EVIDENCE / LEDGER
Each entry retains its recorded check date and limits; the latest check recorded in these entries is October 30, 2026. Pending sources remain unchecked; that does not mean their information is unavailable.
Launched October 28/29, 2026 by region · selected launch-week guides use attributed reports and creator footage · exact gameplay builds vary or are unconfirmed · Kingy has not play-tested
Spoilers · Spoiler-freeClaims 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 unconfirmed (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.
Launch walkthroughs and creator recordings are labelled as community reports. Reviewed video intervals record what was inspected on screen, with creator credits and build limits beside the original player. Viewing footage does not establish precise input timing or count as a Kingy gameplay test.
