Announcement History
September 21, 2026 at 11:42 AM
Added the EP01 and EP02 run and end dates, the EP02 recruitment close and pre download, the Cologne hands on coverage, and moved the state of record date to 21 September 2026
Bringer has a longer public history than its international presentation suggests. It debuted in China in August 2023, three years before the international reveal, and the concept site that introduced it to the rest of the world in August 2026 is a late stage international introduction rather than an early tease. This page lays out the dated sequence.

The first promotional video appeared in early August 2023 and is the game's real starting point in public. It established the studio and its development subsidiary as the team, and it used terminology the game has since abandoned: the protagonist was 傀人 and the player was addressed as 凡星. Material from this period is still in circulation and is best treated as historical. See Development.
In October 2025 the game returned with a worldview concept video, a first closed test that ran from 7 to 11 November, and a named Mainland publisher. This is the point at which the current vocabulary appears, with 海履者 replacing the two 2023 terms, and it is where the record of the game as it exists today effectively begins. The publisher named at this point, 澄境星壹, is a subsidiary of the developer. See YHKT.
The international reveal landed on 13 August 2026 with a reveal trailer running two minutes and forty eight seconds, published in four language versions covering English, Japanese, Korean and traditional Chinese. The studio announcement overview followed, carrying the platform list, the engine and the plan for a hands on demo showing later that month.
A note on one date that is easy to get wrong: the international concept site's content window opened on 7 August 2026, a week before the reveal. That is a staging date belonging to the site's own scheduling, not a public reveal, and it should not be presented as the game's announcement date. The announcement is 13 August 2026, with coverage on the 13th and 14th.
The trailer is a cinematic. It contains no gameplay, no interface and no on screen text beyond its own narration lines, which are reproduced on the Setting and Story page. As of 21 September 2026 each of the game's four official video channels carries exactly one video and no devlogs or developer diaries of any kind.
As of 21 September 2026 there has been no release date announcement, no launch window announcement, no business model announcement, no overseas publisher announcement and no gameplay showcase on any official video channel. The first official character names arrived in the EP02 test notice of 28 August 2026 rather than in a reveal. See Release and Platforms and Closed Tests and Public Demos.
