Phantom Blade Zero is an upcoming wuxia action role-playing game developed and published by the Chinese studio S-Game. The player assumes the role of Soul, an elite assassin serving the Order, who is framed for the murder of the Order’s patriarch and thus hunted by the Order’s members. Inflicted with a fatal wound to his heart and revived with a tainted heart, he is left with only a limited number of days to live. Set in the Phantom World, the story is centered on his mission to restore his heart and unravel the conspiracy that has condemned him. The game is an entry in the Phantom Blade series.
The game’s action was designed based on Chinese martial arts. It involved motion capture performances by martial artists such as Donnie Yen, collaborations with traditional martial arts schools, and inspirations drawn from classic martial arts cinema. The game’s style was rooted in kungfupunk, a distinctive take on wuxia fused with unconventional elements from other genres. The game’s music was created by using traditional Chinese instruments and blending their sound with modern styles.
Phantom Blade Zero is scheduled to be released for PlayStation 5 and Windows on 29 October 2026.
