Release dates & beta access

When can I play?

The announced global launch is November 4, 2026 at 15:00 PST — November 5 at 07:00 in Beijing and Taiwan. Those are the same instant: November 4 at 23:00 UTC. Beta starts differ by region. Official CN schedule · EN announcement

Beta entries are dates from each regional announcement, not exact opening times. No common worldwide beta opening or raid unlock hour is asserted here. EN access · TW schedule · CN schedule

Check your access before you buy

1. Decide which region you will actually play in.
2. Open that region’s official announcement and store from the source links below.
3. Check whether the exact upgrade includes beta access. An active subscription and beta eligibility are separate questions.
4. Check the beta date for your region; an English headline is not a China access date.

The CN announcement explicitly names the Skyborne Epic Pack for the October 6 beta. For international purchases, read the upgrade announcement and current regional terms. We do not assume purchases or access transfer between regions.

Why do dates sometimes disagree?

A launch on a November afternoon in Pacific time falls on the next morning in China. Some early English copy also used inconsistent PST/PDT labels. We use the launch instant that agrees with the regional announcements above. Beta end dates are omitted because the supplied research found conflicting regional reporting.

Your preparation list

• Compare Forever with Classic before choosing the experience.
• Separate base access from optional upgrades.
• Check Skyborne faction and class options.
