Phantom Blade Zero bosses revealed so far
Updated 2026-10-16. Checked 2026-10-16.
Soulframe Liang says there are at least 50 bosses in 4Gamer's October 9, 2026 interview. That is an interview estimate, not a complete published boss checklist. The confirmed footage and named preview encounters below are only a subset.
This pre-release list does not claim to include every boss, optional encounter, phase or location. Trailer names and preview names retain their source attribution.
Fights that have been shown
The official Year of the Snake post identifies the Seven Stars Sword Formation. The Hunt and Hua Qianxiao are named in Shacknews' October preview; IGN published The Hunt footage on October 13.
Checkpoint behavior, phase retries and encounter order can change between builds. No universal launch-build phase-reset rule is asserted here.

Questions
How many bosses?
Liang reported at least 50 in 4Gamer's October 9 interview. A complete release-build list and counting rules are not verified.
Do bosses reset when you die?
A universal phase-checkpoint rule has not been verified for the release build. Do not assume every boss or difficulty handles retries identically.
