This whole trailer is a huge shoutout to the duel between Nameless and Long Sky from the Jet Li film, Hero.

[@danielponcianodiaz176]

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed!

[@sergioking4908]

Hero is a timeless classic 👶

[@chidorislayer9000]

its actually very reminicent of alot of chinese martial arts fights but hero is one of the best!

[@ayotundeosuntola7735]

Yeah! Kinda reminds me of Jet Li's Sword Man 2 too

[@Zcorck]

Long Sky was played by Donnie Yen. Jet Li strongly recommended to the director that bringing in Donnie Yen would be the perfect way to start off the movie.

[@PhantomBladeZero]

Thanks everyone for loving PBZ, may everybody a happy Chinese New Year of Dragon!

[@bonafide227]

It doesn’t matter what year this game comes out it will be game of the year no matter what

[@tovopro]

I'm glad Chinese Folklore is becoming the next thing in Video Games. There're ton of awesome stories (even inspired ones to tell) and if they manage to even capture 20% of the amazing swordplay in their gameplay from the beautiful Feudal Chinese Operas, y'all in for a real treat.

💯💯💯Agree! 👍👍👍

[@divineboi97]

And it’s going to have a playable demo yeah this is going to be 🔥 🔥🔥

[@average_life_enjoyer1588]

Every Demo is playable

[@LeoKRogue]

Some demo(nstration)s are videos / footage, ie hands-off gameplay demos. Since the word can refer to both, a playable demo being confirmed is a pretty important distinction.

[@Cheekis]

this is legitimately the greatest anime fight i’ve ever seen

Wow thats definitely got me hyped 😮

[@ReblazeGaming]

Love the storytelling of the animated trailer. Reminds me of the Arcane Ekko vs Jinx bridge fight as well lol. Seems that these two swordsmen used to spar together as kids then fought alongside each other, judging by the painterly action, and are they're enemies for some reason.

[@Geminimerc]

What about the PB: Executioner's release? When are we gonna hear about that?
