When is the Phantom Blade 0 release date? The new title from developer S-Game surprised everyone when it was revealed during a recent PlayStation Showcase, with this soulslike looking like an incredible mix of Bloodborne and Sekiro Shadows Die Twice.
This dark and mysterious new IP is certainly going to stay in our heads for the foreseeable future, and we hope it ends up being one of the best PS5 RPG games when it finally arrives. If you’re wondering when this upcoming PS5 game will launch, here’s everything you need to know.
Phantom Blade 0 release date speculation
Phantom Blade 0’s release date is likely in late 2023 or early 2024, as the game was only revealed in a State of Play this year. In a recent PlayStation blog, S-Game confirmed it is still working vigorously on the game, offering that there will be “more news down the road”.
Since it was only revealed in May 2023, we’re likely going to get fresh information about the game soon, hopefully with a confirmed release date.
Phantom Blade 0 gameplay
Phantom Blade 0 is a hack-and-slash RPG, with a focus on slower, strategic action as opposed to the fast-paced games like Devil May Cry in the same genre. Soulframe Liang, the founder of S-Game, confirmed in a PlayStation blog post that it was inspired by soulslikes and the Monster Hunter series.
It is a semi-open world game, with a focus on several separate but large areas instead of one giant map. The action is focused on authentic kung-fu moves, similar to an action movie in the 1990s. You can check out the reveal trailer of the game below to see what’s in store for you once the game arrives.
Phantom Blade 0 story
In the upcoming game, you play as Soul, a talented assassin who serves an organization known as “The Order”. Framed for the murder of The Order’s patriarch, and killed in the manhunt that followed, he is resurrected by a mystic healer. However, things are never that simple, and Soul only has 66 days left to live to find the mastermind behind it all.
As you play through the narrative of Phantom Blade 0, you’ll come across dangerous foes and inhuman monsters. With such a focus on strategic action, it won’t be an easy adventure.
That’s everything we know about the Phantom Blade 0 release date right now. For the time being, you can find some of the best PS5 games out there right now, but for something similar, we recommend checking out our Elden Ring review if you have yet to play one of the best games of 2022.
