At the recent ChinaJoy exhibition, many games were presented to players with a brand new look. The domestic action game "Shadow Blade Zero", which attracted many people's attention when it was open for trial play with its high-quality graphics, dark martial arts style, and fast-paced fighting scenes created by Unreal Engine 5, has brought new developments.



However, Shadow Blade Zero has sparked controversy over a piece of interview content in recent days. In a foreign media report, Xbox was described by the game's development studio S-GAME as "a platform that no one needs."



The new trial content of Shadow Blade Zero released at the ChinaJoy exhibition has given everyone a deeper understanding of the game. At the same time, many foreign media have also interviewed and reported on it. When Brazilian media Gameplayscassi interviewed an unnamed developer of Shadow Blade Zero, they talked about the issue of the game landing platform.



The developer of Shadow Blade Zero Studio S-GAME revealed the reason for the PS5 exclusive. Because their cooperation with the PlayStation game department is indeed very close, PlayStation has provided full support for promoting the game in China and other regions.



Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox have always been compared. Brazilian media Gameplayscassi asked why Shadow Blade Zero was not released on the Xbox platform, which led to the controversial remarks about Xbox mentioned above.



The incident quickly fermented on the Internet and spread to the outside world. As the incident intensified, S-GAME Studio urgently released new updates today to clarify. What is shocking is that the studio does not even know who the person being interviewed is, and does not rule out the possibility of landing on any platform in the future.



Liang Qiwei, the chief creator of S-GAME Studio, questioned on Weibo whether the person being interviewed was really an employee of S-GAME Studio.



As if realizing that their report had caused a stir, Brazilian media Gameplayscassi also gave a new explanation for the situation. The cause of this incident was due to a translation error. What the other party really wanted to say was "there is no platform that is in demand", not "a platform that no one needs".



The matter has come to a temporary end. The official of Shadow Blade Zero has also expressed that there is no exclusive plan for this game. For a new game, it is right to get enough support from players so that more players can experience this game. This game is expected to be released in the fall of 2026, and there is still a long way to go.



I hope that in the future there will be more domestic stand-alone games that can prove themselves in the international market.
