Just five days after pre-orders began, sales of the game, according to game director Qiwei "Soulframe" Liang, "significantly exceeded all expectations" of the developers.
According to Liang, audience support became a "vote of confidence" for the team, and the developers will make every effort to release a worthy game.
Additional attention to Phantom Blade Zero was recently drawn by an extended trailer and a fresh State of Play release, in which S-Game detailed the combat system, progression, weapons, and the structure of the game world.
One of the most discussed features of the project was the participation of Donnie Yen. The actor not only acts as a creative consultant but also plays the role of Mo Yuan — the father of the main character, Soul. At the same time, the developers have prepared an unusual surprise: the character will turn out to be a hidden boss.
You can only meet Mo Yuan after completing a series of explorations and challenges. Judging by Liang's words, battling him will be a particularly serious challenge.
