The ray tracing and path tracing tiers now cite S-GAME’s own system requirements page of 12 August 2026: an RTX 5060 for 1080p at 60 fps and an RTX 5080 for 4K at 60 fps, both with upscaling on. They had rested on DSOGaming’s summary of the same figures.

The DLSS line now quotes NVIDIA itself: the PC version “will be enhanced by DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Multi Frame Generation”, with ray-traced reflections, shadows and caustics. It had said “DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation”, from Gamersky’s republication of an NVIDIA video of August 2025.

The endings section now quotes director Soulframe Liang directly: “We have 8 different endings in the game, depending on how many side quests you complete.” It had rested on English Wikipedia’s summary of that interview, which we had not read.

Added: Sixty-Six Days mode has an ending of its own. When the days run out a short cutscene plays, that run’s data becomes history for good, and the game asks whether you want to start over, Liang wrote in September 2026.

ReviewsPre-load and download size
Both pages gained a line of the launch weeks, a big-figure plate and a lead image; the reviews page an empty scoreboard for Metacritic and OpenCritic and a wall of preview quotes; the pre-load page download times at three line speeds and the pre-load hour on a city clock line. Same words.

ReviewsPre-load and download size
Two pages added: the reported review embargo date with what previews said, and the reported PS5 pre-load date and download size. Both stay marked unconfirmed until S-GAME or the stores publish them.
Added: two outlets reported on 20 October 2026 that the review embargo lifts on 26 October 2026, three days before release. S-GAME has not announced it, and neither report gives an hour.

Added a table that sets five soulslike habits (dying, checkpoints, stamina, difficulty and the parry) beside what previews and the official menu say Phantom Blade Zero does. The genre column quotes Wikipedia’s Soulslike and Sekiro articles, read 20 October 2026.
