Developer S-GAME says it is still finalising plans for Phantom Blade Zero’s future marketing, including a previously announced dedicated State of Play presentation. The clarification matters because an 11-minute pre-order trailer is due on 11 August, prompting speculation that it could replace or delay the promised broadcast amid controversy over Sony’s decision to stop manufacturing physical game discs.

Pre-orders for the action game will open on the PlayStation Store alongside the trailer on 11 August, and S-GAME says development is complete. Phantom Blade Zero remains scheduled for release on 29 October; while the original report suggested the State of Play might have been cancelled, S-GAME has not confirmed this and says it is excited about what is coming.
