Series timeline

2010 — Rainblood: Town of Death

S-GAME founder Soulframe Liang dates the series' origins to an RPG Maker project he created in 2010, Rainblood: Town of Death. His account describes the project growing into the Phantom Blade franchise. This is a development milestone, not a claim about a worldwide release date.[1]

2023 — Phantom Blade Zero introduced

Liang introduced Phantom Blade Zero on the PlayStation Blog on 24 May 2023. He described it as a spiritual return to the original Rainblood, built in Unreal Engine 5. The same account explains that many earlier entries were mobile games that had not been released outside China.[1]

2026 — Phantom Blade Zero on PS5

The PlayStation listing gives 29 October 2026 as Phantom Blade Zero's PS5 release date and names S-GAME Publishing as publisher. See the PS5 guide for the edition and feature details supported by that listing.[2]
