Lenovo is bringing Phantom Blade Zero to its Legion gaming laptop range with four special editions featuring artwork from the upcoming action game. The models use existing Legion notebooks as their base, adding the game's protagonist to the lid for a design that carries the crossover beyond the screen.
The themed details continue across the keyboard, with custom spacebar and WASD keys, while some models feature red thread graphics inspired by the game's visual style. At the top of the range, the Legion Y9000P Ultimate pairs the special-edition design with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card.
Pre-orders open in China on October 29, coinciding with Phantom Blade Zero's PC and PS5 release. The launch gives fans a way to carry the game's aesthetic into their gaming setup, with Lenovo extending its licensed merchandise into complete gaming laptops.
