Phantom Blade Zero Release Date
The Phantom Blade Zero development team has confirmed that the game is in its early stage of development and according to them, it will take at least 2 years to develop.
With this, we can expect games like this to normally take too much time to develop and they usually take more time to complete the game than they expect.
So, according to us, the Phantom Blade Zero will be released in late 2026 or early 2027.
Now if you think it is too long for a game to develop then it is not true that 3-4 years to develop a game is normal, nowadays we can see that games take up to 8-10 years to develop, so compared to that 3-4 years for a game to develop is pretty normal time.
Phantom Blade Zero Story
While answering the Q&A of the Phantom Blade Zero the team described the game’s inspiration and what can expect.
They have said that the inspiration for the Phantom Blade 0 is traditional Chinese wuxia novels, the 70s – 90s Chinese films, and Japanese manga which includes Berserk, Vagabond, Claymore, etc.
Also, the John Wick movie series is also one of the biggest inspirations where the main character hunts down other colleagues or his enemies.
So, seeing the game inspirations we can expect what the Phantom Blade Zero Story would be, according to us the story of Blade Zero will seen around the main character which is shown in the game trailer.
The game could start with the story of the protagonist’s past where some people or monsters have done something wrong to his family and he is state to take revenge against them.
In his revenge journey, he could come across different monsters and characters who he has to defeat in order to reach his final goal.
In between this journey, he could have to achieve new skills and weapons that he has to earn by defeating different boss fights and normal enemies.
Overall the Phantom Blade Zero game stories would be a revenge-taking journey of the protagonist from the monsters and other bosses.
