Rewinding Cadence is in development for PC, iOS, and Android. The first contiguous public PC test, the First Playthrough Test (一周目测试), ran April 28 to May 1, 2026 in mainland China after a March 30 to April 14 recruitment window, and pre-registration ahead of broader access launched first on mainland China's Android storefronts. A specific worldwide release date has not been announced.

Release Status
As of September 2026, Rewinding Cadence is in a pre-launch closed-test phase with no listing on any PC storefront. The most recent public PC test in mainland China, the First Playthrough Test (一周目测试), concluded on May 1, 2026, and additional beta phases are expected before the full release. The studio has not committed to a specific global launch date, and the wiki will not list a release date until one is confirmed by the developer directly.
Pre-Registration
Pre-registration is currently live on Chinese-region Android storefronts and on the BiliGame portal. Pre-registered accounts received the first round of beta-access invitations and are first in line for future tests. Global pre-registration through international storefronts has not yet opened publicly. International players who want to be ready to register the moment global signups open should follow the official social channels and the BiliGame storefront for confirmation, since the wiki will not announce a region-availability change until it is officially live.
Age Rating and Account Requirements
The studio rates the game for players aged 16 and over, and describes it in its own words as an open-world action game. The mainland build carries a real-name authentication system, which is a standard requirement there rather than a design choice.
Accounts that verify as underage are restricted in two ways. They can play only on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, between 20:00 and 21:00, for one hour. They are also capped on spending: under-8 accounts cannot top up at all, accounts from 8 to under 16 are limited to 50 yuan per transaction and 200 yuan a month, and accounts from 16 to under 18 to 100 yuan per transaction and 400 yuan a month. These are mainland requirements, and nothing has been published about what a global build would apply. See monetization for what the spending caps do and do not settle about the paid economy.
Cross-Save and Cross-Play
Public material has not committed to cross-save between PC and mobile or to any cross-play model. The game is single-player at its narrative core, and even if the studio adds limited social or co-op features post-launch the cross-platform behavior of those features has not been clarified. Treat cross-save and cross-play as unconfirmed until the developer announces a specific implementation.
Monetization
The game is free-to-play, and character acquisition uses gacha. Whether weapons, equipment, or any other systems also use gacha has not been published in detail, and the rates and pity tables that always accompany this kind of model have not been disclosed. As with cross-save and cross-play, this article will not list specific gacha numbers until they are confirmed officially. See the per-system articles for what is verified about each system's mechanics in isolation.
