Phantom Blade Zero gets October release date & its own PlayStation State of Play next week

S-Game Studio showed off 11 minutes of the game in a recent trailer and promised that more is coming with PlayStation's State of Play on Monday.

Phantom Blade Zero has been in development by S-Game Studio for several years, and a recently announced release date has revealed that its finish line is finally in sight. What’s more, we got 11 minutes of gameplay and there’s a State of Play for Phantom Blade Zero coming early next week.

S-Game Studio shared the newest look at its gameplay and a release date in a trailer on the PlayStation channel, with State of Play details posted in an accompanying PlayStation Blog. Phantom Blade Zero officially launches on PlayStation 5 and PC on October 29, 2026. However, the Phantom Blade Zero-focused State of Play will run on August 17, 2026 at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET on PlayStation Twitch and YouTube channels.

We’ve enjoyed following Phantom Blade Zero. It was one of my favorite games at Tokyo Game Show 2024 when it was beginning to make playable rounds. Contributing editor Lexi Luddy also enjoyed a showing of the game at TGS 2025. Its intense and beautiful combat, action platforming, and mystifying environment design have continued to impress, and the inclusion of action film actor Donnie Yen as its main protagonist adds some star power.

With an October release date set and the State of Play comi9ng next week, stay tuned to the Phantom Blade Zero topic for updates.
