Publisher identity
Who publishes this guide?
Phantom Blade Zero Guide is an independent English-language editorial project. It is not S-GAME, PARAWULIN PRODUCTION LIMITED, PlayStation or an official game website.
Editorial standards
Every factual guide lists the sources used and a visible fact-check date. A page can call a detail confirmed only when a current first-party source supports it. Search snippets, copied summaries and unsourced social posts are discovery leads, not final evidence.
Use the strongest available source
S-GAME announcements and official game pages come first. PlayStation, Steam and Epic storefronts are used for platform, region, price and hardware details.
Preserve uncertainty
"Not announced" means no current first-party source publishes the detail. "Unknown" means reliable evidence is unavailable. Neither phrase means "never."
Separate evidence types
A retailer listing is labeled as retail evidence. An interview is attributed to the speaker. A pre-release build does not prove final performance or launch content.
Correct in place
When stronger evidence changes an answer, the guide is updated in place, its fact-check date changes and the supporting source remains visible for readers to inspect.
Source hierarchy
- First-party game sources: S-GAME announcements, official websites and direct developer statements.
- Platform-owner sources: PlayStation, Steam and Epic pages for release, pricing, hardware and regional details.
- Direct interviews: Used when the original speaker, date and context can be identified.
- Retail evidence: Used only for what the listing itself shows, with region and uncertainty stated.
- Secondary reporting: Used for discovery or context, then cross-checked against the strongest available evidence.
Pre-release coverage boundaries
This site does not publish invented boss routes, weapon locations, tier lists, quest outcomes or performance benchmarks before they can be verified. Those guides require first-hand access to the retail game or reliable game data.
Original site illustrations are labeled as independent artwork. They are not presented as screenshots, concept art or promotional assets from S-GAME. Links to stores and official pages are provided as evidence and reader utilities, not as proof of endorsement.
