PBBGU Unleashes First Trailer, Pre-Orders Now Live!

Publisher Rocket Panda Games has dropped the first gameplay trailer for Phantom Breaker: Battlegrounds Ultimate (PBBGU). The revamped beat-em-up is officially up for pre-orders in Europe, North America, and Japan, with the release set for February 13, 2025.

For those unfamiliar, Phantom Breaker: Battlegrounds Ultimate is a full remake of the original hit from 10 years ago, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 to deliver silky-smooth combat, flashier visuals, and fresh features. Fans will notice the polished sprites and environments bursting with detail, while revamped co-op and Versus Modes allow up to 8 players to battle cross-platform for an immersive and nostalgic experience.

Gameplay isn’t just about looks, though. PBBGU introduces enhanced combat mechanics that feel both tight and responsive. Special attacks are flashier than ever, with combos that are easy to execute yet challenging to master. The game’s pacing has been fine-tuned to keep every fight fresh and engaging.

“Fragmented releases across platforms, countries, and languages have frustrated me as a gamer, we did everything in our power to deliver a seamless online experience.”

For multiplayer fans, the new cross-platform Versus and co-op modes are game-changers. Team up with friends locally or take on challengers worldwide in epic 8-player brawls. Whether testing your skills in Versus Mode or fighting side-by-side in co-op, PBBGU delivers hours of replayability and competition.

Game Features:

PBBGU is packed with new and improved features. Here’s what fans can look forward to:

Revamped Gameplay: Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 for smoother, flashier action.

This anime beat-em-up isn’t pulling any punches. From visual improvements to killer multiplayer features, PBBGU looks like the ultimate experience fans have been waiting for. Adding enemy characters and cross-platform play ensures no two battles feel the same.

For collectors, Europe is scoring a Special Day One Edition packed with physical goodies like collectable cards and DLC skins. If digital is more your vibe, the game’s Digital Edition is also up for grabs.
