Pre-registration is the way the studio collects interest in Rewinding Cadence ahead of broader access. Pre-registered accounts go into the pool from which beta participants are selected, and pre-registered accounts are typically first in line for early-launch invitations. As of mid-2026, pre-registration is live on Chinese-region storefronts only.
Where Pre-Registration Is Open
Region | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mainland China (Android) | Open | Live on Chinese-region Android storefronts, including the studio-friendly mobile portal used for the closed-beta selection. |
Mainland China (PC) | Test-time registration | PC pre-registration was tied to the closed-beta sign-up window; a permanent PC pre-registration channel has not been announced. |
Mainland China (iOS) | Not yet open | An iOS build is confirmed but iOS pre-registration timing has not been announced. |
Global / International | Not yet open | Global pre-registration through international storefronts has not been launched. The studio has signaled a global rollout but has not committed to a date. |
How Pre-Registration Worked for the Crimson Test
For the first PC closed beta, the Crimson Test, pre-registration ran on the Chinese-region pages of the studio-friendly mobile storefronts and the studio's mobile portal. Pre-registration closed on March 27, 2026, three days before the test went live. Selection was not first-come-first-served; the dev team reviewed registrations and notified accepted testers a few days before launch with a download link and a non-disclosure agreement covering tester impressions.
What Pre-Registration Gets You
Public material has been general about pre-registration rewards rather than specific. The pre-registered pool is the source for beta invitations, and pre-registered accounts are typically eligible for early-launch in-game gifts when those gifts are announced for a given region. Specific milestone reward tiers, pre-registration count thresholds, and the exact list of in-game items have not been published in detail and will be added to this article as they are announced.
How to Be Ready for Global Signups
There is no way to register for the global build today. Players who want to be in the first wave of global pre-registration when it does open should keep an eye on the studio's official channels for confirmation. The wiki will not announce a region-availability change until it is officially live; treat any third-party listing that claims a global pre-registration date is open as unverified until it is confirmed by an official source.
Common Pitfalls
Pre-registering through a third-party reseller or accelerator does not put you on the official pre-registration list. The official channels are the only way to reach the beta-invitation pool.
Using an emulator to access the Chinese-region mobile build is not officially supported and may complicate later account migration when global signups open.
Pre-registration does not guarantee beta access. Selection from the pre-registered pool is curated, not automatic.
