Overview
- S-GAME announced a 50-day delay after Tuesday's State of Play, moving the release from September 9 to October 29, 2026.
- The studio said the pause will let it complete targeted work on character models and environments and preserve visual impact without relying on ray tracing.
- Phantom Blade Zero remains planned for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, with pre-orders and a new in-game trailer set to arrive this summer.
- S-GAME also confirmed a dedicated 15–20 minute State of Play deep dive later in the summer to show new gameplay, story, and progression details.
- The shift takes the game out of September's crowded release window but places it roughly two weeks before GTA 6, a timing change that could affect visibility and sales.
