Kicking off on August 17 at 7 PM PT \/ 10 PM ET, Sony says that viewers can expect a deep dive into the game ahead of its release on October 29. To set the stage, a new preorder trailer for the game was shown off, revealing action movie legend Donnie Yen and the role he played behind the scenes of the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Yen provided the likeness and motion capture for the character M\u00f3 Yuan, the father of Phantom Blade Zero&#8217;s protagonist, he has also served as a creative consultant on the game since 2023, according to developer S-Game. If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with him, Yen has cemented his status as an icon of cinema with his hard-hitting action movies and slick choreography in projects like Kill Zone, Iron Monkey, Blade 2, and the Ip Man series.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Phantom Blade Zero - Pre-Order Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aOU7KOPGVYU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S-Game added that the State of Play livestream will introduce new characters from the game, as well as a closer look at the buildcrafting that players can utilize to fine-tune their approach to combat. If you&#8217;re planning to watch, you&#8217;ll probably want to switch the comments off, as virtually every Sony platform has been besieged by angry comments demanding that the company reverse its decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/sony-confirms-playstation-disc-production-will-end-in-2028\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">end game disc production<\/a> in 2028. While the backlash to the move has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/playstation-disc-death-sends-the-internet-into-its-physical-media-defense-arc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mostly negative<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/sony-defends-going-digital-but-says-it-understands-players-love-of-physical-ps5-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony is still committed<\/a> to an all-digital future for game releases on PlayStation hardware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally scheduled to launch on September 9, Phantom Blade Zero was delayed to October instead&#8211;most likely a safer move, given the sheer number of high-profile games out next month. Inspired by Chinese Wuxia action movies, the game <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/phantom-blade-zero-dev-compares-the-action-rpgs-level-design-to-dark-souls\/1100-6525296\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">features fast-paced combat<\/a>\u00a0and an imaginative dark fantasy aesthetic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony has announced a new State of Play broadcast for next week, and this time, the spotlight is on Phantom Blade Zero.
