About Phantom Blade Zero

Framed for murdering his master, Soul suffers a devastating wound to the heart, leaving him just sixty-six days to live. Alone and hunted, he roams the Wulin to unravel a conspiracy that has ensnared the martial world.

S-GAME calls the setting KungfuPunk: martial arts, cold steel, mechanical prosthetics and crumbling industrial ruins, where traditional Chinese aesthetics meet modern rock music. The publisher describes it as wuxia cinema colliding with punk fantasy.

Built in Unreal Engine 5 with motion capture, and choreographed by martial artists from the golden age of wuxia cinema. S-GAME says the game was tuned to keep most of its visual impact even with ray tracing switched off.

The Wulin is the world the story moves through, and S-GAME has named seven places inside it: Pangzhen Township, Discordance, Memory Flowers, Transcension, Lady of the Veil and Inanis' Dreamscape, alongside the Phantom World itself. Five encounters are officially named as well — Mó Yuan, The Hunt, Seven Stars, Seven Stars Sword Formation and String Puppet. Each has its own page here with its source attached.

Pre-orders opened on August 12, 2026 across all three storefronts, alongside an 11-minute trailer. The recommended PC specification asks for an RTX 3060 Ti or an RX 6700 XT, and adds separate ray-tracing and path-tracing tiers above that. Steam achievements are listed as a feature but no list has been published, and the achievement page still reads as unavailable.

Key facts

What is confirmed about Phantom Blade Zero

The short answers, each one taken from a published source. Where the answer is that nothing has been published, that is the answer.

When does Phantom Blade Zero release?

October 29, 2026, on PlayStation 5, PC and the Epic Games Store. Steam shows October 28 because it displays the unlock in Pacific time. Same moment, not an earlier release.

Launch guide

Does Phantom Blade Zero have a stamina bar?

No. The resource is Sha-Chi. Light attacks and perfect dodges build it, blocking drains it, and a perfect parry does not touch it. Nothing competes with movement for a conventional stamina pool.

Combat and systems

How many bosses and weapons are confirmed?

Liang Qiwei told 4Gamer that there are at least 50 bosses, because every weapon comes from one. Five of them have been named: Mó Yuan, The Hunt, Seven Stars, Seven Stars Sword Formation and String Puppet. On weapons, S-GAME has confirmed more than 30 primary weapons and more than 20 Phantom Edges without publishing a single individual name.

All bosses

What are the Phantom Edges and how do you get them?

A Phantom Edge is taken from a defeated foe rather than bought or found. Qiwei Liang has said each weapon belongs to one boss, which points to a roster considerably larger than the part named so far.

Weapons reference

What are the PC system requirements?

S-GAME publishes a minimum and a recommended specification, plus an SSD requirement, DirectX 12 and Windows 10 or 11 64-bit. The recommended card is an RTX 3060 Ti or an RX 6700 XT, and there are separate ray-tracing and path-tracing tiers above that.

PC performance and requirements

What editions are there and what does the Deluxe add?

Standard is $59.99 US. Digital Deluxe is $69.99 and adds two outfits the publisher labels Deluxe-exclusive, Outfit: Wulin Legend and Outfit: Blood-Steel Form, along with the Digital Artbook and the Digital Soundtrack (OST). Both editions carry the same pre-order bonuses.

Release and editions

What are the pre-order bonuses?

Accessory: Treasure Basin, which raises the Remnant Dust drop rate by 10%, and Outfit: Legacy. The PlayStation Store notes that both are also obtainable through in-game progression, so a pre-order is a head start rather than a locked-in extra.

Pre-order details

What has the publisher not published yet?

No complete boss list, no individual weapon names, no achievement list and no ending list. The one thing that is confirmed is a count: at least 50 bosses, more than 30 primary weapons and more than 20 Phantom Edges. Steam's achievement page still reads as unavailable.

What is and is not published

What locations are in Phantom Blade Zero?

Seven: Pangzhen Township, The Wulin, Discordance, Memory Flowers, Transcension, Lady of the Veil and Inanis' Dreamscape. Pangzhen Township is the one S-GAME has described in any detail, down to perpetual rain, a ray-tracing and DLSS 4 rebuild, and town models scanned from several ancient Chinese settlements.

All locations

Who are the characters in Phantom Blade Zero?

Two. Soul is the protagonist, framed for murdering his master and left with sixty-six days to live after a wound to the heart. Mó Yuan is the guardian whose encounter has been published. No wider cast has been released.
