Nodus Fall Beta

You can pre-register on the official site today. That is the whole beta story so far — no dates, no regions, no platforms attached to it.

Last updated 26 August 2026

There is a pre-register button on nodusfall.hoyoverse.com. Further down, the site asks you to follow official channels to “secure beta access, catch the latest battle reports, and join forces with fellow Weavers.” That is the entire announced beta programme: a button and a suggestion.

Polygon was blunt about the rest — no release date and no anticipated beta test date came out of Gamescom.

How to actually sign up

Use the first-party site. Pre-register there, then follow whichever official channel HoYoverse links from that page. Nothing on this site, or any fan site, can put you on a test list — an unofficial Nodus Fall guide has no queue to add you to.

Be careful with third-party “beta key” pages. A game with no announced platforms and no announced test window has no keys to give away.

What a pre-register doesn’t tell you

Not the test date. Not the region list. Not whether the first test is closed, technical, or a public network test. Not the platform it runs on, since HoYoverse hasn’t published one — seethe PS5 question for how messy that is right now.

It also doesn’t imply a launch window. Pre-registration opens whenever marketing wants a list, which can be a year or more before anything ships. Therelease date is still TBA.

When a beta would realistically surface

It would come as a first-party news post on the official site, the same channel that carried the 26 August 2026 Gamescom debut article. Historically these announcements arrive with a sign-up form, a date range, a platform, and a region list all at once. None of those four exist yet.
