Pre-orders for Phantom Blade Zero, the Wuxia-inspired action RPG from S-Game, go live next week, and they arrive with a substantial new look at the game. Development on the title is finished, and the studio has locked a firm date and time for both the store listings and an all-new 11-minute trailer.
Quick answer: Pre-orders and the 11-minute trailer both go live on August 11, 2026 at 7 PM PT (August 12 at 10 AM Beijing Time), simultaneously on the PlayStation Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
Release time: August 11, 2026 at 7:00 PM PT (August 12 at 10:00 AM Beijing Time)
Phantom Blade Zero pre-order date and time by region
The go-live moment is a single global point in time, listed below across a few reference zones. Once the clock hits it, the storefront pages should switch from wishlist to pre-order and the trailer should be watchable.
| Region | Date and time |
|---|---|
| Pacific (PT) | August 11, 2026 — 7:00 PM |
| Beijing Time | August 12, 2026 — 10:00 AM |
| UTC | August 12, 2026 — 2:00 AM |
Where to pre-order Phantom Blade Zero
Pre-orders open on the same three digital storefronts at once. Right now each page is set to wishlist, and it flips to a purchasable pre-order at the time above.
- PlayStation Store (PS5)
- Steam (PC)
- Epic Games Store (PC)
A physical listing has also surfaced through retailer PlayAsia, so a disc version may be part of the plan even though S-Game has not yet confirmed one directly. The pricing remains unannounced until the listings go live.
What the 11-minute trailer will show
The full trailer runs 11 minutes and lands at the exact same time as the pre-orders. S-Game says it covers new story content, additional characters, more combat, and “something unexpected” that the studio has not detailed.
Ahead of it, the developer shared a 35-second teaser featuring Mu Xiaokui, daughter of The Order’s founder, standing before a fire before departing in what appears to be a hot-air balloon. The longer trailer should fill in the context of that scene.
You can preview the tone with the pre-order teaser below.
Release date, platforms, and the delay
Phantom Blade Zero launches October 29, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and PC. That date follows a delay announced on June 3, which moved the game back from its original September 9, 2026 window so the team could refine character models and improve performance on PS5 and PC.

You play as Soul, a former assassin for the organization known as The Order who is framed for his master’s death and left with 66 days to live. The pre-order launch was first teased during the June State of Play, where S-Game also mentioned a separate presentation with a gameplay and Story Deep Dive planned for late summer 2026.
Everything hinges on the same moment next week. When the storefront pages switch from wishlist to a purchasable pre-order and the 11-minute video becomes available, the launch is live and confirmed.
