S-Game’s newest trailer for Phantom Blade Zero is now live alongside pre-orders, with the Standard Edition costing $59.99 and the Deluxe Edition retailing for $69.99. But that’s not all – the promised “surprise” is that legendary actor Donnie Yen portrays the mysterious masked man, Mó Yuan.
Of course, aside from serving as the character’s facial and motion-capture actor, he’s also been a creative consultant on the title since 2023. Given Yen’s experience in martial arts film and direction, it’s yet another feather in the game’s cap, further enhancing the presentation. He also puts up a mean fight as Yuan, as if we expected anything less.
But that’s only one part of the 11-minute trailer, which also features protagonist Soul fighting assassins while traveling by wagon. It eventually culminates in a boss fight against The Hunt, a foe sent by The Order.
From there, we get to see new weapons, from fists and a massive shield to a buzzsaw, and new bosses, each intricately detailed with extensive movesets. If that wasn’t enough, the various characters that Soul will encounter on his journey, including the old man whose wagon he used, are introduced.
Phantom Blade Zero launches on October 29th for PS5 and PC. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks, especially with a dedicated State of Play still to come.
