About the journal
Bellroad Journal is an independent fan desk for Phantom Blade Zero. We read public interviews, showcase demos, and the August 2026 State of Play, then write them in plain language. S-GAME develops and publishes the game. We do not.
Who is actually making the game
Soulframe Liang is founder and game director at S-GAME. He has said the Wulin began as student writing more than twenty years ago, while Phantom Blade Zero is the studio’s first large Unreal Engine 5 production after years of mobile games. Donnie Yen is creative consultant and the performed face of Mó Yuan. Liang has also said young developers were handed real bosses and the opening sequence.
- A world Liang started on paper long before this console project
- Motion capture translated by an in-house kung-fu team, not copied as a film
- A platinum path meant to be reachable in one thorough playthrough
