Phantom Blade Zero

Phantom Blade Zero Developer on Xbox: “No One Needs This Platform”

According to a recent report from Gameplaycassi, the two upcoming action RPGs Black Myth: Wukong and Phantom Blade Zero which were featured in the recent PlayStation ChinaJoy 2024 event caused some worries about being PlayStation exclusives. The developers responded to this by saying they do not currently have console exclusivity deals. According to the report, Journalists present at the ChinaJoy exhibition were able to communicate with representatives of developers Game Science and S-GAME about exclusivity, and they noted PlayStation provides comprehensive support in promoting the games in China and abroad. Additionally, PlayStation are reportedly helping with marketing for Phantom Blade Zero by supplying demo stations at events.

However, their partnership does not force any publishing requirements, and the developers independently decided on publishing on PC and PlayStation 5 as the platforms are the most promising for release. A Phantom Blade Zero developer who wished to be anonymous was asked why his studio doesn’t want to release an action game on Xbox, to which he responded by stating that the platform is not popular in Asia, it is difficult to develop for and that “nobody needs this platform”. It’s worth noting these claims have no official backing and should be taken with a grain of salt. Phantom Blade Zero will launch for PlayStation 5 and PC. A release date has yet to be announced. Black Myth: Wukong will launch for August 20, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
