Phantom Blade Zero
What kind of game is this? While many PlayStation fans were waiting for anything Ghost of Tshushima to do – a part two or the long-awaited PC port – viewers got to see Phantom Blade Zero.
The action RPG does not have a graphic style comparable to Ghost of Tshushima, but it was able to impress with Asian martial arts. The gameplay shown appears both fast and bloody.
In addition to an extremely talented use of the sword, we also saw some parkour skills with which the played character ran on walls or climbed up pillars that support the building in which the fight was taking place.
How popular is the trailer? The trailer for Phantom Blade Zero collected a total of 355,000 views and is the third most popular game of the evening after Spider-Man 2 and Metal Gar Solid Delta.

The PlayStation event trailer also revealed to us that AC Mirage is set to be released on October 12, 2023.
How popular is the trailer? The gameplay trailer for AC Mirage has almost 251,000 views and is therefore at the bottom of our top 5. However, we’ve only focused on PlayStation Channel numbers for the list. Another 391,000 views would be added to the Ubisoft channel.
