Editorial Policy

Last verified August 21, 2026 · PBZ Wiki

This wiki distinguishes three states of information and labels every claim accordingly: confirmed by S-GAME, reported by press, and not announced. Estimates are never presented as facts, and no page speculates about dates or figures the developer has not published.

The Three-Tier Standard

Confirmed. Sourced to S-GAME's official site, PlayStation.Blog, a store listing, or an official broadcast. Stated plainly, with the source listed at the bottom of the page.

Reported. Sourced to press coverage rather than the developer — for example the PlayStation Store demo listing that appeared and was pulled in August 2026. Attributed to the reporting outlet, never stated as fact.

Not announced. Explicitly labelled. The standard wording is: “S-GAME has not announced X as of August 21, 2026.” Install size, playtime and demo dates all currently sit here.

Reasoning Is Labelled as Reasoning

Some pages include analysis — why a 50-day delay reads differently from a six-month one, or what systems a demo would need to teach. This is always marked as reasoning rather than blended into factual copy, because the difference matters to a reader deciding whether to spend $59.99.

Industry patterns are named as patterns. Where this wiki says most action-game demos run 15–45 minutes, that is offered as context, not as a Phantom Blade Zero figure.

What Gets Refused

Pre-release weapon tier lists built from trailer footage.
Install sizes, playtimes or unlock hours presented as known.
Predicted demo or review embargo dates.
Boss names, region names or item locations before the game ships.
Rewritten copy from other wikis.

Updates and Corrections

Each page shows a Last verified date. When a fact changes — a demo announcement, a published install size, a review embargo — the affected pages are updated and the date refreshed, along with the XML sitemap.

Corrections are welcome through the contact page. A factual error is fixed rather than argued about, and material corrections are noted on the page.

Sourcing Hierarchy

When sources conflict, they are weighted in this order: S-GAME's official site and broadcasts first, then platform-holder publications such as PlayStation.Blog, then live store listings, then reputable press reporting, and finally community documentation. A lower tier never overrides a higher one on this site.

Storefront listings deserve a specific note. They are authoritative for price, edition contents and platform, but their displayed release date is regional — which is why Steam shows October 28 to US visitors while S-GAME uses October 29 globally. That is a display difference, not a contradiction, and it is documented rather than smoothed over.
