Phantom Blade Zero New Gameplay
Phantom Blade Zerois one of the major releases of 2025 to look forward to on PC, Steam Deck, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Developed by S-GAME, the game is still in progress and shaping up to be impressive.
The month couldn’t have started any better because, as previously announced, the developers kept their promise and released new gameplay footage to mark the Year of the Snake.
The gameplay focuses on a boss encounter in an environment that feels more akin to Devil May Cry than a typical soulslike. Be sure to check it out—it’s nearly six minutes of action showcasing the game’s flair.
Set in Phantom World, the game unfolds in a universe where all kinds of energies and powers converge. This is where players will experience the journey.
Expect elements of Kung Fu, intricate steampunk-inspired gadgets, occult arts, and other features that defy categorization.
All of this suggestsPhantom Blade Zeromay be the spiritual successor toRainblood: Town of Death,a 2D side-scrolling action game released in 2010 by S-GAME, initially exclusive to China.
Celebrates the Year of the Snake
The video topping this announcement offers a glimpse of snake-themed weapons alongside “lightning-fast combat and precise strikes that capture the essence of classic martial arts films.”
Players take on the role of Soul, an elite assassin working for a powerful organization known as “The Order.” Accused of murdering the organization’s patriarch, Soul is wounded during the ensuing manhunt.
A mysterious healer saves him from death, but only temporarily—the cure will only last 66 days. Soul must uncover the truth behind the conspiracy against him while battling formidable enemies.
Phantom Blade Zeroremains in development forPlayStation 5 and PC, with a release date yet to be revealed, as the Chinese studio is keeping it under wraps for now.
Players will soon be able to explore its semi-open world. The creators opted for “multiple detailed and uniquely designed maps with diverse activities” rather than a continuous open world.
