‘Phantom Blade Zero’ Confirms Physical Release Alongside Stunning New Launch Trailer
The new launch trailer highlights the game’s beautiful graphics, showcasing the environment and character models, all of which look absolutely stunning.

Phantom Blade Zero looks like a gorgeous game, and fortunately, players don’t have much longer to wait.
The game will be released digitally on October 29, coming to PlayStation and Steam. For those who still prefer physical media, though, there will be an option for that, too.

‘Phantom Blade Zero’ Reveals 3 Physical Editions Coming in 2027
Although the release date for physical editions isn’t specific beyond 2027, it’s still positive news for players who don’t want to rely on digital releases. The announcement graphic included photos of the game discs, which means this will be a product people can actually get their hands on, not just a code in the box.
Phantom Blade Zero centers on Soul, an assassin who uses a wide range of weapons for his work, from traditional swords and the titular phantom blades to axes, hammers, and even larger weapons like cannons. In fact, he has over 30 primary weapons, and He can obtain over 20 Phantom Edges from enemies he defeats in battle. Phantom Edges provide him with specialized attacks.
Due to a serious wound to his heart, Soul only has a limited amount of time to live, so his mission to get to the heart of a crucial conspiracy is under a ticking clock. With combat inspired by real martial arts, Phantom Blade Zero draws players into a world rich in history and supernatural elements.
Part of the Phantom Blade series, which was initially known as the Rainblood series before being renamed, Phantom Blade Zero is a reboot that follows Rainblood: Town of Death and Rainblood Chronicles: Mirage. Next came two mobile games under the Phantom Blade name. This upcoming game is a standalone story that takes the original lore and gives it a new spin.
Ahead of its release, players can pre-order the game on both PlayStation and Steam.
