- The game is scheduled to release on October 29 for PC and PlayStation 5 after a 50-day delay from an earlier September 9 launch window.
- Phantom Blade Zero is the studio’s first console project and a full 3D spiritual reboot of its Rainblood series that was planned from 2017 and entered full-scale development in 2022.

- Watch for the teased trailer and pre-order metrics as S-GAME moves from mobile and PC into the triple-A console market, a shift that could reshape the studio’s audience and revenue stream.
