Phantom Blade Zero Dev Backtracks On Controversial Xbox Statement

Expert Verified By

Xbox Port Isn't Ruled Out After All!

Story Highlight
  • An anonymous S-Game developer recently shared a controversial statement about Xbox.
  • The studio has taken note of the statement and responded that it does not represent the team’s thoughts.
  • It also states that an Xbox port for Phantom Blade Zero is not being ruled out.

After the recent gameplay trailers of Phantom Blade Zero, everyone was shocked by how good the game actually looked. Shortly after, the developer revealed that the title would be easier than your average Souls-like.

This helped S-Game to get a positive reception from the fandom. However, an anonymous developer from the studio recently shared a controversial statement about Xbox, deeming it an unnecessary platform.

Following the controversy, S-Game has responded, and its latest statement attempts to clarify the situation.

Why it matters: Xbox has been criticized for its lack of presence in Asian markets. The previous statement was considered yet another example of this scenario, creating controversy for both the fans and Xbox.

S-Game Nullifies The Controversial Xbox Statement From The Nameless Developer

The studio has tweeted from the official Phantom Blade Zero page saying that these statements do not represent S-Game and that they have not ruled out any platform for the game’s release.

We want to clarify that these claimed statements do not represent S-GAME’s values or culture.

S-Game

The developer reveals that it aims to make games accessible to everyone. While an Xbox release may not have been considered before, this controversy may work in Microsoft’s favor, possibly leading to work on an Xbox version of Phantom Blade Zero.

S-Game said that it is currently working hard on the development and publishing fronts so that the maximum number of players will be able to play the title when it is released in the future.

It’s clear that the developer has been smart with its choice of words here since it could launch the game as a timed exclusive on PS5 and then later release it on Xbox. That said, it’s hard to deny just how controversial the recent statement ended up being.

The source was also a bit fishy from the beginning, but S-Game has now cleared the air. S-Game is looking forward to sharing more development updates soon, and it is excited to release a new world premiere demo at Gamescom.

Perhaps this event will lead to a collaboration between the studio and Xbox since the latter is set to have a major presence.
