When it launches
Koei Tecmo announced February 25, 2027 on September 8, 2026. The Steam store page shows the same release window, and digital pre-orders opened alongside the November 9 story trailer.
Steam’s API returns February 24, 2027 for the US store. That is most likely Steam displaying the date in a different time zone; the official English and Japanese pages both say February 25. We are treating February 25 as the official date.
The exact unlock hour has not been announced. Koei Tecmo has not posted a regional unlock schedule, so there is nothing reliable to convert into your local time yet.
Price
US Steam prices at our November 14, 2026 check:
| Edition | US Steam price |
|---|---|
| Standard | $69.99 |
| Digital Deluxe | $79.99 |

Regional pricing varies. Steam discussions from players in several countries show lower local prices, and the UK official page does not list a price at all. Check your own store page before ordering.
Platforms
- PlayStation 5
- Nintendo Switch 2
- Xbox Series X|S
- Steam (Windows)
The game is single-player. No co-op, multiplayer or cross-save feature has been announced. The Switch 2 physical release is a Game-Key Card, which requires a download — see platforms and languages.
Is there a demo?
No public demo has been announced. There was a playable build at Tokyo Game Show 2026, and the November 9, 2026 special program showed more than 20 minutes of gameplay, including the first look at the Switch 2 version. Those were press/event builds, not a demo you can download.
If Koei Tecmo releases a public demo, this page and the FAQ will be updated.
