The Grey Fog Test Is Live: First Tri-Platform Beta Begins
Lord of Mysteries' second closed beta launched June 26 at noon — the first test running PC, Android and iOS simultaneously with cross-play, payments enabled and a data wipe at the end.
The Grey Fog Test (灰雾测试) went live on June 26, 2026 at 12:00 (UTC+8) — Lord of Mysteries’ second closed beta and its most important test yet.
Why this one matters
It’s the first time the game has run on PC, Android and iOS at the same time, with cross-play — the configuration it will actually ship with. The February Crimson Test was a PC-only technical shakedown; this is the full product shape.
Key facts from the official notices:
- Limited, invite-only slots. Recruitment opened May 22 on the official site; qualifications were granted in waves.
- Payments are enabled — a standard signal that monetization is under live evaluation.
- Full data wipe when the test ends. The end date is “to be announced.”
- Strict confidentiality: the official notice warns that leaking test content risks account bans and revoked eligibility.
- Six pathways playable: Seer, Spectator, Warrior, Mystery Pryer, Apprentice and Bard.
The bigger picture
The developers used the Grey Fog window to lean hard into the game’s MMO identity. CN press coverage around launch day emphasized club social play, large raids, world bosses, arena PvP (3v3/6v6/12v12), a hundreds-strong battle royale and the faction-scale “Four Emperors War” — the expensive multiplayer content most modern MMOs quietly skip.
With the CN release targeted inside 2026, the Grey Fog Test is likely the last big proving ground before launch marketing begins in earnest. Our beta access guide covers how testing works and what to expect next.
