EVIDENCE / LEDGER

Sources and method

Official release, store and requirements pages were fetched on September 19, 2026. Each entry states its own check date and limits. Pending sources remain unchecked; that does not mean their information is unavailable.

Spoilers · Spoiler-free
01

Method

Claims are graded: official (stated by S-Game or official store listings), official footage (observed in official videos — choreography, not confirmed mechanics), preview report (third-party hands-on, never treated as launch fact), editorial (kingy guidance, labelled as opinion), user-entered (community values, stored separately) and unverified (nothing established).

Trailer choreography is never converted into confirmed player mechanics. Firsthand testing is claimed only with a build version and a recorded method — and this wiki has not played any Phantom Blade Zero build, which is stated in every place it matters.

S1 — Phantom Blade Zero official website (English)

Fetched product page: release date, Standard/Deluxe contents and preorder early unlocks. Product announcements do not establish tested mechanics.

S2 — Creative director letter (release update)

Retained for source history. Letter text has not been reviewed for this correction; it does not support the former seven-day claim or current timing advice.

S3 — Phantom Blade Zero: a new beginning in a long journey

Developer article published May 24, 2023. Establishes Soul, The Order, the 66-day premise and semi-open world. Historical announcement, not a current-build walkthrough.

S4 — Official gameplay trailers and show-floor demo footage (2023–2025)

Trailer choreography is evidence of intent and presentation, not of confirmed player mechanics. This ledger treats every footage observation as a separate, weaker claim than a stated feature.

S5 — Phantom Blade Zero — Steam store

Fetched PC listing: October 28 date in the retrieved storefront, editions, preorder rewards, system requirements and Steam features. Storefront region matters; performance targets require upscaling and are not Kingy benchmarks.

S6 — Phantom Blade Zero — PlayStation Store (United States)

US PS5 listing: Standard US$59.99, Digital Deluxe US$69.99, preorder early unlocks, accessibility declarations and PS5 Pro Enhanced label. Prices and listings may change; no gameplay test is implied.

S7 — Third-party hands-on previews (2023–2025)

Preview-only impressions are never treated as launch facts in this wiki. Individual outlet attribution was not re-checked for this edition and is pinned for launch-day review.

S8 — Kingy launch brief for Phantom Blade Zero

Historical commissioning context only. Release facts now use fetched S1, S5, S6 and S11; an internal brief is not independent verification.

S9 — Launch build (untested)

No kingy.wiki staff claim has tested any Phantom Blade Zero build. All launch-build claims on this wiki are placeholder statuses awaiting this lane.

S10 — Verified community reports (post-launch)

Community-sourced values are stored separately from verified values in every tool and record.

S11 — Phantom Blade Zero State of Play: combat and the Wulin world

Developer article published August 17, 2026: October 28 in the US/select regions, October 29 elsewhere; side quests, weapon reforging and Wayfarer, Hellwalker and Sixty-Six Days modes. Announcements, not tested launch mechanics.

S12 — Phantom Blade Zero PC system requirements

August 12, 2026 requirements: minimum/recommended hardware, SSD requirement and upscaling-dependent targets. No install-size figure appears in the retrieved text. These are publisher targets, not Kingy benchmarks.

S13 — Tiger Cannon demonstration, 9:30–9:42 — Enter the Wulin deep dive

August 17, 2026 presentation. Selected frames at 9:33, 9:38, 9:39, 9:40 and 9:41 plus the segment’s captions reviewed. Pre-release demonstration; platform/build and resource costs unverified. No Kingy gameplay test or review of the complete video. The full presentation contains story and enemy footage.

S14 — Heavy-shield response, 9:11–9:26 — Enter the Wulin deep dive

Official August 17, 2026 presentation. Selected native frames at 9:14 and 9:19–9:25 plus the original-source caption transcript reviewed. This is another interval of S13’s video, not an independent source. Platform/build, input, cost and universal guard-break behavior remain unverified; no Kingy gameplay test. The full source includes story and enemy footage.

What would need to change this page

Any of the following updates the ledger and bumps the edition: the official site publishing editions or requirements; the creative director letter being re-read; store listings updating; a kingy.wiki tester playing a build and publishing a method; or a correction arriving through the corrections page.
