Phantom Blade Zero pre-orders open August 11: an 11-minute trailer drops too

S-GAME is opening Phantom Blade Zero pre-orders on August 11 at 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET. At that exact same time, the studio is also releasing an 11-minute Phantom Blade Zero trailer. The game is now set to launch on October 29, 2026, after slipping from September 9 so the team could spend more time polishing it.

The studio says the 11-minute showcase should give players a much clearer sense of the combat and visual style that have been driving buzz for months. It also says core development is finished, and the game has moved into its final stretch of content completion and debugging. For anyone worried about another delay, that should help. Phantom Blade Zero is a wuxia action RPG set in the Phantom World, blending Chinese martial arts, steampunk, and dark fantasy. Players step into the role of Soul, an elite assassin framed for murder and given 66 days to expose the conspiracy and get revenge.

Recent hands-on previews have been broadly positive, especially when it comes to the fast, fluid, combo-heavy combat, though S-GAME has pushed back on calling Phantom Blade Zero a straight-up Soulslike. If you’ve been following Phantom Blade Zero closely, this pre-order update is worth a look. The game is coming to PlayStation 5 and PC.
