Why it matters
The beta datapoint is concrete: a two-week window, pre-load three days ahead, and a wipe at the end, which tells returning Identity V players how soon Joker Studio expects the game to be testable at scale.
Key Facts
- Sea of Remnants closed beta runs from December 4 to December 18, 2026.
- Joker Studio, the developer behind Identity V, is making Sea of Remnants for NetEase Games.
- Beta play data will be deleted and not carried over to the official release.
- The test supports text in Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
A new PV shows pirates and navy factions in an ocean world. Entry comes by advance lottery or first-come, first-served signup after the test begins.
The test runs two weeks and deletes all play data afterward, so nothing carries into the official release. Language support covers Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese text, with voice in Japanese, English, and Chinese. Advance applications go through a NetEase account on the official site, with winners notified by email. Players who miss the lottery can join first-come, first-served once the test starts on December 4. NetEase has not yet posted the application periods or required specs, which it says will appear on the official site and social channels.
