Phantom Blade Zero pre-orders went live on August 11, 2026 at 7:00 PM PT, and the game is set to launch on October 29, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and PC. Developer S-GAME confirmed the opening alongside an 11-minute trailer covering story, characters, bosses, and combat. Two editions are available, prices start at $59.99, and there are pre-order bonuses worth knowing about before you commit. Here is everything confirmed so far.
What editions are available for Phantom Blade Zero?
Phantom Blade Zero comes in two digital editions: Standard and Digital Deluxe. The difference between them comes down to cosmetic and digital extras, not gameplay content or early access.
Neither edition includes early access to the full game. The $10 premium on the Digital Deluxe gets you two exclusive outfits, a digital artbook, and the official soundtrack. If cosmetics and bonus media matter to you, it is worth the extra cost. If you just want to play the game, the Standard Edition covers everything.
Standard Edition
At $59.99, the Standard Edition includes the complete base game plus the two pre-order early unlock items shared across both editions. There are no gameplay limitations compared to the Deluxe version.
Digital Deluxe Edition
At $69.99, the Digital Deluxe Edition adds the Wulin Legend and Blood-Steel Form outfits, both listed as exclusive to this edition on official store pages. The digital artbook and soundtrack round out the package.
What are the Phantom Blade Zero pre-order bonuses?
Pre-ordering either edition unlocks two items early:
- Treasure Basin (accessory): Increases the drop rate of Remnant Dust by 10%.
- Legacy (outfit): A cosmetic outfit for the protagonist Soul.
Both items are obtainable through normal in-game progression after launch, so they are not permanently gated behind pre-orders. Pre-ordering simply means you have them from day one rather than earning them later.

What kind of game is Phantom Blade Zero?
Phantom Blade Zero is a single-player action game built on Unreal Engine 5. S-GAME describes its setting as a fusion of traditional Chinese martial arts, machinery, fantasy, and folk horror, a style the studio calls Kungfupunk.
You play as Soul, a warrior framed for the murder of his master and left with only 66 days to live. Hunted by former allies, Soul works to expose the conspiracy while fighting off assassins and powerful enemies.
Combat is the clear focus. The game features more than 30 weapons and over 20 Phantom Edges that players can mix and match. Defeating certain enemies lets Soul acquire their weapons and signature techniques. Motion capture was used throughout development to recreate martial arts moves inspired by the Golden Age of Hong Kong action cinema.
For fans of adventure games with deep combat systems, Phantom Blade Zero sits in an interesting space: it has the narrative structure of a story-driven action game with the weapon variety of something closer to a character action title.
