- S-Game says Phantom Blade Zero will offer a true generational leap for action gaming.
- The title is based on Unreal Engine 5 and promises martial arts-inspired gameplay unlike anything else.
- S-Game has also received a much bigger budget following Black Myth: Wukong’s success.
The excitement for Phantom Blade Zero is at an all-time high following yesterday’s trailer. Developer S-Game’s martial arts focus shines through in the latest footage, highlighting well-choreographed action with plenty of finesse and style to boot.
The studio appears more confident than ever in its work and has recently made a bold claim. According to S-Game, Phantom Blade Zero will offer a generational leap for action games.
Why it matters: The action games genre has remained relatively stagnant over the past few years, with most developers pivoting to Souls-like gameplay instead of fast-paced combat pioneered by the likes of Devil May Cry and Bayonetta.
Following the latest trailer, S-Game shared new information about Phantom Blade Zero, revealing various smaller details about the title.
In particular, the studio has dubbed its work a “generational leap in action gaming,” signifying a highly ambitious attempt at breaking into the genre and revolutionizing it for good.
Toward this end, the studio is working with Unreal Engine 5 and promises to meet next-generation standards. One instance of this generational leap was already shown in the new footage, which showcased multiple coordinated attacks from the enemy boss, leading to a seamless flow and combat rhythm rarely seen in other games.
Elsewhere, the studio has also promised smooth and stable frame rates as well as PS5 Pro enhancements to bring its Hong Kong martial arts inspirations to life.
Recent action games like Stellar Blade and Black Myth: Wukong have led to renewed interest in the genre. While these titles stray further from pure character action titles like Devil May Cry, Phantom Blade Zero will certainly benefit from the buzz surrounding the 2024 releases mentioned above.
More details about the game are on the way, and fans are certainly excited to learn more. What are your thoughts on these details? Let’s discuss this in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
