Gamescom LATAM 2026, Latin America's largest gaming expo, concluded in São Paulo from April 30 to May 3. The event set new records: over 400 games, 60+ debuts, 175 exhibitors from 23 countries, 1,100 companies from 59 countries, and 154,000+ visitors — a 17.5% increase from the previous edition.
Coinciding with the China-Brazil Year of Culture, Phantom Blade Zero made its South American debut. Standing alongside major upcoming releases, the game stood out for its distinctive aesthetic and polished gameplay, becoming one of the hottest demo stations. It won Best PC Game and Best Booth — the only title to claim two awards at the event.
Brazil is Phantom Blade Zero's second-largest wishlist market globally, and expectations were sky-high. S-Game brought the acclaimed "Seven-Star Sword Formation" demo, showcasing the game's signature Kung-Fu Punk aesthetic — Chinese martial arts fused with modern visual style and fast-paced combat.
The booth was overwhelmed within minutes of opening each day. Queues wrapped around the exhibition hall, with average wait times exceeding 5 hours. Many players lingered after completing the hour-long demo, unwilling to leave. Overseas media and influencers praised the combat feel and art direction, with some calling it Game of the Year material.
Beyond gameplay, the booth embraced cultural exchange. A local Brazilian lion dance troupe performed alongside a statue of the game's Lion Dance boss — for most attendees, their first time witnessing this traditional Chinese art form, leaving them awestruck.
This marks a key step in Phantom Blade Zero's global expansion and a bridge for cultural exchange — bringing "Wuxia" to the world stage with modern artistic expression.
