Developer S-Game Invites Players To Master Mystical Wuxia Arts To Combat Forbidden Sciences of Sha-Chi Implants in the First of the Phantom Blade Series.
BEIJING, CHINA – SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 – Emerging developer S-GAME has announced that fast-paced, dark fantasy action-RPG Phantom Blade: Executioners will launch across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, mobile devices and PC this November. Phantom Blade: Executioners will have players join the mysterious Order to investigate the recent killing-sprees by clans that have used the forbidden Sha-Chi body-engineering technique. Select from four different heroes specializing in mystical Wuxia skills and eradicate Sha-Chi enhanced monstrosities from a gorgeous, hand-painted style 2D world.
Phantom Blade: Executioners is the first global release of S-Game’s Phantom Blade series that also includes Phantom Blade Zero, the jaw-dropping martial arts and steam punk title announced for PS5 during the PlayStation Showcase earlier this year. Pre-registration is now available across all platforms on the official website: pbex.s-game.com
Watch the new Phantom Blade: Executioners trailer below:
Phantom Blade: Executioners represents the evolution in S-GAME’s commitment to depicting traditional, Wuxia-inspired martial arts in all of its projects. For over a decade, the studio has spearheaded the incredible popularity of “kung-fu punk” side-scrolling RPGs through franchises like Rain Blood and Phantom Blade. In Phantom Blade: Executioners, S-GAME’s devotion to the soul of Chinese martial arts is underscored by a gorgeous 2D art style reminiscent of a traditional fine-brush Chinese painting brought to life.
As a member of the Order, players must use their Wuxia-infused mastery of martial arts to annihilate human hosts transmogrified by forbidden Sha-Chi engineering techniques. Players must time moves perfectly to perform dynamic skill chain-based combos with a touch of a button. Earn Phantom bonuses throughout the course of the game and stack them on character skills to maximize damage and enhance martial art skills. When the battle is over, pick up valuable equipment to be used in the next fray. Mix and match gear however desired, then head to the procedurally-generated Purge Dungeons for a chance to earn highly coveted Sin Gears.
Phantom Blade: Executioners controls are intuitive and fun but this won’t be a cakewalk. Monstrous bosses totally consumed by Sha-Chi will challenge players to discover the characters, phantom bonuses, equipment and additional perks that best suit their playstyle. When the battle seems insurmountable, enlist the aid of a friendly ally via co-op and attempt to face the Sha-Chi scourge together. Phantom Blade: Executioners also sets the backstory for the hero Soul as the main protagonist in Phantom Blade Zero.
Phantom Blade: Executioners will be available on November 2, and free to download and play on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, mobile devices and PC. Pre-registration is now available across all platforms. For more information, please visit the official website follow on Twitter/X, subscribe on YouTube, and join the official Discord community.

Did you know that PAYDAY 2 is my second most-played game on Steam? Clocking it to nearly 500 hours, I’ve been with it since the release. And I would be the first to admit that it was far from a perfect game. Bad matchmaking, broken stealth, terrible AI on lower difficulties, and so on. But damn, it is fun clearing out a bank with four perfectly synced random players. For all of its flaws, the core gameplay was always beyond amazing. So imagine my excitement when I heard that the sequel is around the corner, with a new story, new heisters, and most importantly – a new game engine!
Story
Several years after the crew’s reign of terror over Washington DC has ended, the crew assembles once again to deal with the threat that roused them out of early retirement. Apparently, someone is after them, and the questions are why and what they want. In order to identify and crush this new threat, the Crew is leaving their Washington DC roots behind them and moving to New York City.
A new location will bring with it new challenges, but also new opportunities for a heister with a plan. And that’s pretty much most of the story we might get for now. Remember that it took almost a decade for the PAYDAY 2 story to be wrapped up with ongoing new heists and updates so I can only say at this point to….stay tuned?
Gameplay
Okay, so I start the game and what do I see? Some lackluster menus and 99% of weapons are locked behind the player level. No big deal, I can still work with that (after all, PAYDAY 2 wasn’t in any better shape on release). But wait, what is this………challenges as the only way to level up infamy, always online, lack of detailed numbers for weapon stats, no safe house, no bot customization, and most importantly of all – no preplanning!
Okay, now I’m seriously mad. And if I were any more upset, this is honestly where I would stop the review. Why? Because it took me more than 3 days to even get into a heist or two (by the way, why do I have to matchmake when I want to play with bots only, makes no sense). Another thing is that the player damage now is beyond pathetic. Even on the lowest difficulty, the only way to quickly dispose of cops is to score a headshot, and for anywhere else on their body it’s going to take you 5-6 bullets on average.
Honestly, playing PAYDAY 3 feels like they forgot ten years of updates that PAYDAY 2 went through. I just don’t understand why every single thing has to be locked behind level or something else. It is so incredibly demotivating seeing a bunch of weapons with only 1 or 2 unlocked, like the game is saying “You like what you see? Well, better get used to playing the game & its challenges in a very specific way that the developers intended if you want to unlock more”.
Visuals
So far, the only thing that makes me feel a bit better about this game is the visual overhaul that came with selecting Unreal Engine 4 instead of the previous Diesel game engine that had noticeable limits in visuals. Now we have better weapon models, better-looking NPCs, better environments, and better enemy design (special shoutout goes to the new Dozer, Cloaker, and Zapper). Overall, the levels now look brighter and with better lighting.
Audio
Upon hearing that Simon Viklund won’t be returning for PAYDAY 3, I was heartbroken. Can’t tell you just how many times I would restart heists on purpose just hoping to get Razormind on shuffle. In any case, after spending some time in this game, I can confirm now that the new artist Gustavo Coutinho is only a suitable replacement, but his tracks give a fresh breath of air for PAYDAY 3. Just try to get “No Rest For The Wicked” out of your head after you finish the heist, it’s near impossible.
Overall
I’d say I somewhat like what this game can be but not the game itself as of right now. It is the version of PAYDAY 3 that I would have expected in 2015. The new engine is good and the heists are interesting as well. However, I really have no patience for waiting for a couple of years (at least!) before this game evolves into an acceptable state. Put this in a cryo sleep and wake me up when I won’t have to spend 5 to 6 minutes queueing for a game before finally being kicked out to a main menu.

Sony Group Corporation and Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) today announced that SIE President and CEO Jim Ryan has made the decision to retire in March 2024 after almost thirty years with the PlayStation business. To support Mr. Ryan in his transition, Sony Group Corporation President, COO and CFO Hiroki Totoki will assume the role of Chairman of SIE effective October 2023. Effective April 1, 2024, Mr. Totoki will be appointed Interim CEO of SIE while he continues his current role at Sony Group Corporation. Mr. Totoki will work closely with Sony Group Corporation Chairman and CEO Kenichiro Yoshida and the management team of SIE to help define the next chapter of PlayStation’s future, including the succession of the SIE CEO role.
Jim Ryan joined Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Europe-based legal entity, Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe (SIEE) — which was then Sony Computer Entertainment Europe — in 1994. Since then, he has held a number of senior positions at the company including President of SIEE, Head of Global Sales and Marketing at SIE and Deputy President of SIE since January 2018, before being appointed SIE President and CEO.
Comment from Kenichiro Yoshida:
“Jim Ryan has been an inspirational leader throughout his entire period with us, but never more so than in overseeing the launch of PlayStation 5 in the midst of the global COVID pandemic. That extraordinary achievement made by the entire SIE team has been steadily built on and PlayStation 5 is on track to become SIE’s most successful console yet. I’m immensely grateful to Jim for all his achievements. Respecting Jim’s decision to finish his long career at Sony leaves me with an important decision regarding his succession given the significance of the Game & Network Services business. We have discussed intensively and have determined the new management structure. We aim to achieve Sony Group’s further evolution and growth through bringing even greater success to the Game & Network Services Business.”
Comment from Jim Ryan:
“After 30 years, I have made the decision to retire from SIE in March 2024. I’ve relished the opportunity to have a job I love in a very special company, working with great people and incredible partners. But I’ve found it increasingly difficult to reconcile living in Europe and working in North America. I will leave having been privileged to work on products that have touched millions of lives across the world; PlayStation will always be part of my life, and I feel more optimistic than ever about the future of SIE. I want to thank Yoshida-san for placing so much trust in me and being an incredibly sensitive and supportive leader.”
Comment from Hiroki Totoki:
“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Jim Ryan for his outstanding achievements and contributions over his 30-year career at Sony, including the great success of launching the PlayStation 5. The PlayStation business managed by SIE is an essential part of Sony Group’s entire business portfolio. I will work with Jim and the senior management team closely to ensure our continued success and further growth. I am also looking forward to creating the exciting future of PlayStation and the game industry together with everyone at SIE and its business partners.”
