Phantom Blade Zero launches this October, with players in North America able to start playing on the evening of October 28. Pre-orders also include an accessory and outfit you can unlock early, while the Deluxe Edition comes with additional outfits and digital extras. Here is when Phantom Blade Zero comes out, its regional release times, and everything included with each edition.
When Is Phantom Blade Zero Coming Out?
The Phantom Blade Zero release date is Thursday, October 29, 2026, on PS5 and PC. However, the North American release time falls on Wednesday, October 28, at 7:00 PM PT / 10:00 PM ET. That means players in the United States can jump into the new S-Game title the evening before its advertised release date.
If you have seen both October 28 and October 29 listed, the difference comes down to time zones. The supplied 7:00 PM PDT unlock falls on October 29 across Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Phantom Blade Zero Release Times
As we mentioned earlier, the current listed release time for PBZ is October 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM PDT. For your convenience, we have converted that time into a table showing when it falls in each major region:
Phantom Blade Zero Pre-Order Items
Players who pre-order Phantom Blade Zero can unlock two items early: the Treasure Basin accessory and Legacy outfit. Treasure Basin increases your Remnant Dust drop rate by 10%, giving you a useful bonus as you begin playing.
Here are the PBZ pre-order items:
- Treasure Basin accessory: Increases Remnant Dust drop rate by 10%.
- Legacy outfit: An outfit available as an early unlock.
Both items can also be obtained through in-game progression. So if you decide to pick up the game after launch, you can still earn them by playing. Pre-ordering simply gives you access to them sooner.
Phantom Blade Zero Deluxe Edition Items
The Phantom Blade Zero Deluxe Edition includes the main game, two exclusive outfits, a digital artbook, and the digital soundtrack. However, it does not include early access.
Here is everything included in the Deluxe Edition:
- Wulin Legend: Deluxe Edition exclusive outfit.
- Blood-Steel Form: Deluxe Edition exclusive outfit.
- Digital Artbook.
- Digital Soundtrack (OST).
If you pre-order the Deluxe Edition, you also receive the early unlocks for Treasure Basin and Legacy. The distinction is that those two pre-order items can be earned through normal progression, while Wulin Legend and Blood-Steel Form are listed as Deluxe Edition exclusive outfits.
Is Phantom Blade Zero Coming to PC?
Yes, Phantom Blade Zero is coming to PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, alongside its PS5 release. PC players can choose between the Standard Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition, with pre-orders including early unlocks for the Treasure Basin accessory and Legacy outfit.
