Phantom Blade Zero Donnie Yen Reveal Leads New Trailer
S-GAME Studio has revealed a major new look at Phantom Blade Zero, confirming that Donnie Yen has joined the upcoming action RPG as pre-orders go live.
The new 11-minute pre-order trailer offers another extended look at Soul’s fast, stylish combat, supporting characters, and story setup ahead of the game’s October 29 launch for PlayStation 5 and PC.
New Trailer Shows Soul’s Allies and Combat
Phantom Blade Zero has come a long way from its early reveal as a striking but relatively unknown action project. The latest trailer continues to show why the game has become one of 2026’s most closely watched action releases. Soul’s combat remains fast, sharp, and visually dramatic, with battles unfolding even in tighter environments where positioning and timing appear to matter.
However, the trailer is not only about swordplay. It also gives more attention to the people around Soul, introducing several supporting NPCs who may play important roles across his journey.
That is useful because Phantom Blade Zero has often sold itself through combat first. This trailer does more to suggest the story, allies, and personal stakes driving the action.
Donnie Yen Plays Mo Yuan
The biggest reveal is Donnie Yen’s involvement. S-GAME has confirmed that the martial arts actor is not only serving as a creative consultant, he is also providing facial and motion capture performance for Mo Yuan, Soul’s father.
That immediately makes Mo Yuan more intriguing. The character has been kept largely hidden behind a mask in the game’s promotional material so far, which suggests S-GAME may be holding back more than a simple mentor or backstory figure.
Yen’s involvement also fits the identity S-GAME has been building around Phantom Blade Zero. The game’s Kung-Fu Punk style is heavily inspired by Chinese martial arts cinema, wuxia storytelling, and fast, choreographed action. Bringing in one of the most recognisable martial arts stars of the modern era gives that direction more weight.
Phantom Blade Zero Pre-Orders Are Now Live
Pre-orders for Phantom Blade Zero are now open. On the PlayStation Store in Singapore, the standard PS5 pre-order is listed at SG$69.90. The PlayStation listing also includes early unlock pre-order bonuses for the Treasure Basin accessory, which increases the Remnant Dust drop rate by 10%, and the Legacy outfit. Both items can also be obtained through in-game progression.
The Steam version is also available for pre-order, with the store listing Phantom Blade Zero for PC and confirming S-GAME Studio as developer and S-GAME Publishing as publisher.
Dedicated State of Play Is Coming
Players looking for an even deeper breakdown will not have to wait until launch. PlayStation has announced a dedicated Phantom Blade Zero State of Play for August 17. The showcase is expected to run for around 15 to 20 minutes and will focus on the game’s world, combat, exploration, and character progression systems.
That could be the most important showing yet. The game already looks impressive in trailers, but a longer gameplay-focused presentation should give players a better idea of how its systems fit together beyond cinematic combat cuts.
With pre-orders now open, Donnie Yen attached, and a dedicated State of Play coming next, Phantom Blade Zero is entering its final marketing stretch with plenty of momentum.
Phantom Blade Zero launches on October 29 for PlayStation 5 and PC.
