Crymelight is set for release on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 at 0:00 on November 5, 2026. The Steam version may miss that date because pre-release review is not finished, and Furyu says the Steam release date and time are undecided.
Crymelight is an action game from Furyu planned for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam. Furyu announced in July that the game would be playable at ChinaJoy 2026, held from July 31 to August 3 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, alongside the studio's other upcoming title Anomalith. The same announcement described the combat: enemies' death throes, generated by defeating them with sin-based weapons, power acceleration actions, and players collect trump-style skill cards to form poker hands. Crymelight was also set to appear at Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 on August 8, with UI updates and tutorial additions aimed at improving playability. At that point Furyu listed a November 5 release.
By November 4, the release had split in two. Furyu warned that the Steam version may miss November 5 because pre-release review is not finished. The game was submitted about a month ahead of the date, and the company says the completion date is unconfirmed, leaving the Steam release date and time undecided. The PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions are still set for 0:00 on November 5, 2026.
What is settled is the console date and the game's core systems. What is not settled is when Steam players get the game. Furyu has not given a new Steam date, and the store page demo stays open until the full version ships.

Furyu has warned that the Steam version of CRYMELIGHT may miss its November 5, 2026 release because pre-release review is not finished. The game was submitted about a month ahead of the date, and the company says the completion date is unconfirmed, leaving the Steam release date and time undecided. The PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions are still set for 0:00 on November 5, 2026.
Furyu announced that its two upcoming titles, Anomalith and Crymelight, will have playable demos at ChinaJoy 2026, held from July 31 to August 3 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Both games are planned for release on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam. Anomalith is set in a Showa-era retro Japan and features a liminal-space-like Otherworld for exploration, with combat that combines customizable gun action and Aberration Skills for offense and defense. Crymelight uses enemies' death throes, generated by defeating them with sin-based weapons, to power acceleration actions, and includes a build system where players collect trump-style skill cards to form poker hands. Crymelight will also be exhibited at Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 on August 8, with UI updates and tutorial additions improving playability. Anomalith is scheduled for release on October 29, and Crymelight on November 5.
