Phantom Blade Zero
Everything S-GAME has confirmed so far about Phantom Blade Zero: Soul's story, combat, difficulty modes, editions, pre-order bonuses and PC requirements. Pre-launch guide — we will update it when the game comes out.
Pre-launch guide
Phantom Blade Zero is not out yet (it launches on October 29, 2026). This guide only covers what S-GAME has officially announced or shown and, where we say so, what the press reported in their previews. Some details may change before launch — we will update and expand the guide when the game comes out.
Wuxia, kung fu and 66 days to live
Phantom Blade Zero is a single-player action RPG by S-GAME, built in Unreal Engine 5. You play as Soul, a warrior framed for murdering his master who is left with a wound to the heart and only sixty-six days to live. Alone and hunted, he roams the Wulin (the martial world) to unravel the conspiracy.
S-GAME calls the game's style “kungfupunk”: golden-age wuxia cinema mixed with punk fantasy, mechanical prosthetics, industrial ruins, traditional Chinese aesthetics and modern rock music. The official site sums it up as “a masterful blend of traditional Wuxia, fantasy and folk horror”.
According to S-GAME founder Soulframe Liang, the game is the “spiritual rebirth” of Rainblood, a project he made in RPG Maker in 2010 that grew into the Phantom Blade series (mostly mobile games).
