The martial arts action game 'Phantom Blade Zero,' currently in development by S-GAME, will feature an 'Honor System.'

This was confirmed in a developer interview video released on the official Phantom Blade X (formerly Twitter) account on the 16th. In the video, S-GAME CEO Soulframe Liang stated that choices made during side quests can have a meaningful impact on the main storyline.

Liang explained, "Phantom Blade Zero is built on the concepts of 'Wu' (martial arts) and 'Xia' (inner righteousness). While 'Wu' represents the external expression through combat, 'Xia' symbolizes the protagonist's inner dedication to others." He added that as the protagonist travels to different regions and encounters various characters, players will be able to choose how to interact with them.

"He emphasized, "One thing I can say for sure is that helping others can trigger a butterfly effect. If players act honorably, it will certainly influence the protagonist's story of revenge and love in the main plot.""

Meanwhile, 'Phantom Blade Zero' is a martial arts action game being developed by S-GAME using Unreal Engine 5. With a confirmed release date of September 9, 2026, the game follows a mortally wounded swordsman who has only 66 days left to live. As he flees from death, he must uncover a massive conspiracy within the martial arts world, prove his mastery of the blade amidst a chaotic, lawless society, and reclaim his true self and the truth.
