S-GAME is the studio behind Phantom Blade Zero, one of the most eye-catching action RPGs of 2026. The team develops the game as S-GAME Studio and brings it out with S-GAME Publishing, for PlayStation 5 and PC over Steam and Epic Games Store.

S-GAME and Phantom Blade Zero

Phantom Blade Zero combines classic Wuxia stories with fantasy and folk horror. You play Soul, a warrior who lives only 66 days after a murder plot. S-GAME relies on the Unreal Engine 5 and Motion Capture to bring combat choreographies in the style of Hong Kong action cinema into play. The studio calls this style itself Kungfupunk.

Combat system and weapons

The focus is on a fast combat system. According to the official description, more than thirty weapons are available to you, plus more than twenty so-called phantoms, which you can use. Defeated boss opponents leave behind their weapons and thus their typical techniques. So your Barter armoury grows with each major battle, and you adjust your Spielstil Schritt by step.

The world mixes old martial arts with machines, smoke and iron. In the pictures shown so far you can see rainy villages, burning battlefields, temples in the fog and dark halls. The game world is said to be full of rumors and secrets that uncover a larger conspiracy bit by bit. The game supports completely German texts, the voice version is available in English and Chinese.

Release, platforms and price

The standard version costs 59.99 euros on Steam, the Digital Deluxe Edition also includes two outfits, a digital artbook and the soundtrack. Pretenders will get the Accessoire Schatzbecken and the Outfit Legacy, and both will have to set up in the game. A physical version for the PlayStation 5 will not follow until 2027.

The Road to Release

According to S-GAME, Phantom Blade Zero 2023 was shown for the first time, followed by the first playable demo on site in 2024 and further showcases in 2025. In June 2026, Studiochef Soulframe postponed the release in an open letter by 50 days from September 9 to 29. October 2026 to further improve character models and environments.

I am convinced how openly the studio handled the shift and how consistently it pursues its own style. All information about the game can be found in our article Phantom Blade Zero. Other studios are in our Developer review before.
