Extended Gameplay of Phantom Blade Zero Reveals Epic Combat and Soulslike Influences

SGames recently released a new gameplay video for Phantom Blade Zero, the upcoming Chinese Soulslike title for PC and PS5. Showcased during last weekend's SParty 2025 community event, the video highlights the "Seven Star Sword Formation" phase, where players confront four distinct enemies in quick succession. The segment opens with Wan Jun, a formidable figure wielding a copper staff. Red Wraith and the Chief Disciple of the Seven Stars follow, both showcasing dynamic combat styles. The video culminates in a confrontation with Fallen Hope, who exhibits a strong Souls-like influence. His projectile attack is particularly reminiscent of a notorious Elden Ring glitch in Caelid. This latest glimpse of Phantom Blade Zero reveals a blend of Soulslike elements inspired by Sekiro, Wo Long, and even Devil May Cry, emphasizing an elegant art style and a complex combat system. While SGames has not yet announced a definitive release date for Phantom Blade Zero, the developer is targeting the second half of 2026.
