The State of Play dives deeper into Wulin, the war-torn martial arts world where players control the protagonist, Soul.
Beyond the main story, players will encounter civilians, complete side quests, and uncover hidden secrets scattered throughout the world. According to S-Game, some optional quests can unlock entirely new story paths while expanding the lore behind Wulin's political conflicts and martial arts factions.
More Than 50 Weapons and Custom Builds
Combat remains one of Phantom Blade Zero's biggest focuses, and the presentation revealed an extensive arsenal players can customize.
The game includes over 30 main weapons alongside 25 secondary weapons known as Phantom Edges. Weapons can be upgraded, combined with accessories, and tailored into different combat builds ranging from ranged attacks and summoned allies to aggressive melee-focused playstyles.
S-Game also confirmed a flexible reforging system, allowing players to recover upgrade materials and reinvest them into different weapons without permanently locking themselves into one build.
