Phantom Blade Zero

Phantom Blade Zero is a upcoming action role-playing game with hack and slash elements being developed and published by Chinese game studio S-GAME for Windows and PlayStation 5. The game will feature fast-paced, third-person combat set in a dark, samurai-themed world. The game is a spiritual successor to the game Rainblood: Town of Death.

Gameplay
Phantom Blade Zero is set in the Phantom World, a shared world with other games developed by S-GAME. In Phantom Blade Zero, the player controls Soul, an elite assassin who serves an organization known as The Order. Players can explore a semi-open world split into large connected areas while fighting perilous foes. The combat utilizes a two-button combo system that lets the player unleash stylish attacks and a block that drains stamina. The game's combat has been compared to Dark Souls and other Soulslike games.

Plot
The main character Soul is framed for the murder of The Order's patriarch. Soul gets severely injured in an ensuing manhunt and a mystic healer saves Soul from dying with a magic cure. The cure lasts for 66 days and Soul must find who framed him for murder before his time runs out.
