Phantom Dust for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC is a re-release of the original Xbox classic, now returning with full Xbox LIVE support and a host of enhancements, including Xbox Play Anywhere, cross-device multiplayer, achievements, and 16x9 presentation. It features new gameplay enhancements including multiplayer starter decks that let you jump straight into multiplayer, improved frame rate, and adjustments to overall game balance. Experience the cult classic that’s kept a passionate community playing to this day and a unique multiplayer experience that’s never been duplicated.
Phantom Dust is a blend of third-person arena combat and collectible card game. Collect 300 unique skills and build your arsenal of powers, taking them into battle online with up to three other players. You’ll compete in highly-destructible arenas and unleash a wide array of powers and tactics to defeat your enemies, including orbital particle cannons, flaming swords, barriers of ice, flight, cloaking, attack reflection, and many other abilities.
The game features over 15 hours of solo player content through an engaging story that explores the ideas of isolation and faith, and full Xbox Live multiplayer support for up to four players in a variety of match types.
Phreaker of Phantom Dusted is largely to thank for the revival of PD. He kept the community going and brought us all together.
In the spoiler you will find the old post, with a little bit of history regarding the tough path this game has had to take.PHANTOM DUSTED POST: PD RETURNING IN 2017!
[qoute]By Michael | June 14, 2016 (PHANTOM DUSTED)
Microsoft’s Shannon Loftis announced that Phantom Dust will be returning in 2017 to Xbox One and Windows 10! In an interview with Geoff Keighley she said, “This is actually the original brought into the modern era. We are using the original assets from the Phantom Dust that was release by Microsoft Japan in 2003. We are updating some key parts of it, we are updating it with modern Xbox Live.” She went on to say that some draft “ready” decks (arsenals) will be available from the start so that you can engage in multiplayer right away.
New Features for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC:
• Xbox Live Arena support integrated
• Play on Windows 10 PC or Xbox One seamlessly with cross-saves, retaining all of your progress and in-game items between both platforms.
• Cross-device play lets you play against friends regardless of platform.
• Full Xbox Live feature set of the original game, including downloading top player’s arsenals to practice against them – a feature not available since the original’s release!
• Looking for Group on Xbox Live so you can find and connect with other gamers more easily than ever.
• Multiplayer starter arsenals are included. Jump right into multiplayer with a better selection of skills!
• The Multiplayer skill shop is no longer tied to solo player progression. All skills are available for purchase immediately for multiplayer use.
• Improvements to game balance and frame rate

We’re working on some improvements beyond what’s been called out, but because we’re very sensitive to maintaining the balance and feel of the game, we’ll see how they turn out before we promise them. Worst case, you get perfect PD at solid frame rate. Best case… it’s going to be better than that.[/quote]
KOTAKU REPORTS PHANTOM DUST STUDIO 'DARKSIDE GAMES' CLOSES
Well, according to Microsoft the game is still coming. Well, I doubt we will see it this year as hoped, though. I can wait. Hopefully it somehow becomes a better game regardless of the unfortunate events rather than falling into development hell. Monthly game nights organized by myself are on a hiatus unless someone takes over. I'm sure when I move to a new residence and there is more PD news I will start them up again.
From PhantomDusted.com:
Back in September Adam Isgreen tweeted, “New Palace looks amazing.”, referring to the Palace stage of Phantom Dust. Ever since, Phantom Dust fans have been hoping for a screenshot, to see for themselves what the game would look like. Until now, all that had been shown was a CG teaser trailer announcing the game at E3 2014. Earlier this week we learned that Darkside Game Studios will unfortunately no longer be involved with the game, but Microsoft says the game remains in development.
Maybe these images that surfaced will brighten Espers’ hopes for Phantom Dust’s future.

Want to join in? Check out the revival campaign and monthly game nights! Xlink Kai really comes alive with plenty of Phantom Dust. We even played with a developer working on the reboot (who has since left the studio )!

The year was 2013. It was June. I watched E3 press conferences from the big 3. I laughed at Microsoft, praised Sony.
6 months passed. Rumors started going around about a new Phantom Dust. I joined in the revival campaign and we have been playing Phantom Dust for the original xbox/360 on XLink Kai.
Now Microsft at E3 2014 announced a new Phantom Dust! It seems to be a remake/reboot right now, but details will surface over time.
I guess I'm buying an Xbox One!
