What is already confirmed
Steam credits S-GAME Studio as developer and S-GAME Publishing as publisher. Its PC requirements specify Windows 10/11, 64-bit. A native macOS or Linux version is not listed.
Soul is an assassin with a wounded heart and 66 days left to live. The story mixes martial arts, machines and dark fantasy in the Phantom World. Steam describes over 30 primary weapons and over 20 secondary weapons called Phantom Edges; they are not simply a category of shorter blades.

Where to start
Compare Standard and Digital Deluxe before choosing a store. Both contain the game; Deluxe adds two appearances, a digital artbook and a digital soundtrack. The pre-order guide links only to official stores. Treasure Basin and Legacy are early unlocks also obtainable through play, not permanently exclusive pre-order content.
PlayStation lists 29 October at 02:00 UTC, which falls on 28 October in US time zones. Steam displays 28 October, but its exact PC unlock hour has not been independently confirmed. Use the platform-specific countdown and time guide, not the PS5 timestamp as a PC promise.
PC buyers can check the minimum and recommended requirements: an SSD is required, but the checked official specifications do not publish an installation size in GB. Read the gameplay overview or FAQ for story, difficulty and language questions.
What is still unconfirmed
As of 16 October, a public demo download, Xbox release, Game Pass launch and retail disc are not established by the sources below. Offline event demos and gameplay videos are not downloadable trials. This does not mean those products can never be announced.
The reviews page separates previews from reviews of the finished game. Likewise, playtime estimates are developer statements, not our measured completion times. We do not claim to have played the final release.
Questions
Is Phantom Blade Zero single-player?
Yes. Steam and PlayStation list one player; neither checked listing offers co-op. See single-player and multiplayer status.
Is there a disc?
