Tower of Fantasy release date - global release times

Chinese developer Hotta Studios is currently cooking up an open-world action RPG titled Tower of Fantasy. As the game is developed in Unreal Engine, this action title is expected to be beautiful even on older mobile phones and tablets. Here's what we know about this game; from the Tower of Fantasy release date to how the game is expected to play.

First and foremost, we'll just put it out there that Tower of Fantasy is going to be compared to Genshin Impact a lot as it carves out its niche. Before that monolith hit its height, though, it was shot down for taking clear inspiration from Breath of the Wild. This one, at least, looks to be taking a little from sci-fi RPGs like Xenoblade, Phantasy Star, and Star Ocean as well.

While the game isn't out yet, there are plenty of other hits to try out. Read up on our Genshin Impact tier list and AFK Arena tier list for some gacha goodness, or our YuGiOh Master Duel deck tier list for some more traditional card gaming fun.

What time does Tower of Fantasy release?

Tower of Fantasy went live at 1am BST on August 11, 2022. For those outside of Europe, however, this generally means the game released in the evening of August 10, 2022.

• Freebie alert: Tower of Fantasy codes

The upcoming beta appears to be limited to mobile platforms at this time, but that's likely down to the team looking to test the game on a wide range of handsets. Genshin Impact followed a similar approach in its own beta days. Unlike that game, however, a console version of Tower of Fantasy does not appear to be on the cards at this stage.

Tower of Fantasy gameplay - is it an MMO?
