Recently, the预热 (pre-release) trailer for "Phantom Blade Zero" was officially released, revealing the new model for the protagonist, Mu Xiaokui. Many players remarked that the aesthetic of female characters in Chinese wuxia games has finally returned to a traditional Chinese style. Mu Xiaokui's image breaks away from Korean-style templates, no longer relying on pointed chins, overly large eyes, or generic, plastic-surgery-like features to define female characters.
Mu Xiaokui's facial features boast distinct Eastern feminine characteristics, with a smooth and natural face shape. Her eyebrows and eyes exude a cool, heroic aura, complemented by makeup textures fitting the wuxia world. This design captures both her youthful charm and her identity as a martial arts hero, leaving many players in awe! Some see echoes of Maggie Cheung's elegance, while others urge Game Science to take notes. Comparisons between the old and new versions of Mu Xiaokui highlight a leap forward in facial modeling quality.
