At the TGS 2024 event, S-Game had a playable demo for its upcoming action RPG, Phantom Blade Zero. Not only that but the TGS 2024 demo was running on the PC, giving us PC gamers a first look at the WIP PC version. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
As said, Phantom Blade Zero is an action RPG. The game will feature fast-paced combat and a fictitious world blending Chinese martial arts and steampunk elements.
At first, we all thought that this was yet another Souls game. However, that won’t be the case. Instead, players will have at their disposal various combos to use. They will also be able to stagger their enemies, similarly to Sekiro. So, in a way, it will be a mix of Devil May Cry and Sekiro.
Phantom Blade Zero will be using Unreal Engine 5. Now I don’t know the settings that were used in the TGS 2024 demo. I also don’t know the PC that was used. However, it appears that the game was running smoothly. So, it’s at least good to know that it runs fine on high-end PC systems.
There is currently no ETA on when the game will come out. Still, I’m really hyped about it. From the moment I saw it, I was interested in it. And, thankfully, it keeps getting better and better.
In short, I won’t be surprised if this turns out to be another “Black Myth: Wukong” success story. Everything about it looks great. So, let’s hope that S-Game won’t drop the ball at the last minute.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Finally a game that isnt a souls clone. Also looks better than most western games.
Maybe it will be more like Castlevania and not a souls clone.
Just look at the swordplay on display here. It's pure cinema art. It looks gorgeous. I've always supported Asian culture and big fan of their tradition, passion, and hard work in videogames. I hope they deliver and re-kindle the ps2 era gaming culture again
We need old to be new again.
" I hope they deliver and re-kindle the ps2 era gaming culture again"
same the west is cooked.
Looks dope, just need a good story and it's done.
This game was always shown during Sony presentations previously. I was afraid it was going to be an exclusive.
My god this compression is so bad.
Even at 4K this is a blurry mess.
Blown away by how good the combat animations are.
Yeah, many UE5 games should learn a thing or ten from this.
PC demo
Shows controller
doubt it will have good keyboard and mouse control then.
This game, Wukong, Crimson Desert, Hell is us, Stellar Blade, ( plus the 2 Dark Messiah of Might and Magic clones) Give me Some hope in the future of gaming….ie mainland Asian domination( since capcom and SEnix seem to be going with the DIE virus)

That being said, I do agree the animations look reall fluid.
