Phantom Blade Zero: 15 Years in Development and a Release on the Horizon — How to Pre-Order from Russia
S-Game is finally nearing the release of Phantom Blade Zero. Here's where to buy the game and how to pay with a virtual card if your local card is not accepted.
S-Game has announced that its action game Phantom Blade Zero is in the final stages of development and will be released soon. This was reported by Kotaku on October 9, 2026. The game took 15 years to create, and before that the team released two RPGs to gain experience and funding. Release date and platforms have not been disclosed yet, but pre-orders are likely to open soon.
What we know about Phantom Blade Zero
Phantom Blade Zero is a fast-paced action game with RPG elements, inspired by Chinese culture and martial arts. The developers promise spectacular combat and a deep storyline. The game took a long time to make and required significant investment. Exact platforms and release date are not named, but it is expected to arrive on PC and current-gen consoles.
Where to buy and how to pay
If you plan to purchase Phantom Blade Zero, it's important to arrange your payment method in advance. Russian Visa and Mastercard cards do not work in foreign stores, so to buy the game on Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or Epic Games you will need a foreign bank card. VirtCardPay virtual cards can solve this problem: you can issue a card in USD or EUR and pay for the pre-order or purchase on release day.
Step-by-step guide
- Register with VirtCardPay and issue a virtual card (Visa or Mastercard) in the desired currency.
- Top up the balance with an amount exceeding the game's price (account for possible store fees).
- In the store (Steam, PS Store, Xbox, Epic Games), select the game and proceed to checkout.
- Enter your virtual card details. If the store requires address verification, provide the details linked to the card.
- After payment, the game will appear in your library.
Possible issues and solutions
Some stores may decline the payment due to regional restrictions. In this case, try changing your account region (if allowed by the store's rules) or use a card issued in the country corresponding to your account's region. Also make sure the card has sufficient funds and the online transaction limit is not exceeded.
