Updated September 16, 2026
Lord of Mysteries launched in mainland China on August 21, 2026. The official China site now offers PC, Android and iOS downloads and lists PC, iOS, Android and HarmonyOS cross-platform support. The English site does not list a global release date as of September 16, 2026.
Supported platforms and downloads
Use the official China download page for the current client. It links to the PC launcher, Android APK, Chinese App Store listing and TapTap PC download.
The same page offers START cloud gaming, with Windows and Mac download options. The Mac option runs through the START cloud service. Check the service’s current access requirements before installing. The page does not list a console version.
For installation details, see our China download and install guide and system requirements.
China launch schedule
SPARK NEXA announced the August 21 launch on July 10. Pre-download opened on August 19 at 08:00 China Standard Time, followed by character pre-creation at 12:00. Both events applied to the China launch.
The Chinese App Store previously displayed November 1, 2026. That was a storefront estimate. The official August 21 announcement replaced it.
China access limits
These downloads are for the China service. A download link does not establish that an overseas account can log in. Check the official client and service terms for current account and verification requirements. We have not verified an overseas login route or a WeChat workaround.
Use the official download links. Do not buy accounts or verification services from third parties.
What about a global release?
The official English website links to SPARK NEXA’s English X, YouTube and Facebook channels and an interest form. On September 16, it does not provide a release date, global client download or dated global registration offer.
An interest form is not confirmation of access, supported regions, languages or launch rewards. See our registration and official links guide for the available channels.
