NTE release date coverage is now a live-game status page: Steam lists NTE as released on July 7, 2026, Google Play lists 999 Nights as live, and official patch notes place Shinku maintenance and launch on July 8, 2026 UTC+8.
NTE release date status
| Source | Status |
|---|---|
| Steam | Released July 7, 2026 |
| Google Play | 999 Nights is live |
| Official patch notes | Shinku maintenance on July 8, 2026 from 06:00 to 11:00 UTC+8 |
| Shinku board | July 8 after update to July 29, 2026 at 05:59 UTC+8 |
The NTE release date question has shifted from “when does it launch?” to “which update is live and where can I play?” That is why this page routes Shinku players to patch and banner pages rather than treating NTE as unreleased.
What launched with Shinku
The Shinku update added Shinku, Blushing Mirage, the Fighting with a Dragon story episode, Warren Continent access, Shinku social content, new outfits, and multiple limited-time events. The official article is the source for those dates and unlock requirements.
Availability cautions
The NTE release date page does not list Xbox or Nintendo as supported because no official store source was verified in this build. Regional store availability, account-linking behavior, and maintenance windows can differ, so players should check their platform store and in-game notices.
