FAQ

When does Phantom Blade Zero release?

October 29, 2026 on PS5, Steam and Epic. In the US and select regions it unlocks on the evening of October 28 (PS5: 7pm PT). It was rescheduled from September 9, 2026.

Has it been delayed again?

No. As of Sep 25, 2026 the game is gold (development complete since Aug 5) and every store still lists October 28/29.

Why do some sites still show September 9?

Those pages were published before the June reschedule and have not been re-verified. Any date sourced from a media hands-on page rather than the store page or official channels should be treated as stale.

Which platforms is it on?

PlayStation 5 (PS5 Pro Enhanced) and PC, on Steam and the Epic Games Store, plus WeGame in China. There is no PS4 or Xbox version.

Is there a demo?

Not currently. A demo page briefly appeared on the PlayStation Store in August and was removed.
