Phantom Blade Zero Surges on Steam as Players Place Mass Pre-orders
Following an 11-minute gameplay presentation, Phantom Blade Zero by S-GAME immediately claimed the top spot on the Steam bestseller chart.
Phantom Blade Zero received an extensive feature showcasing new gameplay segments and confirming what players had been waiting for. Just hours after pre-orders opened, the game from S-GAME became a bestseller on Steam.
Although a special State of Play showcase is scheduled for August 17, it appears unnecessary. The 11-minute presentation proved sufficient to make the wuxia adventure a hit.

Despite the lack of a demo version and a physical release, displaying the game with attractive pricing triggered a wave of pre-orders. As a result, Phantom Blade Zero became the top-selling game on Steam.
The game will launch on October 29, 2026. It immediately secured first place among bestsellers, demonstrating strong interest in classic hack-and-slash games.
