Phantom Blade Zero Shows 20 Minutes of Combat and Opens Preorders for Its October 29 Launch

Sony ran a State of Play on August 17 dedicated to Phantom Blade Zero, the fast action game from Chinese studio S-Game, showing roughly 20 minutes of new combat and confirming an October 29 release on PS5 and PC. Preorders opened the same day. Preordering unlocks the Treasure Basin accessory and Legacy outfit early, both of which can also be earned through normal play.

  2. Preorder bonuses you can also earn in game: generous, or pointless?
  3. Is October 29 too crowded a launch window for a new action IP?
