Phantom Blade Zero Sets October 29 Release, Opens Pre‑Orders

The move marks S‑GAME’s shift from development to a commercial rollout aimed at building momentum before a crowded holiday slate.

Overview

  • Digital pre-orders went live on August 11–12 with an 11‑minute gameplay and story trailer and a Sony State of Play deep dive scheduled for August 17.
  • S‑GAME confirmed a global October 29, 2026 release for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store with Standard ($59.99) and Deluxe ($69.99) digital editions and early unlock bonuses.
  • The studio says core development is complete and the game is gold, noting Phantom Blade Zero was built in Unreal Engine 5 and uses handcrafted interconnected zones rather than a checklist open world.
  • Donnie Yen is credited as a creative consultant and performed facial and motion capture on at least one character, which S‑GAME says informed the game's authentic martial arts choreography.
  • S‑GAME says there is no current exclusivity deal with Sony and an Xbox version remains a possible future port, a point that will affect platform availability as the title competes in the busy fourth-quarter release window.
