Phantom Blade Zero launches on October 29, and here at Insider Gaming, we played through the entire game and earned the Platinum trophy before launch. Thanks to that hands-on experience, we can confidently speak about how long it takes to both finish the game and achieve 100% completion.
Because of its lower-than-usual launch price of $60, many players have questioned how much content the game actually offers. Some even assumed that S-Game’s Phantom Blade Zero would feature a relatively short campaign. Fortunately, we can confirm that’s not the case. The adventure starring Soul delivers a surprisingly substantial experience that should satisfy players looking for a lengthy and rewarding journey.

How Many Hours To Beat Phantom Blade Zero?
A campaign playthrough of Phantom Blade Zero takes around 30 hours to complete.
That estimate assumes you’re following the main story at a normal difficulty level while taking the time to learn the game’s fast, skill-driven combat system. It reflects a natural pace through the campaign rather than a speedrun or a completionist approach.
Those 30 hours also account for a fair amount of exploration. Along the way, you’ll likely spend time collecting upgrade resources, uncovering lore, and investigating the game’s detailed environments, all of which add to the experience without dramatically extending the playtime.
Exploring side paths, looking for hidden secrets, and occasionally retracing your steps to prepare for upcoming boss encounters are all part of a typical first run. Players who skip cutscenes, avoid optional content, and focus solely on story objectives may finish sooner, but the actual completion time will vary depending on how thoroughly they choose to explore and engage with the world.
