Phantom Blade Zero Main Story Length Around 20-30 Hours, Offers Second Phase Boss Respawns
[summaraize]
The Chinese-developed action RPG Phantom Blade Zero has unveiled new details about its gameplay and story length. This highly anticipated hack-and-slash title is set to launch on PS5 and PC, though its release date has yet to be announced. Recent reports from various Chinese sources have revealed the game’s duration and other gameplay details that will surely excite many fans.
According to information from various Chinese articles and interviews, the main storyline of Phantom Blade Zero will last between 20 to 30 hours, with an additional 20 hours of side content. This long playtime shows that the game is more like an action RPG instead of a classic hack-and-slash, which usually has shorter and more combat-focused gameplay.
Phantom Blade Zero Will Feature Four Difficulty Levels
The development team of over 100 members has also confirmed that the game will feature four difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Extremely hard. Like games in the Soulsborne genre, the boss battles will have two phases. If players die during the second phase, they will respawn directly in that phase, making the game a bit easier.
There will also be a mode called “Li Wulin,” which allows players to re-fight previously defeated bosses as many times as they want. This mode will also grant access to hidden bosses, offering an additional challenge for players.
Phantom Blade Zero has garnered significant attention following the success of Black Myth: Wukong, another successful Chinese game. This new title is described as an action RPG with kungfupunk setting set in a dark fantasy world. The protagonist, Soul, is an elite assassin from a group called The Order, wrongly accused of a crime. Saved by a mystical healer, Soul has 66 days to clear his name and uncover the truth.
The game takes place in a semi-open world with thoughtfully designed maps focusing on quality over quantity. Combat features acrobatic, sword-based hack-and-slash mechanics inspired by 90s kungfu films, with action scenes supervised by Kenji Tanigaki, a veteran director of kungfu movie scenes.
Considering all this, Phantom Blade Zero seems to be shaping up as one of the most anticipated titles in the coming years.
