Short Answer
The newest Phantom Blade Zero trailer is the roughly 11-minute pre-order trailer from August 11, 2026, which revealed Mó Yuan, confirmed Donnie Yen's involvement, and opened pre-orders. The newest official video overall is the dedicated State of Play gameplay deep dive from August 17, which is the clearest look at the game's systems.
All official trailers embedded on this page come straight from S-GAME's official Phantom Blade Zero channel and the PlayStation channel, so what you watch here is exactly what the developers released. The game launches October 29, 2026 in most regions, and October 28 in the US and select regions.
The Latest Trailer: Pre-Order Trailer (August 2026)
This is the trailer to watch first. It runs about 11 minutes and works as a compressed version of the game's opening: story scenes, exploration, combat on top of a speeding wagon, a duel with Soul's former comrade known as The Hunt, multiple boss encounters, and weapon switching that changes both reach and fighting style. The closing reveal identifies the masked warrior Mó Yuan as Soul's father and the leader of the Bastion of Mó, with Donnie Yen providing the facial and motion performance.
S-GAME also uploaded the same trailer to its own Phantom Blade Zero channel, so you can watch it directly on the official channel if you prefer the developer's upload. For a deeper breakdown of what this trailer confirms, see our guide to the latest PS5 trailer.
The Gameplay Deep Dive: State of Play (August 2026)
If the pre-order trailer is the cinematic introduction, this is the systems lecture. The dedicated State of Play spends nearly twenty minutes on the Wulin world, weapon builds with more than 30 main weapons and 25 Phantom Edges, reforging, four difficulty tiers, exploration with side quests that open new story paths, and the supporting cast. It is the single best official video for understanding how Phantom Blade Zero is structured as a game rather than as a series of fight scenes.
Our full State of Play recap covers the timeline of every appearance and each confirmation in detail.
The Trailer That Started It: Announce Trailer (2023)
The world premiere trailer from the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase is where most people first met Soul. It introduced the 66-day premise — the hero is poisoned and has two months to live — the Kungfupunk visual identity, and the fast, cinematic kungfu combat that made the game an overnight topic. Comparing it with the 2026 footage shows how much the combat presentation has been refined while the core identity stayed the same.
Official Videos We Track but Don't Embed Yet
Not every official video is embedded above. Two earlier releases remain worth watching on S-GAME's official channel:
- Summer Game Fest 2024 footage: the first extended public demonstration of playable combat, before the systems were finalized.
- Year of the Snake 2025 trailer: a Lunar New Year release focused on the Seven Stars boss battle and paired-serpent choreography; it also confirmed that a release date announcement was coming.
We only embed videos whose uploads we have verified as coming from the official Phantom Blade Zero or PlayStation channels. You can find the full back catalog, dev diaries, and any future surprise drops on the official Phantom Blade Zero YouTube channel. This page is updated whenever a new official trailer drops.
Suggested Watch Order
- The 2023 announce trailer for the premise and the visual identity.
- The August 2026 pre-order trailer for story, characters, and the cinematic tone.
- The State of Play deep dive for how the game actually plays: builds, difficulty, exploration, and progression.
Watching in that order mirrors how the marketing unfolded and leaves the mechanical details for last, once you already care about the characters. If you only have ten minutes, watch the pre-order trailer and skip the rest — it carries the most new information per minute.
