Interacting with them and completing some of the side quests might even open up new story paths and deepen your understanding of this perilous martial world. Secrets are hidden throughout the Wulin, waiting to be uncovered as you learn the truth behind the events that set the story of Phantom Blade Zero in motion.<\/p>\n<p>While exploring the Wulin, you\u2019ll unlock more than 30 main weapons, plus 25 secondary weapons known as Phantom Edges. You can upgrade your weapons and pair them with different accessories to create the build you want. Want to take down enemies from afar? Use summons to assist you in battle? You\u2019ve got plenty of options. Express yourself freely through combat as you fend off assassins, those who have succumbed to darkness, and martial arts masters who plot against you. Defeating some enemies expands your arsenal, giving you even more ways to take on challenging foes. Don\u2019t worry if you second guess a weapon you\u2019ve upgraded or want to switch up your build. You can always reforge it, get those materials back, and reinvest them in another.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Our range of difficulty options lets new players and even the most experienced action game veterans tailor the experience to their liking. If you\u2019d simply like to enjoy the story, Wayfarer mode is for you. But if you want to ramp up the challenge, try Hellwalker to face more advanced and adaptive enemy intelligence or take on Sixty-Six Days mode, which isn\u2019t for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n<p>To capture the spirit of authentic kung fu, Donnie Yen serves as our Creative Consultant while also bringing M\u00f3 Yuan to life through facial and motion capture. Through his likeness, performance, and creative guidance, Donnie has helped bring the essence of kung fu cinema into your hands. This has been one of the most exciting parts of developing Phantom Blade Zero, and we\u2019ve been dying to share it for a long time. Crossing paths with M\u00f3 Yuan will keep you on your toes.<\/p>\n<p>Phantom Blade Zero\u00a0will launch for the PlayStation 5 and PC via\u00a0Steam\u00a0and\u00a0Epic Games Store\u00a0on October 29.<\/p>\n<p>A life-long and avid gamer,\u00a0William D&#039;Angelo\u00a0was first introduced to VGChartz in 2007.
