FIELD NOTES / PRE-LAUNCH

Before the journey begins

Officially confirmed information for Phantom Blade Zero. Detailed walkthroughs will follow verified play.

Release date: October 28 or October 29?

The official announcement names October 29, 2026, with October 28 in the US and select regions. Steam currently displays October 28, 2026. Check your platform’s local listing for availability; this site does not present a single worldwide countdown.

What exploration has been confirmed?

Steam’s official description mentions secrets, hidden passages and mechanisms. S-GAME’s August overview also describes secrets within the Wulin. This confirms exploration features, but it does not provide the coordinates or area boundaries needed for a reliable interactive map.

Side quests and story paths

The developer says completing some side quests may open new story paths. That is not enough evidence to publish branching quest walkthroughs, missable warnings or an ending checklist. Those details will need to be checked in the game.

The announced arsenal

Start with the primary weapon overview and Phantom Edges briefing for the confirmed system counts and their sources. Individual equipment locations and statistics have not been published here.

How to use this companion after launch

Open the map workspace, search for a verified discovery and select its marker to read the available location notes. Mark it complete to keep a personal record. The checklist will cover published entries rather than claiming the whole game has been mapped.

What comes next?

Quest, boss, collectible and progression guides are possible future additions. They will be created when verified information can answer a specific player question. Until then, this hub links to the useful information already available, without empty walkthrough pages.
