Outfits
Phantom Blade Zero has eight outfits for Soul. Two are worn from the start, two belong to the Digital Deluxe Edition, and four are tied to finishing the game: The Hunt, Kindred, Blizzard and Legacy. Guides disagree on which ending gives Blizzard, and one finished run got it with the True Ending. All eight are cosmetic and are changed under Character, Appearance.
Phantom Blade Zero has eight outfits for Soul, and you change them from the pause menu's Character tab, under Appearance, at any time after the prologue: Black Scarf and Sanguine are there from the start, The Hunt and Kindred come with any ending, Blizzard and Legacy are tied to the secret ending, and Blood-Steel Form and Wulin Legend come only with the Digital Deluxe Edition (KeenGamer and TechWiser, both Oct 30, 2026; NoobFeed, Nov 3, 2026). None of them changes a stat. Since the four earned ones need the credits, they are out of reach for most players so far: on Nov 13, 2026, 28.8% of Steam players had beaten the last required boss.
The two paid ones are looks and nothing more. In MixBreed Gaming's Oct 5, 2026 video on the editions, the host sums up the Deluxe extras as "two additional looks for Soul" and adds that for "somebody like me who enjoys changing outfits throughout a game", in a game where you spend a lot of time looking at your character, "I can definitely see some value there."
Next: the quests the secret ending asks for, in order, what the Deluxe Edition costs in your region or how to hide the HUD and show an outfit off.
All eight, and where the guides disagree
| Outfit | How the three guides say you get it | What one finished run saw |
|---|---|---|
| Black Scarf (Fugitive) | Worn when a new game starts | In the menu; shown as "Black Scar (Fugitive)" |
| Sanguine | Available from the start | In the menu |
| The Hunt | Finish the story with any ending | "APPEARANCE ACQUIRED!" after the Final Battle ending |
| Kindred | Finish the story with any ending | The same notice, second |
| Blizzard | Meet the secret ending's requirements but leave a Long Pillar undone | The same notice, third, after the Final Battle ending |
| Legacy | Pre-order, or reach the secret ending | In the menu after the ending, with no notice |
| Blood-Steel Form | Digital Deluxe Edition | Not in that run's menu |
| Wulin Legend | Digital Deluxe Edition | Not in that run's menu |
The right-hand column is AllThingsHow's account (updated Nov 5, 2026) of its own playthrough, which ended on Final Battle, the True Ending, and showed six appearances.
Blizzard is the open question. KeenGamer, TechWiser and NoobFeed all give the same odd condition: do everything the secret ending needs except the five Long Pillars. On our Endings table that set of steps is the Long's Roar ending. AllThingsHow's run got Blizzard from Final Battle itself, in one row of three notices with The Hunt and Kindred. Both can be true only if Blizzard unlocks on either ending; no guide has tested that, and NoobFeed's advice to keep a separate save before finishing the pillars costs nothing. If you already cleared all five and want Blizzard, AllThingsHow's run says you still get it.
Legacy does not need a pre-order. It was the pre-order's "Early Unlock Outfit", and the store listing said from the start that it could also be earned in play (Editions and Pre-order Bonuses). NoobFeed and TechWiser name the secret ending as that route, KeenGamer hedges with "reportedly", and AllThingsHow found it marked as new on the Appearance page after the ending.
The first outfit has two spellings. Three guides write Black Scarf; AllThingsHow, reading the menu tile, writes Black Scar. We have not seen the tile ourselves.
Changing outfit
Open the menu, go to the Character tab and pick Appearance; choose a tile and confirm (KeenGamer, NoobFeed). On PC, AllThingsHow gives the keys: Esc, the CHARACTER tab, C for the Appearance page, Space to wear the selected look and T to show or hide the headwear. A red marker shows what Soul is wearing, and a small red dot marks a look you have not opened yet. No merchant, bell or cost is involved.
The same page is where the game shows how many days Soul has left, so it is worth a look for that alone (GamerFuzion).
What each one looks like
The game's own lines, as AllThingsHow copied them from the tiles:
- Black Scarf (Fugitive): "Light traveling gear, left worn and tattered by a duel that shook heaven and earth with no one there to witness it."
- Sanguine: light traveling gear again; "When Ghoststep is unleashed, a streak of dark crimson flies with every motion." The streak is for show and adds no speed (NoobFeed).
- The Hunt: "A loose hunter's garb with a hood heavy enough to hold back the wind at a dead run." It shares its name with The Hunt, the Order's hunter you fight early.
- Kindred: "A dignified martial uniform layered with scale armor, ideal for holding the line in a long, grinding battle."
- Blizzard: "A warrior's traveling attire that long ago drank its fill of wind and snow."
- Legacy: "No armor, only a grandmaster's composure."
- Blood-Steel Form: heavy plate tinted deep crimson (TechWiser). KeenGamer notes it is "a cosmetic outfit rather than a separate combat transformation".
- Wulin Legend: a wandering swordsman's clothes (TechWiser, NoobFeed).
Fortnite's Soul Outfit is a different thing: it dresses a Fortnite character, not Soul, and guides report that it comes with an Epic Games Store purchase.
Are the Deluxe outfits worth $10?
That is the whole price gap: $59.99 against $69.99 in the US on Steam and the PlayStation Store when we last read them on Nov 9, 2026 (Editions and Pre-order Bonuses has every region), with the artbook and soundtrack in the same bundle. Six of the eight looks cost nothing extra, and four of those six are rewards for finishing, so a Standard Edition player ends a full run with a wardrobe anyway. We think the Deluxe Edition is for people who want the artbook and the music; as outfits alone, two looks for $10 is the weakest part of the offer.
We think S-Game adds at least one new outfit to the game, free or paid, by the end of Mar 2027.
Confidence: Possible. Check by: Mar 2027.
Why we think so: the studio already treats Soul's looks as something to sell and to give away (two in the Deluxe Edition, one as a pre-order unlock, one lent to Fortnite), outfits need no new fights or story, and the Nov 4, 2026 patch showed it shipping small additions within a week of launch (Patches and Updates). What would prove us wrong: no new appearance in any patch, store listing or announcement by Mar 31, 2027.

EndingsPhantom Blade Zero has four documented endings: Final Battle (the True Ending), Long's Roar, Annihilation (the default) and Undying Grudge, which only the 66 Days mode reaches. The True Ending needs every purple-icon quest done, ten of them before you enter Mirage Estate, and leads to a last fight with Zuo Shang after Meng Hua.

Editions and Pre-order BonusesPhantom Blade Zero comes in two editions, the Standard Edition at $59.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition at $69.99, which adds the Wulin Legend and Blood-Steel Form outfits, a digital artbook and the soundtrack. Pre-orders unlocked the Treasure Basin accessory and the Legacy outfit early, and both can be earned in play; neither edition had early access. Outside China it is a download only until Standard, Deluxe and Ultimate physical PS5 editions arrive in 2027.
-
Photo ModePhantom Blade Zero has no photo mode as of Nov 13, 2026, and S-Game's Nov 4 patch did not add one. On PC you can get close by setting Character Status to Always Hide and Interaction Prompts to Off under SYSTEM, Game, then capturing with Steam's F12 or Win + Alt + PrtScn. We think a photo mode arrives in a patch by Jun 2027.

The HuntThe Hunt is a required Phantom Blade Zero boss fought twice: on the wagon after the prologue, then in two phases at the Great Waterfall in Weeping Creek Valley before Crimson Forest. Parry blue flashes, dodge red ones and his hook, and in the rematch use the Scarlet Wraithblade and Jagged Steel. He drops the Hunter's Chain Sickle.

Patches and UpdatesPhantom Blade Zero's live patch is S-Game's first update of Nov 4, 2026, version 1.0302256 on PC and 1.302.289 on PS5: hit sound sliders, a rebindable Interact key on PC, much faster PC startup with ray tracing shaders compiled only when needed, fewer grabs from Hua, Deadly Betrothed on the two easier difficulties, and fixes. No newer patch had been posted by Nov 13, 2026. Before it came the day-one update 1.301.524, about 2 GB on PS5 and 5 GB on PC. Known PC issues: S-Game advises NVIDIA driver 617.42, and AMD lists sky and hair corruption on Radeon RX 9000 cards. -
A Soul's WorthA Soul's Worth is Phantom Blade Zero's tenth and last chapter, on Mount Soulrend: climb past the Mountain God Temple and the Frostcliff Cavern, beat the Crusher and the Saw, ring the Last Chance bell (the final point of no return), then fight Leng Tu's four phases and Meng Hua at the summit. With every True Ending step done, Zuo Shang, the True Long, follows. Game8 lists 24 steps.
