Phantom Blade Zero is not a true Souls-like

Developers seem to be getting tired of their games being attached to an existing genre. Capcom, for example, wants to set itself apart from Souls-like games with Onimusha: Way of the Sword. And the Japanese publisher is not alone...

Indeed, the CEO of S-GAME made more or less the same statement on X. He specified that Phantom Blade Zero is not a Souls-like or even a traditional action game. The title, expected on PS5 and PC this year, is more akin to an action-RPG, or even a "Wuxia action game", according to its creator.

Phantom Blade Zero will feature numerous cinematic elements, such as leaping across a roof in a hail of arrows, or fighting on the roof of a speeding railcar.
