In the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase, S-GAME immediately grabbed our (and many others’) attention with the reveal of its upcoming action RPG — and so, in anticipation, we’ve collated all we know about the possible Phantom Blade release date and latest news.
We’ll try our hand at some release date speculation by taking a look at some supposed statements from the developers themselves.
After the colossal success of Black Myth: Wukong, it’s clear to see that the Chinese games industry is flourishing into something really special.
Like Game Science’s take on Journey to the West, Phantom Blade Zero celebrates China’s heritage, something that has gone criminally underrepresented in the AAA gaming industry.
As the release of Black Myth: Wukong demonstrates, it has clearly resonated with many who make up the Chinese gaming market of 685 million people (figures from Intenta Digital).
But of course, the game has to cut the mustard for it to be a success, so let’s see what Phantom Blade Zero is all about!
The Phantom Blade Zero release date is yet to be announced.
There has been no direct statement given by developers S-GAME, butaccording to JorRaptor in a YouTube video (7:39), the developers told him that Phantom Blade Zero would release in autumn 2026.
Nothing more at this point has been said, but in an interview with the developers that was posted on Chinese site Bilibili, the creators stated that development «started in 2022» (machine-translated by Google).
As such, a four-year development cycle seems relatively realistic, so it could well be that we see Phantom Blade Zero release in 2026, towards the end of the PS5’s life cycle.
