Soul’s Blade Enters the Battlefield as Sanguine Arrives in Delta Force

Dark crimson markings and a flourish of the wrist introduce a different kind of weapon showcase. Delta Force × Phantom Blade Zero’s latest trailer puts Sanguine in the spotlight, bringing Soul’s blade into the tactical shooter with wuxia-inspired movements and a distinctive inspection animation.

The crossover is live now, with Sanguine leading a collection that also includes themed appearances for the AKM and SCAR-H. For players following the collaboration, the trailer offers a closer introduction to the melee weapon’s design and the movements that connect it to Phantom Blade Zero.

Crimson Markings and Wuxia-Inspired Movement

Sanguine’s presentation centres on three details: its dark crimson markings, its martial-arts-inspired movements, and the wrist trick performed during inspection. Together, they give the weapon an identity that extends beyond its silhouette.

The inspection flourish is particularly relevant to a melee cosmetic. It provides a moment to appreciate the weapon outside an attack, making its handling part of the design. For collectors, those animations can be as important as the blade itself: they determine how the appearance feels when equipped and examined between encounters.

The wuxia influence also gives the crossover a clear connection to its source. Phantom Blade Zero, developed by S-GAME, follows Soul through a world that combines martial-arts storytelling with its “kungfupunk” aesthetic—a dark setting where traditional weaponry and mechanical elements meet.

In Delta Force, Sanguine carries that influence into a battlefield dominated by firearms and tactical equipment. Its appeal lies in seeing a different style of weapon handling brought into that setting.

The Collection Extends to AKM and SCAR-H

The accompanying Sanguine AKM and SCAR-H appearances give players options for carrying the collection’s theme beyond their melee slot. The lucky draw also includes a themed charm, avatar, Calling Card, and spray, alongside supporting rewards.

That selection allows players to choose how strongly they want the collaboration represented in their loadout. Sanguine can serve as the main attraction on its own, while the firearm appearances provide a more coordinated direction for those interested in the broader collection.

The trailer’s focus remains the blade, and that makes sense: its movements offer the clearest expression of the collaboration’s martial-arts influence. The rifles extend the theme into the equipment players will spend much of a match using.

How the Sanguine Lucky Draw Works

The published event schedule places the Sanguine Series Appearance Lucky Draw between November 10, 2026, and January 25, 2027.

Each draw grants rewards and increases overall progress. Reaching specified milestones unlocks Sanguine-series appearances, while 100% progress grants the headline Sanguine appearance. A draw also has a chance to advance progress directly to 100%, unlocking the appearances together. The official announcement states that all event rewards are guaranteed within 90 draws.

For players considering the collection, the in-game draw screen is the place to review the participation requirements and current progress. The milestone structure is part of obtaining the collection, so it is worth examining alongside the weapon preview.

A Separate Legendary G3 Reward

The crossover also offers a gameplay route to another weapon appearance. The Collab Legendary Gift event runs from November 10 to December 3, with the Seven-Star Sword – G3 available through event progression.

Players accumulate survival time in Operations, Warfare, or Detonation to earn points and advance through milestones. The rewards include the Legendary G3 appearance and Tactical Armament Vouchers. This is a separate activity from Sanguine’s lucky draw.

That gives the collaboration more than one point of entry. Players can pursue the G3 reward through matches while deciding whether Sanguine’s design and animations appeal to them.

A Blade Worth Seeing in Motion

Sanguine’s strongest introduction is the showcase itself. The crimson detailing establishes its appearance, but the wuxia-inspired movements and inspection trick supply the personality that a still image cannot fully convey.

For Phantom Blade Zero fans, it is an opportunity to bring a piece of Soul’s identity into another game. For Delta Force collectors, it offers a melee appearance with a clear theme and an emphasis on handling. With the crossover now live, the next step is to examine the blade in motion and decide how it fits into your own arsenal.
