About this calendar and how we check dates
New MMORPGs, gacha and anime games, online shooters and strategy games, with every beta and the big patches, seasons and expansions of games people already play. Month by month on a calendar, with a week view for full details and a list for titles still waiting for a date.
How we check dates
- Online games only: MMOs, gacha and anime games, online shooters and battle royales, strategy and MOBA titles, plus major patches, seasons and expansions of big live games.
- New games covers releases, betas and early access, New platform launches (a mobile game arriving on Steam or PC) and New server openings (fresh servers, worlds and economies). Updates covers expansions, patches and seasons; Events covers livestreams, tournaments, in-game events and deadlines.
- Days are UTC days. When the publisher gives an exact time, we store it with its time zone (for example 19:00 PDT) and place the entry on the UTC day it falls on, so a 19:00 PDT launch on 27 October sits on 28 October. Without a time, the day is the publisher's date.
- Confirmed means the publisher or developer announced the date. A link to the source is shown only when it is an official announcement: the publisher's or developer's site, an official store page or Steam news, or an official press release.
- Expected means a window rather than a day, or a date expected from the game's usual update schedule that the publisher has not announced yet.
- Unconfirmed means the date is listed on a store page or reported, but the publisher has not confirmed it. Rumors go under Date TBA.
- When the same game is listed by several sources we keep one entry with the most precise official date, and a separate entry only where a region gets a different date.
- Every entry shows the day its date was last checked. The calendar is rebuilt every day; found a wrong date? Tell us in Discord.
