S-GAME presents Phantom Blade Zero, a fusion of classic Wuxia storytelling and exhilarating action powered by Unreal Engine 5. You play as Soul, a warrior with only sixty-six days left to live. Fend off assassins, unravel world-ending conspiracies, and defend your values with your life.

Framed for murdering his master, Soul suffers a devastating wound to the heart, leaving him just sixty-six days to live. Alone and hunted, he roams the Wulin, determined to unravel a conspiracy that has ensnared the martial world.
Through rain and blood, kindness and vengeance, he embarks on a journey where love and hatred intertwine in search of a heart.

Explore the mysterious Phantom World, where shifting light and shadow conceal mysteries at every turn.
Memory Flowers, the Wulin and the Discordance, Transcension, the Lady of the Veil, Inanis' Dreamscape...
Every secret leads to another, and every corner hides a new story.
When one path ends, another begins. Hidden passages and intricate mechanisms await those who dare to explore.

In the Wulin, your weapon is your life.
Master over 30 primary weapons and more than 20 unique Phantom Edges, wrested from the hands of fallen foes.
Rooted in traditional martial arts, combat flows through seamless combos that are easy to learn yet rewarding to master. Only true masters will uncover the deadly intricacies within every technique.
Blades clash in showers of sparks. Dodge, deflect, counter, and strike in one seamless flow, where victory and defeat are decided in an instant.
Will the next turn leave the sands stained with blood, or lead you back from the brink of death?

The golden age of wuxia cinema collides with punk fantasy in Phantom Blade Zero.
Martial arts, cold steel, mechanical prosthetics, crumbling industrial ruins, traditional Chinese aesthetics, and modern rock music.
Together, they create the dark, unmistakable aesthetic of kungfupunk.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5 and cutting-edge motion capture technology, renowned martial arts choreographers from the golden age of wuxia cinema collaborated to bring authentic Chinese kungfu to life. Every strike and stance in Phantom Blade Zero is rooted in real martial techniques.
