Phantom Blade Zero New Trailer

Phantom Blade Zero also received a new extended trailer on Tuesday, confirming pre-orders for the game. The action title can now be pre-purchased on PlayStation Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

The pre-order trailer also confirmed that Hong Kong actor and martial artist Donnie Yen had served as creative consultant for Phantom Blade Zero since 2023. The filmmaker aided the game's combat design with his martial arts and action filmmaking expertise to deliver an “authentic Kung-fu experience,” S-Game said.

The 11-minute pre-order trailer showed fast-paced melee combat, elaborate action set pieces, and a thrilling boss fight atop a speeding wagon.

The upcoming gameplay deep dive will reveal more details about Phantom Blade Zero's gameplay systems, dynamic combat, and the dark wuxia setting, called the Phantom World. The State of Play show will also introduce new characters and explain custom builds that players can utilise to suit their playstyle.

Phantom Blade Zero will launch on PC and PS5 on October 29, 2026. The game is available to pre-order in Standard and Digital Deluxe editions, priced at Rs. 4,299 and Rs. 5,199, respectively. Pre-ordering Phantom Blade Zero will unlock the Treasure Basin accessory and the Legacy outfit early for players. These items can also be obtained through in-game progression.
