What is the global release date?
There is no global launch calendar date. Signals we track:
| Source | What it says | How we cite it |
|---|---|---|
| Steam store page | Release 2027 (year only) | According to Steam |
| Games Press (Nov 9, 2026) | Dawnbreaker schedule and test content only; no global launch date | According to Games Press |
| Gematsu / Pixels in Orbit | Early 2027 global window | Reported by those outlets |
| ComicBook via SteamDB | Steam moved 2026 → 2027 on July 22, 2026 | Reported by ComicBook |
31 December 2026 appears on some aggregator sites. Crit Pick notes that date lacks an official basis. We do not treat it as a release target.
When did China launch compared with global tests?
| Period | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| July 2026 | China live | NetEase Q2 2026 earnings call: released in China in July (transcript). PC July 9 and mobile July 23 are dates Crit Pick relays from media such as IT Home, not from the earnings call. |
| Feb 4–12, 2026 | Wanderer Test | Steam community notice: PC Steam only, limited alpha |
| Dec 3, 2026 | Dawnbreaker CBT | Multi-platform closed beta—details on how to join |
| 2027 / early 2027 | Global launch (window only) | Steam year 2027; early 2027 per Gematsu and Pixels in Orbit |

Regional differences matter for codes and balance: China vs global version.
Which platforms are supported?
Dawnbreaker closed beta (December 2026)
According to the November 9 Games Press announcement: PC dedicated launcher, PlayStation and Xbox Series X, iOS (TestFlight), and Android. Console builds join global testing for the first time. This is a subset of the eventual launch footprint.
Planned global launch platforms
The Games Press post does not list retail launch storefronts; it only names test platforms. For the full launch picture, Gematsu and Pixels in Orbit report:
- PS5 (including Pro), Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, and a NetEase dedicated launcher
- iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play)
- Xbox Cloud Gaming and ROG Xbox Ally X (reported—treat as secondary unless repeated on an official post)

Hardware planning: system requirements (Steam sheet plus older Wanderer Test tables).
Languages at launch
The Steam store page (November 10, 2026) lists full audio in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, with interface and subtitles in eight languages including Traditional Chinese, Korean, Latin American Spanish, French, and German. Pixels in Orbit reported a similar split in November 9 coverage.
What is free-to-play and what is monetized?
The Steam page lists Free To Play and In-App Purchases in Features (with Steam Achievements, Stats, and Family Sharing). A February 2026 TechRadar interview with creative director Alfie (reported) mentions gacha-style characters, cosmetics, and a paid battle pass, with a stated design goal to avoid pay-to-win. Exact rates are not published—see gacha and monetization.

How does Dawnbreaker fit the roadmap?
Dawnbreaker is the December 2026 global closed beta, not the commercial launch. It adds consoles and mobile to testing and scales up from Wanderer. Full shared-world multiplayer is planned after launch per the announcement, not inside this test.
Sign-up path: pre-registration rewards and how to join the closed beta. For combat loops from the February test, how it plays stays clearly labeled as Wanderer-era coverage.
When NetEase announces a concrete global date, we will update this page, the home timeline, and the Steam citation in the same edit.
