The highly anticipated wuxia action RPG Phantom Blade Zero is now available for pre-order. Developer S-GAME has confirmed that the game’s development is complete and has set the official release date.

When did pre-orders open?

Pre-orders went live on August 11 at 7:00 PM PT / 10:00 PM ET, alongside an all-new 11-minute gameplay trailer. S-GAME announced that this trailer features new story details, characters, and combat scenes, plus “something unexpected” that fans believe could be a special collaboration.

Release date and delay

Phantom Blade Zero was first announced at The Game Awards 2025 with a planned release date of September 9, 2026. In June, S-GAME postponed the launch to October 29, 2026, aiming to deliver a polished experience from day one. The studio explained that this extra time will be used to refine the game before launch rather than patching issues after release.

Price and editions

The pricing is considered quite reasonable compared to other big-budget releases, especially since the game is launching close to GTA 6, which has been positively received by players.

Pre-order bonuses

Players who pre-order will receive two early unlock rewards:

• Treasure Basin Accessory: Increases Remnant Dust drop rate by 10 percent, offering a gameplay advantage beyond just cosmetic value.
• Legacy Costume: A purely cosmetic outfit reward.

S-GAME states that both rewards will also be obtainable through normal gameplay progression, so players who don’t pre-order won’t miss out entirely.

Available platforms

Phantom Blade Zero will launch on PlayStation 5 and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store). There’s no announcement yet for Xbox Series X|S, suggesting the game won’t be available on that platform in the near future.

What’s the story?

You play as Soul, a warrior accused of murdering his master and given only 66 days to live. Hunted by former allies, Soul embarks on a journey of revenge, survival, and unraveling a greater conspiracy. Actor Donnie Yen has been involved as a creative consultant since 2023 and will voice the character Mo Yuan in the game.
