When Phantom Blade Zero was first introduced, this action role-playing game immediately made a strong impression and was compared to the Souls series from FromSoftware.
Subsequently, during the development process and gameplay reveal, Phantom Blade Zero continued to be compared to the Ninja Gaiden series due to its intricate combo mechanics.
The ambition and aspirations of Phantom Blade Zero are even higher as this game studio has the potential to surpass the success of Black Myth: Wukong next year.
The developers of Phantom Blade Zero must acknowledge that there is a significant pressure to succeed, stemming from the overwhelming success of Black Myth: Wukong, which has raised expectations for this new title. However, there are still positive signals emerging in the early stages.
While the promotional trailers for Wukong have received significant attention in China, Phantom Blade Zero has managed to stand out on the global stage. To compare quickly, the promotional video for Wukong has garnered 2.8 million views on its gaming channel and 3 million views on the PlayStation channel. In contrast, the Phantom Blade Zero promotional announcement on the PlayStation channel has reached 5.3 million views. To date, Phantom Blade Zero has already attracted considerable interest from global gaming circles. Several players have shown excitement for its innovative combat style and the combination of rapid combos with evasive maneuvers, allowing the main character to dodge attacks while striking back with precise timing.
Although the release date has not been officially announced, everything that Phantom Blade Zero has showcased so far indicates that this game is poised to be a notable contender in the Chinese and international gaming markets.
