About
Framed for the death of his master and left with a ruined heart, Soul has sixty-six days to live. Alone and hunted by his former comrades, he moves through a world of shifting loyalties and silent blades — determined to unravel the conspiracy that has condemned him. Rain mixes with blood, mercy entangles with vengeance. Soul's journey is one of love, hate, and the fragile search for what it means to have a heart.
What is happening now
Phantom Blade Zero is an action RPG combining hack-and-slash combat with adventure elements, set to release on PC and PlayStation 5 on October 29, 2026. Developer S-Game has confirmed the game has gone gold, with pre-orders opening in August across Steam, PSN, and Epic Games Store at discounted rates. The title has generated significant anticipation ahead of launch, reportedly topping Steam wishlists for 2026. S-Game has progressively revealed more details through extended trailers and an 11-minute gameplay video, while also disclosing official PC system requirements. A notable development was the revelation that martial arts filmmaker Donnie Yen has served as creative consultant since 2023 and appears as an actor in the game, lending authentic choreography expertise to its combat design.
