Armory
Chinese Weapons and Kung Fu Through Phantom Blade Zero

Armory
The armory is a reading room, not a shop and not a model download. It starts from weapons the studio has actually shown, then asks what a similar form means outside the game.
A game blade and a museum blade are different objects. This section keeps them in different pages so a trailer cannot be mistaken for a measurement.
Game arsenal
The August 2026 PlayStation post records more than thirty main weapons and twenty-five Phantom Edges. The Epic recap names several of them. The index enters those named weapons.
Weapon forms
The first full dossier is the flexible sword. Its public names do not all agree, so the page leads with that problem. The real-world note then separates performance blades, rigid historical swords, and fiction. No weight is estimated from a screenshot.
Choreography
The December 2025 Epic interview describes kung fu masters, wires, and a choreographer who tells the team how a blade is actually used, after which designers turn that into a cue a player can read. The June 2026 letter names three 2025 showcases: a seven-star formation, a lion dance, and a drunken sword. The flexible sword has its own page.
Visual exhibits
There is no 3D viewer yet. A viewer needs a model the site is allowed to show, a poster, and a manifest. Until then the pages stay as text. The typographic plates are not screenshots and not official art.
