We may never see a Bloodborne remaster or PC port but there is no need to feel disheartened as this upcoming title is guaranteed to fill that void.
Set to arrive on PlayStation 5, Phantom Blade Zero is an upcoming RPG built on Unreal Engine 5 and is set to rival titles such as Bloodborne when it comes to combat.
Check out first official gameplay for Phantom Blade Zero below!
Although there was not much information known about it, that all changed at Gamescom earlier this week.

Thanks to a new 8-minute gameplay trailer, we now have our first look at its dazzling combat and it seems as though blocking and parrying will be an important feature to master.
Following the recent success of Black Myth: Wukong, this second new edition to the Chinese gaming industry is expected to be a hit.
However, it may be a while as rumours suggest Phantom Blade Zero will not be expected to hit the market until at least 2026.
When it does, we can expect quite the epic story.

"Phantom World, the universe that the game is set in, is a universe where many kinds of powers converge,” the CEO of S-Game, known as 'Soulframe' Liang, posted on the PlayStation Blog.
"You’ll find Chinese kung fu, intricate machines reminiscent of steampunk, arts of the occult, and intriguing stuff that doesn’t quite fit into any of these categories."
Not only that but we also gained some more knowledge about Phantom Blade’s story.
"In Phantom Blade Zero, you’re Soul, an elite assassin serving an elusive but powerful organisation known simply as 'The Order'.

"He was framed for the murder of The Order’s patriarch and gravely injured in the manhunt that ensued."
However, when a mystic healer saves his life, Soul is given only 66 more days to live so he must fight to find the cure before it is too late.
Likened to titles such as Bloodborne, Elden Ring and other FromSoftware titles, this is not one to miss when it releases in the future for the PlayStation 5.
