With the rising popularity of games like Heartstone and CCG-focused PC games, this could've been an opportunity for Microsoft to take an original twist at this blooming genre. Phantom Dust would eventually see a return at E3 2014 under the form of a reboot developed by the unknown studio Darkside Games. Aside of the skills, it also had enough info about the story and characters to give a proper first impression to people knowing nothing about the game.

This site contained a digital version of the skill book that got included with the Japanese edition of Phantom Dust's limited edition. The former Phantom Dust fan site, titled 'Phantom Dusted', has shutdown their site which can currently only be accessed by sites like the Wayback machine. The gameplay stood out as something unseen in any game and still, 18 years later, something that hasn't been replicated by any game developer.īoth gameplay and narrative elements, to this day, remain not all that well-documented on the entire premise of Phantom Dust's story and gameplay. With less than 6.000 copies sold during it's initial launch month in Japan, the game later on became a cult classic amongst JP and NA Xbox fans due to it's mysterious tones of isolation, personality and elements of faith and belief. Majesco took that role as publishere and re-released the game one year later in North America.

Microsoft published Phantom Dust only in Japan and originally had no plans to launch in the west.
