Watch the Phantom Blade Zero gameplay deep dive State of Play on August 17, pre-orders live today
S-Game is excited to share that Phantom Blade Zero is available for pre-order on PlayStation 5. A special standalone State of Play broadcast will air on August 17, offering nearly 20 minutes of new gameplay.
The broadcast will stream at 7:00pm PT / 10:00pm ET | August 18 at 3:00am BST / 10:00am Beijing Time / 11:00am JST on PlayStation Twitch and YouTube channels. The event will take a closer look at the intricate gameplay systems, dynamic combat, and the dark wuxia land known as the Phantom World.
You may have recognized a familiar face at the end of the pre-order trailer: Donnie Yen. He has served as creative consultant for Phantom Blade Zero since 2023, bringing his martial arts and action filmmaking expertise to combat design. He also takes on the role of Facial & Motion Capture Actor for Mó Yuan, our protagonist Soul’s father.
What you saw in the pre-order trailer is only the beginning. Battling enemies atop a speeding wagon and crossing blades with former comrades like The Hunt are just the opening moments of Soul’s journey. The upcoming State of Play will introduce never-before-seen characters central to our story while showing just how expressive players can be with their individual builds.
Phantom Blade Zero launches on October 29, 2026. Pre-ordering grants early unlock of the Treasure Basin accessory and the Legacy outfit. Both items can also be obtained through in-game progression.
