Phantom Blade Zero Demo 2024

S-Game Studio has announced that their upcoming RPG, Phantom Blade Zero, will get a playable demo sometime in 2024.

The news comes from the director himself, Kenji Tanigaki, who revealed during their ChinaJoy 2023 Expo panel (via Twitter) that a planned public Phantom Blade Zero Demo is in the works, with it targeting a 2024 release. While details are still light as to what the demo will contain (no surprise as it’s still a way out), Kenji did confirm that it would be roughly 30 minutes of playtime. 

Phantom Blade Zero was announced back in May of this year, and while the reveal gameplay was confirmed to be running in-game, many had their doubts that the final product would look and play like that as it looked heavily scripted with the amount of action happening on-screen. Hopefully, this demo will prove otherwise, and I, for one cannot wait to try this out next year. 

About the Game: “In Phantom Blade Zero, you’re Soul, an elite assassin serving an elusive but powerful organization known simply as “The Order”. He was framed for the murder of The Order’s patriarch and gravely injured in the manhunt that ensued. A mystic healer managed to save him from death, but makeshift cure only lasts for 66 days. He must find out the mastermind behind it all before his time runs out, against powerful foes and inhuman monstrosities.”

Phantom Blade Zero is slated to release on PC and PS5. It currently has no release date, though based on today’s news, we wager it won’t be dropping this year like some have speculated.
