PS5 Exclusive 'Phantom Blade Zero': Unveiling Exclusive Gameplay

In the captivating world of Phantom World, a fusion of Chinese mythology, steampunk, occultism, and kung fu unfolds. Saul, an assassin from the clandestine organization "The Order," finds himself entangled in a perilous conspiracy. Mortally wounded, he clings to life thanks to a temporary cure, granting him only 66 days to uncover the true mastermind behind his predicament.

A newly released gameplay video showcases an intense, unedited boss fight. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the game boasts next-gen visuals and a combat system inspired by dynamic Asian martial arts films. Prepare for swift, fluid battles demanding skillful blocks, parries, and dodges, with multi-stage boss encounters adding to the challenge.

Recent industry trends reveal a significant shift in developer focus. A survey of 3,000 game developers indicates a strong preference for the PC platform. In 2024, 66% favored PC development, a notable increase from 58% in 2021, highlighting the burgeoning PC market.

This preference reflects a change in industry priorities. The PC's flexibility, scalability, and broader reach are increasingly attractive to developers, leading to a decline in console development's relative importance. Currently, only 34% of developers are working on Xbox Series X|S titles, compared to 38% on PS5 (including the Pro version).
