Phantom Blade: Zero on kuin fantasiamaailman John Wick

Summer Game Festin humussa Gamereactor pääsi kokeilemaan Phantom Blade: Zeroa, ja tilaisuus koitti myös haastatella pelin ohjaajaa Soulframe Liangia. Jo aiemmin on raportoitu siitä, että liikettä on peliin tallennettu oikeilta kung fun taitajilta.

Tarinasta ei sen sijaan paljoa kerrottu, mutta jotain kuitenkin. Päähenkilöllä on elinaikaa jäljellä 66 päivää, ja se liittyy myös pelimekaniikkaan tavalla, jota ei kerrottu. Päähenkilöä verrattiin John Wickiin.

Phantom Blade: Zero on työn alla PC:lle ja Playstation 5:lle.

"Our hero is a tragic hero with very limited days in his life for some reason. So this 66 days left thing has some relationship with game mechanics but I wouldn't say here and now, I'll leave it as a secret. The story will be very dramatic because every single choice, every single encounter ... the love and revenge and everything will become so dramatic and so urgent because you don't have so much time left. You have your own business to deal with you have something left, you haven't finished something. You feel very urgent, you're in a hurry to do something before you die."

"The main character is a dark hero. He has something dark inside him and he was the best killer in the organization but now he has rebelled from the organization. So he has been chased down by his old colleagues so he's kind of like John Wick or something like that but he's hunted down by the old colleagues and also the old enemies. All the parties want to kill him so he's just trying to survive and do his business before he dies."
