Phantom Blade Zero: From 15-Year Indie Roots to Tencent-Backed Action Masterpiece

S-Game’s upcoming action RPG, Phantom Blade Zero, marks a massive leap from the studio’s 15-year history of smaller, unpolished titles. Backed by hundreds of millions in funding from Tencent, the game features fast-paced combat distinct from typical Soulslikes, featuring 30 primary weapons and a stamina system that rewards aggressive play.
