Domestic 3A games are expected to bid farewell to the "one-hit wonder era."

On the morning of October 29, another Chinese-made premium 3A game, Phantom Blade Zero, was released. Before that, the game had already attracted great attention from markets at home and abroad. The developer behind the project is Beijing Lingyoufang Network Technology Co., Ltd., and Tencent is one of the company's investors. Data from Xiaoheihe shows that as of October 28, Phantom Blade Zero had topped the global sales ranking on the Steam gaming platform. According to estimates by analytics firm Alinea Analytics, the game's pre-sales had reached 850,000 copies before its official release, meaning that although the game had not yet been officially launched, it had already generated $43 million in revenue. Players' real-money purchases of Phantom Blade Zero are inseparable from the extremely high media praise that was unbanned on October 26. Public information shows that IGN China gave it a perfect score of 10, overseas IGN gave it 9, and Metacritic's average media score of 88 set the global single-player game circle abuzz, setting a new high in media ratings for a Chinese single-player game.
