Phantom Blade Zero is developed by S-GAME using Unreal Engine 5. The action RPG combines fast-paced martial arts combat with a dark fantasy setting inspired by Chinese wuxia and described as “kungfupunk”.
Players take control of Soul, an elite assassin who has been framed and has just 66 days left to live. His journey centres on uncovering the truth behind the conspiracy against him while fighting enemies using a variety of weapons and combat techniques.
The game is scheduled to launch on October 29, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The announced PC requirements apply to the Windows version.
