In the captivating world of Phantom World, a unique blend of Chinese mythology, steampunk elements, occultism, and kung fu unfolds. Saul, an assassin belonging to the enigmatic "The Order," finds himself entangled in a perilous conspiracy. Mortally wounded, he clings to life thanks to a temporary cure, granting him only 66 days to uncover the true mastermind behind his predicament.

A newly released gameplay video showcases an intense boss battle, presented as raw, unedited footage. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the game boasts next-generation visuals and a combat system deeply rooted in the fluidity and dynamism of Asian martial arts cinema. Prepare for swift, engaging battles demanding skillful use of blocks, parries, and dodges, with multi-stage boss encounters adding to the challenge.

A recent survey involving 3,000 game developers reveals a significant shift in platform preference. A striking 80% now favor PC development over consoles. This preference has grown considerably, rising from 58% in 2021 to 66% in 2024, highlighting the PC market's burgeoning appeal. The data underscores a clear change in industry priorities.

The increasing preference for PC development stems from its inherent flexibility, scalability, and access to a broader player base. Consequently, consoles are gradually losing their prominence. Currently, only 34% of developers are actively creating titles for the Xbox Series X|S, compared to a slightly higher 38% working on PS5 games (including the Pro version).
