Phantom Blade Zero State of Play start time & countdown clock
Table of Contents
Sony and S-GAME are preparing a special State of Play dedicated entirely to the upcoming action RPG, giving fans a much deeper look at what the game has to offer ahead of its launch later this year. Unlike a regular State of Play featuring multiple games, this presentation will focus only on Phantom Blade Zero.
PlayStation has described it as a gameplay deep dive, with the broadcast set to explore the game’s combat, gameplay systems, characters, and the dark wuxia world known as the Phantom World. And if you’ve been waiting to learn more about the game, you’ll be glad to know the wait will be over soon, as the event will be hosted soon.
Phantom Blade Zero State of Play start time
According to the official PlayStation Blog, the Phantom Blade Zero State of Play will begin on Monday, August 17, at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET. Of course, the start time will be different for everyone due to time zone differences. For those interested, the event will be available to watch through PlayStation’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.

What to expect from the event
This should be one of the biggest looks yet at Phantom Blade Zero. PlayStation has confirmed that the presentation will show previously unseen gameplay and introduce new characters that will play an important role in Soul’s journey.
The showcase will also go deeper into the game’s combat and customization. Players will be able to see how different builds can change the way Soul approaches battles, while the presentation will offer a closer look at the game’s various gameplay systems.
The recent pre-order trailer already showed Soul fighting enemies on a moving wagon and facing former allies such as The Hunt. However, PlayStation says those scenes are just the beginning.
