ANANTA release date: January 15, 2027

When does ANANTA come out?

ANANTA is scheduled for January 15, 2027. The date comes from NetEase's own announcement at Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, 2026, and three independent official surfaces repeat it:

Two of those three are independently consistent with each other: the official countdown's 115 Days from 2026-09-22 lands exactly on January 15, 2027, and Steam's "approximately 3 months" from 2026-09-23 is the same window.

Does it launch everywhere on the same day?

Yes, as far as any official source says. The official site calls it a global release and puts one date on the page; Steam carries one planned release date for the PC release; Apple's listing carries the same calendar date. No publisher statement separates the platforms by region or by date, and no store page carries a different announced date. All four platforms, with each store entry behind them, are enumerated on ANANTA platforms and versions.

What is not published: an unlock hour. Steam says the game "plans to unlock in approximately 3 months" and gives no time of day. Apple's listing carries 2027-01-15T08:00:00Z, which is 00:00 Pacific on January 15 — that is Apple's store-scheduling field, not a statement from NetEase about when the servers open. Plan for the calendar date, not for a midnight unlock.

Why the PlayStation Store still says the release date is undetermined

The PlayStation Store concept page for ANANTA (concept/10009022) reads:

- its release-date object is COMING_SOON with no value, and
- the call-to-action text is literally "Release date to be determined."

That is one store page contradicting three other official surfaces. We do not average them:

- The announced date is January 15, 2027 — that is what NetEase said and what its own site and Steam both publish.
- The PlayStation Store page is not yet synced to that announcement. It offers an "Add to Wishlist" action and no product, no edition and no price.

So the answer to "what date does the PlayStation Store give?" is "none yet", and the answer to "when does ANANTA come out?" is still January 15, 2027. The mismatch is the store's, and we flag it rather than hide it.

Is ANANTA out yet? Can I buy it?

No. As of 2026-09-23 the game is in its pre-release period on every store:

There is no price to quote because there is nothing to buy: the game is free to play, and no paid edition, pre-order bundle or special edition has been announced.

Pre-registration: what it is, and what the official page actually promises

Pre-registration is the only action that currently does anything, and it is open on the official site and on all four storefronts. NetEase publishes tiers, not a guaranteed reward list.

Tiers published by the official pre-registration page

Rewards shown on the same page

In the order the page presents them: 10K Golvent · 1 Clothing Dye · 1 Profile Card · 100 Jillion Vouchers · Character Outfit · 1 Car Paint Selector.

Honest limit: the official page shows six rewards next to six thresholds, but it does not print a tier-to-reward mapping in text. We list the two sets as published instead of asserting a pairing the page does not state.

Current progress

The official site's live counter is rendered by script, so it shows a placeholder in a plain page read. The same page's counter widget calls a JSON endpoint, and that endpoint returns the real figure:

This number moves continuously — the same endpoint read 23,844,733 on the morning of 2026-09-23 and 23,862,314 that afternoon. Treat it as a snapshot with a timestamp, not as a fixed count.

What happens if the date moves

If NetEase moves the date, this page is the one that changes, and it changes on the day we see the new statement — not on a later refresh. Two rules we apply here:

1. Every date on this page carries the field or sentence it came from and the date we read it. When a date changes, the check date changes with it; we do not keep a corrected date next to a stale check date.
2. A store page disagreeing with the publisher is reported, not averaged. The PlayStation Store mismatch above is the current example, and it stays visible until the store page is updated.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ANANTA release date?

January 15, 2027. NetEase announced it at Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, 2026, and the official site, Steam and the App Store listing all carry it.

Is it the same date in every region?

The official site calls it a global release and no official source gives a region-specific date, so the calendar date is the same. The unlock hour is not published anywhere.

Why does the PlayStation Store say the release date is undetermined?

Because that store page has not been updated to the announcement. Its date field is empty and its button reads "Release date to be determined." The announced date is still January 15, 2027.

Can I pre-order ANANTA?

No. There is no product, edition or price on any store. You can pre-register (wishlist on Steam, the PlayStation Store and Google Play) and nothing more.
