New Denuvo did not prevent Phantom Blade Zero from being cracked, but this did not stop the game from posting a high player count on Steam

News

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

At the end of October, Phantom Blade Zero was released on PC via Steam and on PlayStation 5 consoles. The PC version was protected using the infamous Denuvo.

The DRM developers recently reinforced it, so the usual hypervisor bypass method no longer worked. However, a hacker under the handle ARTIFACT recently began testing a new workaround solution.

ARTIFACT reported releasing an “experimental crack.” The refined hypervisor allows bypassing the upgraded version of Denuvo, and some pirates have already been able to run Phantom Blade Zero. However, the hacker warns that this solution is still being tested and there is a risk of BSOD.

As before, the Denuvo hypervisor bypass method requires disabling PC security systems.

 

Bypassing Denuvo in Phantom Blade Zero on launch day did not stop the wuxia adventure from S-GAME Studio from posting impressive concurrent player numbers on Steam. It has already surpassed the 450,000 player mark and continues to climb gradually.

Early reviews for Phantom Blade Zero on Steam are “Very Positive,” with an 81% rating. Some users are dissatisfied that the game is (in their opinion) too easy.
