Phantom Blade Zero‘s initial announcement at ChinaJoy 2023 excited fans; combat dynamics inspired by Chinese Kung Fu attracted a lot of attention. Although developer S-GAME hasn’t revealed many details about the game, fans know enough to put it on their radar.
Developer S-Game allegedly told some YouTubers that the action RPG would be released in 2026, things may not be as they seem. Latest information suggests a new release date and shows that players may have to wait a little longer.
Phantom Blade Zero Release Date May Not Be As Close As We Expected
The yet unknown release date of Phantom Blade Zero is fueling plenty of speculation. Multiple sources are circulating rumors that the game is planned for a Fall 2026 release on PS5 and PC.
While impatient fans eager to dive into the magical world of the game are gearing up for this date, the latest information suggests that these dates might not be set in stone.
According to some sources, the release dates circulating so far aren’t entirely accurate and are considered placeholder dates. In fact, they suggest that the actual release date of Phantom Blade Zero is likely in early 2027.
In this case, fans will have to wait even longer, a prospect that many are not happy about. After this development, numerous fans took to social media to voice their frustration, stating that even the previous dates felt too late, and the latest one is simply too far off.
Some people disagree with the latest release date claim and insist that the game will launch in 2025 or 2026. They base this insistence on the gameplay trailers shared so far.
They believe it would be commercially unreasonable for the studio to wait for long periods when development is nearing the finish line and fans are already buzzing with excitement.
It’s important to note that there is currently nothing official by S-Game on the case, and these dates are all just claims. So, take all of this with a grain of salt for now.
What Exactly Does Phantom Blade Zero Promise Fans?
Phantom Blade Zero is based on the story of Soul, a cold-blooded assassin who works with the powerful organization called ‘The Order’. The game’s story gets interesting after Soul is accused of killing The Order’s patriarch.
Despite Soul’s attempts to escape, he cannot evade the large-scale manhunt and is ultimately killed. However, he is resurrected by a mystical healer and sets out to seek revenge. S-GAME explains the game exactly as follows;
Phantom Blade Zero, a new Action RPG featuring deep and dark art style, fast paced combat, and a fictitious world blending Chinese martial arts and steampunk! Be the Dark Raider exiled by “The Order”, embark on the path of vengeance, and uncover the darkest secrets of Wulin!
Players will explore a semi-open world in the game, set in a universe called Phantom World. This universe might also serve as a nod to the studio’s other games.
