We’re excited to share that Phantom Blade Zero is now available for pre-order. We’re also sharing a deeper look at the game in a special Phantom Blade Zero gameplay deep dive State of Play broadcast, streaming August 17 at 7:00pm PT / 10:00pm ET | August 18 at 3:00am BST / 10:00am Beijing Time / 11:00am JST. Today’s new extended trailer isn’t enough to cover our intricate gameplay systems, dynamic combat, and the dark wuxia land we call the Phantom World. That’s why our upcoming State of Play takes a much closer look at what you can expect from Phantom Blade Zero.
You may have recognized a familiar face at the end of the pre-order trailer. Donnie Yen has served as creative consultant for Phantom Blade Zero since 2023, bringing his martial arts and action filmmaking expertise to our combat design to help deliver an authentic kung fu experience. He also takes on the role of Facial & Motion Capture Actor for Mó Yuan, our protagonist Soul’s father.
What you saw in the pre-order trailer is only the beginning. Battling enemies atop a speeding wagon and crossing blades with former comrades like The Hunt are just the opening moments of Soul’s journey. The Phantom Blade Zero gameplay deep dive State of Play will introduce never-before-seen characters central to our story while showing just how expressive players can be with their individual builds. We’re looking forward to finally sharing more of what we’ve been working on.
Until then, Phantom Blade Zero launches on October 29, 2026, and is available to pre-order now on PlayStation 5. Pre-ordering Phantom Blade Zero grants early unlock of the Treasure Basin accessory and the Legacy outfit. Both items can also be obtained through in-game progression.
We’re excited to share much more during our special standalone State of Play on August 17 and hope you’ll join us on the PlayStation Twitch and YouTube channels!
