What official sources confirm
Event dates: August 26–30, 2026.
Official announcement promises a playable appearance and a new trailer.
How to read the available evidence
An announcement describes future plans, not completed event results. Before the show, this page does not claim that the demo contains a particular chapter, build, platform, language, boss, or release-date reveal. After the event, any update should link the published trailer or first-party recap and distinguish hands-on reports from official specifications.
The game has not launched. Trailers and developer interviews establish direction, but they do not guarantee final numbers, controls, optimal strategies, or content structure. This guide gives current NEKCOM and Steam pages priority; older announcements remain historical evidence and yield when newer first-party listings conflict.
How the sources were weighed
This page ranks evidence by how directly it supports the search question. Developer and official game pages establish the setting, platforms, and announcements. Steam establishes current PC store status and listed requirements. Community directories can show that a destination exists, but they do not replace a first-party statement.
