Phantom Blade Zero: PlayStation Exclusive Gameplay Surfaces
In the action-packed world of Phantom World, a unique blend of Chinese mythology, steampunk elements, occultism, and kung fu unfolds. Saul, an assassin from the clandestine organization "The Order," finds himself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy. Mortally wounded, he clings to life thanks to a temporary cure, granting him only 66 days to uncover the true mastermind behind the plot.
A newly released gameplay video showcases an intense, unedited boss fight. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the game boasts next-generation visuals and a combat system inspired by dynamic Asian martial arts films. Prepare for swift, fluid battles filled with blocks, parries, and dodges, with multi-stage boss encounters adding to the challenge.
Recent industry trends reveal a significant shift in developer preferences. A survey of 3,000 game developers indicates a strong preference for the PC platform, with 80% favoring it over consoles. This represents a notable increase from 58% in 2021, reaching 66% in 2024. This surge in PC development highlights a changing landscape in game development priorities.
The PC's inherent flexibility, scalability, and access to a broader audience are driving this trend. Consoles are consequently losing ground, with only 34% of developers currently working on Xbox Series X|S titles, compared to 38% on PS5 (including the Pro version).
