Official trailer timeline
| Date | Official video | How to use it now |
|---|---|---|
| Aug. 12, 2026 | Pre-Order Trailer | The newest full trailer and the best starting point for current official footage. |
| June 2, 2026 | Special Teaser | A valid PlayStation teaser, but any September 9 release timing attached to it has been superseded. |
| Dec. 11, 2025 | Release Date Announcement Trailer | The footage remains official; its September 9, 2026 date is outdated. The current date is October 29, 2026. |
| Jan. 21, 2025 | Year of the Snake Trailer | Official evidence for the shown Seven Stars and String Puppet sequence, not a complete boss guide. |
| June 7, 2024 | First Gameplay Trailer | Older official footage that still supports the two-main-weapon, two-Phantom-Edge loadout and the described parry and dodge systems. |
Is the 2024 trailer still reliable?
Yes, within its limits. It is an official S-GAME video, and its core combat description remains consistent with the current official store information. Its age only becomes a problem if it is presented as the newest trailer or used to prove final launch details that it never confirmed.
This site now features the August 2026 trailer first. Older videos stay in the timeline because they provide useful historical evidence.

What trailers do not prove
Trailers do not establish final damage values, a complete boss list, best builds, a public downloadable demo, exact launch unlock times or a full walkthrough. Those details need separate official documentation or released-game evidence.
