Phantom Blade Zero is shaping up to be one of the strongest GOTY contenders this year, as mentioned in several previews so far. The game’s pre-orders have already surpassed the expectations of developers, pointing towards a highly successful release and reception.
The S-Game founder and director of Phantom Blade Zero now claims that the kung-fu punk experience will feature an insane number of bosses and enemy variety. Players will find at least 50 bosses spread throughout a playthrough, and possibly even more.
Why it matters: Phantom Blade Zero is expected to take 40 to 50 hours to complete at an average pace with all the side content, so having a large variety of boss fights and weapons will ensure gameplay doesn’t become repetitive over a playthrough.
In an interview with Japanese outlet 4gamer, Liang Qiwei reveals Phantom Blade Zero is filled with unique bosses, with each dropping unique weapons. So, also expect an insane assortment of 30 primary weapons and 20 secondary ones throughout the game.
There are bosses as many as there are weapons, so there are at least 50 of them, and in reality, there might be even more.

Liang also adds that average enemies won’t be a rinse-and-repeat experience, thanks to a huge enemy variety. Each archetype will stand out from the rest, requiring different strategies to take down.
they create differences in their strategies and physique. The more you progress into the latter half, when you haven’t played yet, the [enemy] variety will keep increasing.
Elsewhere, the director revealed that bosses will fight like other players in the Hellwalker difficulty, removing patterns players can usually exploit.
Additionally, the game won’t force players to fight bosses at full health after dying to make boss fights more immersive and less of a chore. It is set to launch on October 29, 2026, for PS5 and PC.
