That's not all, as Sony has just announced a special State of Play broadcast featuring a deep dive into Phantom Blade Zero gameplay. It will air on Monday, August 17 at 7:00 PM Pacific Time / 10:00 PM Eastern Time | August 18 at 3:00 AM BST / 10:00 AM Beijing Time / 11:00 AM JST.
In a brief post published on the official PlayStation Blog, S-GAME founder and game director Soulframe Liang hyped up the broadcast:
What you saw in the pre-order trailer is only the beginning. Battling enemies atop a speeding wagon and crossing blades with former comrades like The Hunt are just the opening moments of Soul’s journey. The Phantom Blade Zero gameplay deep dive State of Play will introduce never-before-seen characters central to our story while showing just how expressive players can be with their individual builds. We’re looking forward to finally sharing more of what we’ve been working on.
As a reminder, Phantom Blade Zero will launch on October 29 for PC and PlayStation 5.
