Official trailer timeline
| Date | Official video | How to use it now |

| Aug. 18, 2026 | Enter the Wulin: Gameplay & Story Deep Dive | The newest full official video and the current source for weapons, difficulty, side quests, and the Wulin. |
| Aug. 12, 2026 | Pre-Order Trailer | The current story-focused pre-order trailer, but no longer the newest full video. |
| Aug. 6, 2026 | Pre-Order Teaser | An official 35-second lead-in to the pre-order launch; it is not the newest full trailer. |
| June 2, 2026 | Special Teaser | A valid PlayStation teaser, but any September 9 release timing attached to it has been superseded.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| Dec. 11, 2025 | Release Date Announcement Trailer | The footage remains official; its September 9, 2026 date is outdated.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 18 deep dive 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.
