Does Phantom Blade Zero have multiplayer or co-op?

Updated 2026-10-16. Checked 2026-10-16.

Phantom Blade Zero is listed as Single-player on Steam and 1 player on PlayStation Store, checked October 16, 2026. No local co-op, online co-op, shared campaign or PvP mode is advertised in those listings.

This answers the announced game's player count, not a promise about all future updates. No multiplayer mode should be inferred from an old interview or forum headline.

Single-player means one campaign player

In Inven's October 8 developer interview, Soulframe Liang also explicitly distinguishes the game from PvP and multiplayer titles. Neither store listing offers a way to invite a friend or join a second player.

For the kind of solo challenge available instead, see difficulty and Sixty-Six Days.
