Release Schedule and Availability

S‑GAME announced that the action RPG "Phantom Blade Zero" will launch on October 29, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and PC. The launch will be simultaneous worldwide, with a global unlock that starts all players at the same moment. In the United States, the unlock time corresponds to the evening of October 28, 2026 because of the time‑zone difference. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland the server will activate the game at 3:00 AM CET on October 29, 2026.

Pre‑loading becomes available on October 26, 2026 at 19:00 PM PDT (3:00 AM CET on October 27) for both PS5 and PC. The estimated download size ranges from 134 GB to 145 GB, and the studio advises players with slower connections to use the pre‑load option. The main story is estimated to require 20 to 24 hours of playtime.

Editions and Pricing

The standard edition is priced at €69,99, and a Digital Deluxe Edition is also offered. The game features martial‑arts movie star Donnie Yen.

IGN gave the title a 9/10 rating, describing it as “an unbelievably smooth action game filled with memorable boss fights, compelling combat, and limitless swagger.” Pre‑orders opened on August 12 at 04:00 CET in France on Steam, Epic Games Store, and the PlayStation Store.
