Release Window
Lord of Mysteries is targeted for a late 2026 / Q4 2026 full release. SPARK NEXA has stated publicly that 'barring unforeseen circumstances, the game will launch within 2026'. The exact day-one date is not yet announced and depends on feedback from the Crimson Test (February 2026) and the spring / summer 2026 follow-up beta rounds.
Mainland China is the lead region. A separate global launch with English, Japanese, Korean, and other localisation tracks is signposted for later 2026 once the Mainland service has stabilised.
Platforms
Confirmed launch platforms: PC (Windows 10/11 64-bit) and mobile (iOS, Android).
Cross-platform support: the Gray Fog Test is the first test to open all three platforms (PC, iOS, and Android) at once, but the studio has not confirmed whether accounts or progression are shared across PC and mobile, so a cross-save guarantee is not established yet.
Console (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2): not announced. The studio has not committed to a console release.
macOS: not announced. Crimson Test does not support macOS.
Steam: no Steam store page has been confirmed. The Mainland China client distributes through the studio's own launcher; the global PC client distribution channel has not been finalised.
Beta Roadmap
The roadmap as currently sign-posted by SPARK NEXA:
January 15 to February 1, 2026: Crimson Test sign-ups (CN, PC).
February 5 to before February 23, 2026: Crimson Test live build with 6 of 22 Pathways playable (Seer, Apprentice, Spectator, Warrior, Bard, Hermit/Mystery Pryer).
Spring / Summer 2026: Additional CN closed beta phases planned. The next confirmed phase is the Gray Fog Test (灰雾测试), which SPARK NEXA confirmed on May 22, 2026 for a June 26, 2026 launch. The Gray Fog Test is the first multi-platform public test, opening PC, iOS, and Android simultaneously; it is structured as a paid wipe test (限量计费删档测试). Specifics including the playable Pathway roster, the Sequence cap, and the iOS and Android minimum specifications have not been published.
Late summer / autumn 2026: First global beta phases with English client support.
Late 2026 / Q4 2026: Targeted global launch window across PC, iOS, and Android.
Account and Progression
Crimson Test accounts will be wiped at the end of the test. Subsequent betas may feature limited progression carry-over for cosmetic founder rewards, but no gameplay progression or premium currency carries over to the live game.
Each Crimson Test qualification is bound to a single device. The 'one device per qualification' rule prevents account-sharing across multiple computers; transferring qualification is not supported.
On launch, account region is expected to be locked at first login; regional servers (CN, Global EN, Asia, Europe, Americas) will not share progression at launch. Cross-region transfers and global megaserver options have not been announced.
Pricing
Lord of Mysteries is a free-to-play game with cosmetic-driven monetisation. There is no announced upfront purchase price for any platform. See Monetization for the cash-shop model in detail.
Localisation
The Crimson Test build is Chinese-only: menu strings, voiceovers, and quest text. The full launch is signposted for multi-language support including English, Japanese, and Korean. Specific localisation tracks for additional languages have not been confirmed.
