Frequently Asked Questions

Phantom Blade Zero is a single-player wuxia action RPG developed by Beijing-based S-GAME, built on Unreal Engine 5. You play as Soul, an elite assassin with 66 days left to live, fighting through a dark Phantom World of conspiracies. It launched on October 29, 2026 for PS5 and PC.

It borrows the parry-focused combat of Sekiro, but it is not a Soulslike. There are four adjustable difficulty modes including a Story Mode, checkpoints between boss phases, and a fast combo-driven combat system built around Sha-Chi management.

The game has 8 distinct endings. They are determined by side quest completion, item collection, and narrative choices throughout the campaign — not by a single final decision — so check the endings guide before you play.

It is semi-open world: eight interconnected regions that link seamlessly, each with hidden chests, side tales, and optional bosses. It is not one continuous map like Elden Ring.

The main story takes roughly 20-30 hours depending on difficulty and how much side content you clear. Completionists chasing all 8 endings, every weapon, and all collectibles can expect significantly more.
