Aside of the skills, it also had enough info about the story and characters to give a proper first impression to people knowing nothing about the game. This site contained a digital version of the skill book that got included with the Japanese edition of Phantom Dust's limited edition. The former Phantom Dust fan site, titled 'Phantom Dusted', has shutdown their site which can currently only be accessed by sites like the Wayback machine.
The gameplay stood out as something unseen in any game and still, 18 years later, something that hasn't been replicated by any game developer.īoth gameplay and narrative elements, to this day, remain not all that well-documented on the entire premise of Phantom Dust's story and gameplay. With less than 6.000 copies sold during it's initial launch month in Japan, the game later on became a cult classic amongst JP and NA Xbox fans due to it's mysterious tones of isolation, personality and elements of faith and belief. Majesco took that role as publishere and re-released the game one year later in North America.
Microsoft published Phantom Dust only in Japan and originally had no plans to launch in the west. I know the people at Xbox Game Studios has it in them to make a proper and faithful sequel to this cult classic.The game directed by Yukio Futatsugi of Panzer Dragoon fame under his time at Microsoft Studios Japan. I hope we get to see the day that a new Phantom Dust gets revealed. The IP had and still has a lot of potential. In the upcoming generation with a service like Game Pass, which allows you to focus on all sorts of genres including more niche –focused audiences. The Xbox Game Studios Publishing team has shown enthusiasm for this IP in the past. A Phantom Dust (reboot/2) that builds upon the original combat mechanics and adds refinements such as better animations, tighter controls and additional game modes would make me play nothing else (besides Gears, don’t worry i’m still a Gears fan to the end). I’m hoping, from the bottom of my heart, that we ever see this IP make a return via a new game that builds upon what made the original game so good. Some of these arts are pure wallpaper material and i recommend you to check them out. And that’s not all, unreleased concept arts are being used as the achievement arts. On Xbox One and Windows 10, the original game is available for free: h ttps://The re-release even features my favourite achievement list to date. It’s a shame that the project had to be put on hold for a while, but there’s still a chance for you to try out this cult classic. Well in case you didn’t know, the IP was supposed to be brought back after an initial announcement back at E3 2014. So “what now?” you might be asking yourself after reading this article.
