Three Chinese Games Nearing Release: Xingtu Tiancheng Sets October 22 Launch
Three Chinese-developed releases are moving toward or into service at once, and two of them are skipping or narrowing beta cycles to get there, which tells you the release calendars are being compressed rather than extended.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Chinese RPG Xingtu Tiancheng gets an October 22 release date, skipping a second beta test, with pre-registration running since August and a first beta in September. Rakshasa Street: Return of the King opened App Store reservations on October 6, with a third beta test from October 15 and a Q4 2026 TapTap window. Shen Yuan launched on TapTap on October 9 for Android, with iOS timing unresolved.
Three Chinese-developed games are at different points on the release track, and two of them are moving faster than their test schedules imply. Xingtu Tiancheng, a fantasy RPG with steampunk and myth elements and a card-battle system, locked an October 22 date after a single beta test in September, so it goes to service without a second. Rakshasa Street: Return of the King, the 3D action adaptation of the Chinese manga and anime, opened App Store reservations on October 6 and runs a third beta from October 15, with a release window listed as Q4 2026. Shen Yuan, a 2D side-scrolling raising RPG built around armed warships and girl characters, went into official service on TapTap on October 9 for Android, with the iOS version left unscheduled pending review.
