Phantom Blade Zero Unveils New Gameplay Trailer Celebrating the Year of the Snake

Today, S-GAME, the Chinese studio behind the highly anticipated Soulslike game, Phantom Blade Zero, released a stunning gameplay trailer coinciding with the Year of the Snake festivities. The new footage showcases significant visual enhancements and features an intense boss battle against an intimidating group known as the Seven Judgements.

Introducing the Seven Judgements: A New Boss Fight

As per S-GAME’s revelations, the Seven Judgements utilize a strategic sword formation during combat, with one member orchestrating the entire group. Once noble warriors, these formidable foes succumbed to corruption driven by their bloodlust following the Transcension process. In the arena, six Judgements don white robes that conceal their faces, while their leader, Decree, is distinguishable by his blue attire and a faintly glowing hollow visage.

Combat Mechanics: A Multifaceted Challenge

Players will face the challenge of simultaneously combating multiple enemies while seeking an opportunity to target Decree—the formation’s core—as they engage in the initial stage of the boss encounter. This phase introduces several complex mechanics: when Decree absorbs damage, his disciples will sacrifice their own vitality to heal him. Moreover, should the number of disciples drop below three, Decree can utilize his health to revive them. The dynamic creates a shared health pool for all adversaries, compelling players to dismantle the formation strategically.

Phase Two: The Rise of Tyrannical Decree

In the second phase of the fight, three of the Disciples ascend to elevated platforms, employing red strings to control a puppet named Tyrannical Decree against the player. Here, the enemies demonstrate a broader range of motion, swinging in pendulum-like arcs across the arena. Their attack patterns differ significantly from the first phase, demanding precise timing for successful counterattacks. Players are advised to avoid reckless pursuits, as hasty actions can lead to missed opportunities and wasted attacks.

New Weapons: Snake-Themed Arsenal

The gameplay trailer also introduced intriguing snake-inspired weaponry. Two new swords, White Python and Red Viper, make their debut in the first phase. The White Python is characterized by its long blade and sweeping strikes, while the Red Viper is a shorter weapon crafted for precision and speed. Together, they can be utilized in combination, where the longer sword propels the shorter one for a powerful attack. Additionally, the Venomous Softblade, revealed in the second phase, is a versatile weapon adept at countering and deflecting incoming strikes.

Phantom Blade Zero: An Upcoming Adventure

Currently in development for both PC and PlayStation 5, Phantom Blade Zero promises to deliver an exhilarating gaming experience. For a deeper dive into previous builds, you can explore Francesco’s comprehensive preview from Gamescom 2024.
