There are few things more intimidating than a massive boss fight in an action RPG – well, unless we're talking about the amount of storage space you need to install the game in the first place. And that's exactly what you'll have to worry about with Phantom Blade Zero!

Download details for S-GAME's upcoming action RPG have surfaced on social media, revealing that the game promises not only plenty of big bosses to test your skills against, but also a download size that will put your SSD to the test before you even get to swing your weapon.

Phantom Blade Zero Download Size and Release Date

According to the information circulating online (thank you, PlayStation Game Size), Phantom Blade Zero will require a whopping 134.857 GB of storage space. That's quite a bit of room to clear out, especially if your drive is already packed with games you've been meaning to play.

And while we can joke that the file size must have something to do with all those massive boss fights, it's probably a good idea to start making some room ahead of launch.

Phantom Blade Zero will require a whopping 134.857 GB of storage space. That's quite a bit of room to clear out, especially if your drive is already packed with games you've been meaning to play.

The information also indicates that the Standard Edition of Phantom Blade Zero will cost $59.99, with pre-loading scheduled to begin on October 27. The game itself is set to launch on October 29, with the listed release time being 2 AM GMT on October 29.

Here's a quick breakdown of the details:

• Download Size: 134.857 GB
• Standard Edition Price: $59.99
• Pre-Load Date: October 27
• Release Date: October 29
• Release Time: 2 AM GMT

If you're planning to jump into the game as soon as it launches, it might be worth checking your available storage now rather than scrambling to delete a few games at the last minute. After all, nobody wants their first challenge in Phantom Blade Zero to be figuring out which games to uninstall.

Jokes about storage space aside, the game's hefty download size seems fitting for a project that aims to bring something fresh to the action RPG genre. As I discussed in my recent preview, S-GAME's first triple-A project feels like the refreshing action RPG we need right now, mixing different genres and ideas into an experience that's surprisingly difficult to pin down.

Trust me when I say that it's not easy to slap a single label on what the Chinese studio is building, and that's part of the appeal. The game combines a distinct wuxia-inspired world with fast-paced, hack-and-slash combat, borrows elements from Soulslike games, features RPG-style progression systems, and even gave me a bit of a 3D platformer vibe during exploration. So yes, it draws from a wide range of genres and systems, making it feel like more than just another action RPG. It's ambitious, it has its own identity, and, most importantly, it's hard not to come away feeling that the developers are onto something special.

So, Phantom Blade Zero might demand a considerable chunk of your storage space, but if the final game lives up to what I've seen so far, it could be well worth making room for it! Just make sure your SSD is ready before those bosses start demanding your attention.
