Nodusfall Release Date
Unannounced. The only official clock is pre-register plus a future-test survey.
Nodusfall does not have a release date, a release year, or a public beta calendar. That is the entire official answer as of 4 September 2026. Anyone quoting a quarter is guessing. This page is the file for that guesswork so the rest of the wiki does not have to repeat it.
If you want something you can actually do today, pre-register on the official site and complete the recruitment survey. That is not a launch. It is a mailing list. The beta checklist is how you keep the account, the hardware notes, and the NDA habits in one place.
What HoYoverse has actually said
The Japanese developer FAQ that Famitsu carried after gamescom is the line this wiki cites for platforms: PC is certain; other platforms and test dates will be announced on official accounts. The official homepage copy matches that shape. Pre-registration opened the night of Opening Night Live, 25 August 2026. The questionnaire on the same site is labelled for future betas, not a test that is running now.
PC Gamer’s Jessica Orr, writing the key-details roundup after the show, said HoYoverse does not tend to name a date until a game’s final open beta is close. She also noted the studio’s usual three-open-beta pattern and guessed a 2028 launch from that pattern plus the fact that Petit Planet is due this winter and Honkai: Nexus Anima looks like a 2027 game. That paragraph is press inference. It is not a HoYoverse slide. We keep it here, labelled, so you can see why forums keep typing 2028 — and why this wiki will not put 2028 in a title.
Liu Wei’s “un-miHoYo” comments do not include a ship window either. Production-age quotes conflict: the Japanese FAQ said a little over two years; TechNode’s 28 August Gamescom report said more than four. Neither number is a patch note, and neither converts into a date. The development notes keep those quotes together.
What is not a release date
- A YouTube thumbnail that writes “2027” over the trailer.
- A SteamDB placeholder, because there is still no public Steam page.
- A job listing that mentions mobile optimization. Jobs are not SKUs. Platforms owns that caution.
- A Discord “closed beta tonight” card. Compare any invite to the official links allow-list.
- PC Gamer’s 2028 guess, including when this page quotes it.
The game is free-to-play. That also is not a date. Characters unlock through play rather than random draws; cosmetics are under consideration. Money rules live on monetization. They do not tell you when the cashier opens.
How a future test will actually show up
When a beta is real, it will not arrive as a third-party launcher in a description box. It will land on @Nodusfall, @Nodusfall_jp, the official YouTube, or the homepage, then this page will inherit the window. Until that post exists, treat every “CBT code” as bait. The codes hub is empty on purpose.
A typical HoYoverse test still needs a HoYoverse account, a region that matches the mail, and a PC that can run Unreal Engine 5 at booth-like settings. There is no published requirements sheet. PC requirements only records booth rumors as rumors. Do not buy a GPU because a creator guessed VRAM.
If the first test is NDA, obey the mail. Hands-on coverage from Gamescom week — PC Gamer, GameRant, Inven, Famitsu, 4Gamer, Fextralife — is already public and is enough homework. Read getting started and combat rather than waiting for a leak build.
Platforms versus date
PC is the only confirmed SKU. PlayStation, Xbox, Switch 2, and mobile remain unannounced. Wikipedia’s infobox currently says planned platforms have yet to be announced; this wiki is slightly stricter on PC because the FAQ and the Cologne PCs both named it. Those two facts can both be true: PC will exist, and a storefront name has not. No date is attached to either.
How this page will change
The day HoYoverse prints a month, a year, or a test region, this page becomes a dated citation and the updates hub snapshot updates the same day. We will not backfill a fake countdown. For the show that started the public clock, stay on Gamescom 2026. For the press week that described the kit, use the hands-on roundup.
