Forge Your Legend
A wuxia action RPG by S-GAME, built on Unreal Engine 5. Guide Soul through the Phantom World with combat tips, weapon guides, Phantom Edges, boss help and build ideas.
What is Phantom Blade Zero?
Phantom Blade Zero is a wuxia action RPG developed and self-published by S-GAME. It launches on PlayStation 5 and PC on October 29, 2026, and follows Soul, an elite assassin framed for murder who has only 66 days to clear his name.
Combat blends Hong Kong martial-arts cinema with the studio's kungfupunk aesthetic. Attacks do not cost stamina; only sprinting, dodging and parrying do, which makes the game feel closer to Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry than a soulslike.
