Mabinogi Mobile is set to launch in Japan on October 7, 2026 for PC, Android, and iOS, as a free-to-play game with item purchases. Nexon is running playable demos of it at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe.
Nexon has moved Mabinogi Mobile from a 2026 Japan launch target to a fixed date. The game launches October 7, 2026 on PC, Android, and iOS, free to play with item purchases. It supports cross-play between mobile and PC, carries over Performing and Production elements from the original, and adds features including the Stella Dome, an Assist Mode for easier dungeons, and a Chance Encounter system for matching players. Pre-registration opened on August 24 and remains open. The game launched in South Korea last year and won the top Grand President's Award at the 2025 Korea Game Awards.
The Japan push runs through Tokyo Game Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21. Nexon's booth in Hall 7, C04 is built around the starting village Tir Chonaill, with a campfire prop where visitors use an iPad. The demo uses premade characters and covers combat, dyeing, and rebirth. A combat quest offers Dual Blade, Mage, Flame Mage, and Dancer, then sends players into Rabbie Dungeon against a Succubus boss. The Japanese service opens October 7 for PC and mobile.
The PC original remains in service since 2005, and a separate project is underway around it. NEXON Korea announced on July 23 that the MABINOGI ETERNITY PROJECT, an Unreal Engine version of Mabinogi, will hold an alpha test in Korea from September 3 to 6, with applications running July 23 to August 12. It is the first test aimed at a large number of players. DevCAT has also described Mabinogi Mobile as a different bard's interpretation of the same world rather than a remake.

Players can customize characters, fight in dungeons, cook, and build homes. Content includes the Stella Dome, where players meet across servers, an Assist Mode for auto-progression in easier dungeons, and a Chance Encounter system that matches players for dungeon runs.
