In the action-packed world of Phantom World, a unique blend of Chinese mythology, steampunk elements, occultism, and kung fu unfolds. Saul, an assassin from the clandestine organization "The Order," finds himself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy. Mortally wounded, he clings to life thanks to a temporary cure, granting him only 66 days to uncover the true mastermind behind the plot.

A newly released gameplay video showcases an intense, unedited boss fight. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the game boasts next-generation visuals and a combat system heavily influenced by classic Asian martial arts films. Prepare for swift, fluid battles filled with blocks, parries, and dodges, with multi-stage boss encounters adding to the challenge.

A recent survey of 3,000 game developers reveals a significant shift in platform preference. A strong 80% now favor PC development over consoles, a marked increase from 66% in 2024 and a mere 58% in 2021. This surge highlights the burgeoning PC gaming market and a change in industry focus.

The PC's inherent flexibility, scalability, and access to a broader player base are driving this trend. Consoles are losing ground, as evidenced by the current development figures: 34% of developers are working on Xbox Series X|S titles, compared to 38% on PS5 (including the Pro version).
