Very stylish, generating huge buzz since its trailers, set in a feudal China universe.
Phantom Blade Zero is #4 in the HypeTracker ranking, steady this week, with 69.7 M measured views, including +505 k over the last 7 days. Its hype comes 77% from official and media trailers.
This week in the comments
This week is dominated by a tight Spanish-speaking mobilization around physical media, almost drowning out otherwise enthusiastic reactions to the recent trailer; pure hype (GOTY talk, anticipation, GTA 6 comparisons) remains strong but is outweighed in volume by the disc wave.
The "No Disc No Buy" wave dominates volume
Roughly 30% of this week's comments, heavily concentrated on Aug 28 and in Spanish, repeat variants of "no disc no buy." Many also threaten to leave PlayStation after 2028.
Pure hype stays massive despite the noise
About 20% of comments express simple excitement ("so hyped," "GOTY 2026"), often directly compared to GTA VI or Onimusha.
A fresh design question: materials and checkpoints
Several players ask, for the first time this week, precise questions about respecing skill points and Estus-like healing management, a sign of interest going beyond pure hype.
New worry: the game will die fast
An isolated but noted comment ("too bad this game will die in 3 weeks") introduces a new worry about the game's longevity, absent from earlier periods.
Top reactions and controversies
The physical disc wait, a constant obsession
ControversySince the digital-only format was announced in August, a large and vocal chunk of the community keeps hammering "no disc no buy," threatening to boycott Sony. Others call the fight out of touch and hypocritical.
"Finally, not a Souls-like"
Dominant takeA recurring relief runs through the whole corpus: commenters praise a fast DMC/Ninja Gaiden-style hack-and-slash rather than another Souls clone, expressing fatigue with the genre.
Donnie Yen changes everything
Dominant takeThe reveal of Donnie Yen's involvement (actor and martial consultant) triggers an immediate wave of enthusiasm and spontaneous pre-orders, compared to the Keanu Reeves effect on Cyberpunk 2077.
More hyped than GTA VI: a recurring comparison
ControversyMany comments claim to anticipate this game more than GTA VI, while a minority finds the comparison absurd or the game overrated next to Rockstar's juggernaut.
The IGN reviewer who won everyone over
Dominant takeThe October 2025 IGN preview sparks a flood of praise for the narrator/journalist, seen as passionate and rare in gaming journalism, almost overshadowing the game itself in the comments.
DLSS5 and AI rejection praised as a strong stance
Dominant takeThe announcement of rejecting DLSS5/generative AI tech is widely applauded as a rare artistic stand against Western industry practices.
