❓ FAQ

When does Phantom Blade Zero come out?
On October 29, 2026. According to the PlayStation Blog, in the US and select regions it is October 28 (because of time zones), which is the date shown on the Steam page. The game was set for September 9, but S-GAME delayed it by about 50 days to polish it.
What platforms is it on?
PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store). No Xbox or Nintendo Switch version has been announced. According to MP1st, the release date trailer said the game will not be on other consoles until at least 12 months after launch.
Is it a soulslike?
S-GAME says no: in 2024 it wrote that “making another soulslike” was never the plan, though it took inspiration from the genre for multi-layered maps and paths. The game is described as a combo-driven hack-and-slash. The press is split: RPGFan calls it “the kung fu souls-like I didn’t know I wanted”, while The Outerhaven classifies it as hack-and-slash action rather than a soulslike.
Does it support Portuguese?
Yes, on Steam it has interface and subtitles in European and Brazilian Portuguese. Voice acting is only in English and Simplified Chinese.
Does it support Spanish?
Yes, on Steam it has interface and subtitles in Spanish (Spain) and Spanish (Latin America). Voice acting is only in English and Simplified Chinese.
How long is it?
S-GAME has not announced an official length in the sources we checked. We will update this when the game comes out.
Does it have multiplayer?
No. Steam lists it as single-player only.
Is the 66-day limit a timer?
No. According to the director, in RPGFan's preview, the 66 days are “purely narrative framing” and do not affect your first playthrough.
Is there a public demo?
We found no official announcement of a public demo. The demos so far were played by the press at events.
Which edition should I buy?
The Digital Deluxe ($69.99 on Steam) adds two outfits, the artbook and the soundtrack. According to the official site, those outfits can also be earned in-game, so the Standard ($59.99) gives you the whole game.
What is Donnie Yen's role?
He has been creative consultant since 2023 and provides the face and motion capture for Mó Yuan, Soul's father.
Is this guide official?
No. It is a fan guide, not affiliated with S-GAME, written before launch. We will expand it when the game comes out.
