantom Blade Zero is an action-RPG where you play as Soul, an assassin who works for a mysterious organization called The Order. After being framed for murder, Soul must fight against powerful enemies and unravel a conspiracy before a life-sustaining medicine runs out in 66 days.

Phantom Blade Zero's roots can be traced to S-Game's earlier title, Rainblood: Town of Death, which was a success within China and laid the groundwork for the thematic elements to be carried over into this new title. By focusing on a narrative-driven experience and combining it with engaging combat, the developer aims to offer an improved and more personal rendition of their creative vision.
