On January 21, 2025, developer S-GAME released Phantom Blade Zeros Year of the Snake gameplay trailer to celebrate the start of the Chinese zodiac calendar year. The unedited boss fight was as creative as it was fluid, and it immediately drove two points home: dark, grisly combat is here to stay, and Black Myth: Wukong was just the tip of the iceberg in Chinese tradition and culture. Thats saying something since theres a lot of content that Phantom Blade Zeros developer is still holding close to its chest.
