The developer managed to make fans even more delighted by revealing that it won’t be as punishing as you average souls-like games. 

So, it is more like a God of War game, which is alright with most of the fans. The Phantom Blade director thinks that this game’s success will benefit the Chinese developers, too, as it will set a trend. Due to that trend, more Chinese developers will start to come in and try to meet the bar.

Before, Chinese developers didn’t really have a strong presence in the AAA gaming industry, but now they are starting to develop one. The future releases are going to help them a lot like Stellar Blade and Lies of P managed to help Korean Developers.
