PS5's Phantom Blade Zero Does What Souls Games Don't with Four Difficulty Options 1

We're all keeping a close eye on Phantom Blade Zero, a PS5 console exclusive that's looking seriously good. After the recent gameplay trailer showing off a unique boss fight and various weapons, we can't wait to see what the rest of this stylish action title has to offer.

Fortunately, some new details have come out from various Chinese outlets.

While the game may look as though it has Souls-like tendencies, it actually appears to be a much more forgiving action RPG. Firstly, Phantom Blade Zero will feature four difficulty options, ranging from Easy to Extremely Hard — something that other many games of this ilk usually forego.

Secondly, it sounds like boss fights will comprise at least two phases, which is fairly typical these days. However, if you happen to die during the latter phase, you won't need to replay the earlier one; you'll respawn at the second phase.

On top of this, information about the game's duration has come to light. It's reportedly between 20 and 30 hours, with an additional 20 hours of side content available.

A separate mode will allow you to re-fight previously defeated bosses, and doing so will apparently lead to even more "hidden" bosses to conquer.

It all sounds good to us. There's still no release date in place for Phantom Blade Zero yet, but hopefully it's not too much further away now.
