In a move that has ignited the passion of gaming enthusiasts, a full 60-minute movie showcasing the gameplay of Phantom Blade Zero in ultra-high quality 4K at 60 frames per second has been released on the popular YouTube channel GameV. This first-of-its-kind live demo provides us with a detailed look at what appears to be one of the most powerful action games coming in 2025.
🎮 Phantom Blade Zero: A Chinese-style action role-playing game
Phantom Blade Zero is not just your average action game. It is a combat role-playing experience inspired by Chinese wushu arts, produced and published by S-GAME studio, and officially coming to PlayStation 5 and PC platforms.
The game was designed using the Unreal Engine 5 and features stunning realistic graphics and smooth technical performance, as we saw in the PlayStation 5 Pro documentary, which showed ultra-fast controls, detailed graphics, and impressive combat moves.
⚔️ It's not a “Soulslike” game... it's faster and more violent!
The game director said in an official statement:
“When Phantom Blade Zero was first announced, some people thought it was a ‘Soulslike’ game. But with the release of the combat demos, the audience noticed that the pace is much faster. It's not a Souls game, but more of a Hack and Slash game like Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden.”
This statement places the game in a whole new category: a fast-paced action game with a sophisticated artistic style that combines traditional Chinese cinema with violent confrontations.
🧬 The main character and dark mystery
The story revolves around a mysterious character named “Soul,” a professional assassin working for a secret organization called The Order. Through the new trailer, we see a dark and cinematic atmosphere, where a complex world rich in stories and mysterious characters is built.
📅 Release date and official announcement expectations
So far, no specific release date has been announced for the game. However, according to several reliable sources, the official date is likely to be revealed during the Opening Night Live event at Gamescom 2025, amid growing global anticipation.
