"Phantom Blade Zero" Pre-Order PV Unveiled, Donnie Yen as Supervisor and Performer

• "Phantom Blade Zero" pre-order PV revealed, featuring an 11-minute real gameplay demonstration.
• Steam & Epic Standard Edition ¥268 / $59.99, Deluxe Edition ¥328 / $69.99.
• PlayStation Standard Edition  HK$328, Deluxe Edition HK$398.

This footage was recorded on a PS5, showing the protagonist Soul riding a carriage to Pang Town, encountering pursuers sent by his former organization along the way. This scene has appeared in previous videos, but this time it directly showcases the chase sequence and the intense close-quarters combat inside the cramped carriage. The mid-video CG cutscene uses dialogue to introduce the various factions and the background of the protagonist, whose life is on a countdown, still striving for the welfare of the world. The fast-paced montage in the latter half highlights different weapons, execution moves, and bosses. Notably, the feature of acquiring weapons and equipment from defeated enemies is still retained.

At the end, the protagonist fights Mo Yuan amidst a sea of flames, revealing that Mo Yuan will be portrayed through facial and motion capture by martial arts superstar Donnie Yen (with a surprise in voice acting as well!). Donnie Yen has served as the supervisor of "Phantom Blade Zero" since 2023, and the Yen Family Martial Arts team has been deeply involved in the game's development.

Pre-order bonuses include accessories and cosmetic items.

Deluxe Edition bonuses include exclusive cosmetics, art book, and original soundtrack.

PC system requirements have also been revealed. The minimum specs are quite friendly, with the slightly more demanding requirement being that the game needs to be installed on an SSD. The development team announced the delay in June to polish the quality and absorb as much optimization pressure as possible.
