Announcement Trailer
The announcement trailer was the first public introduction of the game and remains the highest-quoted source for the loop premise. It shows the Returner waking after the world's destruction, forming the contract with Chu, and committing to undo the Sunblight Tide. The most-cited line from the trailer is the Returner's vow: "No matter how many times it takes, I will rewrite the world with you." The trailer is also the canonical source for the visual style described in art-and-presentation.
Gameplay Showcases
The eight-minute showcase is the densest single source for confirmed in-game systems. It covers the duo combat loop, a d20-dice-system dialogue check shown end-to-end, an exploration segment in a populated town, and a clip of the star-wanted-system reacting to the player's behavior.
The twelve-minute extended PV expands on the same systems with more locations and additional party-composition footage, including views of spirit companions beyond the Returner-and-Chu pairing. Both videos predate the closed beta and reflect a build that may differ from the current Crimson Test build in specific UI elements.
Closed Beta Trailer
The closed beta trailer launched alongside the Crimson Test (首测) recruitment drive in mainland China. It is the highest-fidelity source for the build that ran from March 30 to April 14, 2026. Specific UI elements, sequence caps, party limits, and any numeric tooltips visible in this trailer should be cited only as Crimson Test build behavior, since they may shift in later beta rounds. See closed-beta for the full beta context.
Cross-Platform Showcase
The cross-platform showcase confirms PC, Android, and iOS as the build targets. PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch are not shown and should not be inferred from generic phrasing. See platforms-and-release for the storefront and pre-registration breakdown.
Promotional Cinematic and Tone Pieces
Several short cinematic cuts have been released as tone pieces. They are useful as visual references for the world's aesthetic but contain little gameplay-system information. They are not authoritative for any specific mechanic.
How to Watch
All official trailers are mirrored on the studio's English-language YouTube channel and on its Bilibili channel. The Bilibili channel typically posts the Chinese-language cut first, while the YouTube channel hosts the English-subtitled versions. The studio's X account and Weibo account post short clips and screen captures from the same trailers, and the official Chinese-language site hosts press-kit-quality stills from each release.
