I Played 6 Hours of Phantom Blade Zero and Can’t Stop Thinking About It | IGN Preview

After half a day playing Phantom Blade Zero, it’s gone from mostly not on my radar to to the top of my wishlist this fall, and I truly cannot wait to dive back in later this month to see if it can deliver beyond those first handful of hours. At least for now, though, just about everything I’ve seen and played has made me more convinced that this is going to be one of the coolest action games of 2026. Previewed by Travis Northup
