Nodusfall Test and Roadmap Tracker
What HoYoverse has signalled about test windows, dates, and post-launch content cadence — without inventing what is missing.
Nodusfall is announced, demoed at gamescom 2026, and not yet public. HoYoverse’s only announcement cadence is through official accounts (X @Nodusfall, Japanese @Nodusfall_jp, YouTube, TikTok, Discord, and the official homepage). When more dates land, this page is the first place the wiki logs them. For the show that started the public clock, see Gamescom 2026. For the press week that gave us boss names and Divine Skill flavours, see the hands-on roundup.
If your goal is to be ready for the next beta, use the pre-register guide and the beta checklist — those pages are the action layer. This page is the calendar.
Tests and betas
There is no public list of test dates. The press copy on the launch floor said: PC is the only confirmed platform at the moment; test and beta windows are TBA, communicated through official channels. The signup modal on the official Nodusfall homepage says “Fill out the recruitment survey for a chance at beta access.” The recruitment survey is the only currently-published entry point.
If a beta lands and you want a checklist for what to bring to it, see beta checklist. For what HoYoverse has and has not stated about how invites will go out, see PC requirements — the public spec sheet is also TBA but the official account will say first.
Release window
There is no release window in published copy. PC Gamer’s 29 August 2026 roundup speculated about a 2028 launch window as cadence math (HoYoverse tends to ship multiple betas before launch, with Petit Planet this winter and Nexus Anima aiming for 2027). PC Gamer explicitly framed the 2028 number as speculation, not an announcement. The studio itself has not published a release window, a closed beta window, an open beta window, or a soft launch region.
The first-party position is therefore: release date is unannounced. Treat any date, even from a tracked aggregator, as third-party speculation until the day HoYoverse confirms it.
Platform cadence
PC is the only confirmed platform. The studio has not confirmed PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, mobile, or cloud streaming. Job postings and a community-go-mainscape Q&A have hinted that future platforms may exist, but those are signals, not announcements. This wiki treats unannounced platforms as unannounced.
When a platform is confirmed, this page inherits the announcement on the day it lands. The PC requirements page inherits the platform-side spec at the same time.
Content cadence
HoYoverse copy uses phrases like “more regions later” and “more bosses over time” without dates. Comparisons to Genshin Impact are useful for what those phrases tend to mean inside HoYoverse’s publishing model (a six-week patch cadence, season-style banners). They are not the same as a Nodusfall-specific roadmap.
Until the studio publishes a roadmap or a season calendar, this page only records what is in published copy. We do not extrapolate from Genshin, Honkai Star Rail, or Zenless Zone Zero patch cadences into a Nodusfall calendar.
What the wiki will track
The wiki’s running tracker is intentionally short because the published copy is short. When more arrives, this is the order of updates:
- Test announce (region, platform, dates, NDA status).
- Spec publication (PC requirements, controller support, accessibility).
- Launch announce (date, pre-load windows, store pages).
- Post-launch cadence (season plan, banner cadence if any, regions).
Each of those is one line in this page when it lands. The detail migrates to its own page once there is enough of it to warrant one.
How to get the news faster than this page
Follow the official accounts. Anything in this wiki is downstream of those. Bookmark official links for the full list. The wiki will not chase every leak screenshot; when a piece of news is not in the official channels, this page marks it as not in the official channels.
For the show that started the public clock and the press week that filled in the demo verbs, the rest of the Updates hub is mapped out by Gamescom 2026 and the hands-on roundup. For the action layer between now and the next beta, see pre-register and the beta checklist.
