Our journey into action design and combat mechanics in PBZ has reached a “deep water” phase. At this stage, creating the action game we envision requires us to move beyond existing game references. Instead, we’ve drawn inspiration from Hong Kong martial arts films of the 1980s and 1990s, alongside the traditional techniques and philosophies of Chinese martial arts.

 

The baseline combat in last year’s demos reimagined classic action games. By those standards, PBZ would already be a polished title. However, with Unreal Engine 5’s advanced visual capabilities and a significant budget, we’ve chosen to push the boundaries even further. This Year of the Snake Trailer represents a glimpse of that effort.
