Another Eden Begins Release Date, Platforms, and Editions
Digital worldwide in September 2026, Japan physical the same day, western physical planned for 2027.
Another Eden Begins launches digitally on 17 September 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. Steam storefronts sometimes show 16 September because of timezone cutoff; treat that as the same worldwide launch, not a separate SKU. Wright Flyer Studios publishes. Studio Prisma (Masato Kato) develops the campaign. The game is a premium single-player JRPG, not a live gacha.
A free demo covering chapters 1–6 opened 2 September 2026. If you still need the trial, read demo news and Getting Started. This page is the edition and date sheet. The Nintendo Switch 2 trailer below is the short official look at that SKU; the longer 19-character gameplay trailer lives on the combat guide.
Platforms
- Nintendo Switch 2 Edition — Japan list price around 5480 yen, about $44.99 in western reporting. Physical Japan copies on 17 September 2026 use a Switch 2 Edition game card. An Upgrade Pass exists so a standard Switch purchase can move up to this edition.
- Nintendo Switch — Japan list around 4980 yen, about $39.99, with regional tags such as TWD 990 and HKD 249. Playable on Switch hardware; Upgrade Pass is the documented path onto Switch 2 later.
- Steam — same standard price band as Switch in several regions (about 4980 yen / TWD 990 / HKD 249 / about 128 CNY on some storefronts). Full controller support, Steam Achievements, Windows 11. See system requirements.
Japan also sells collection boxes at higher Japan-only prices. Western physical copies are planned for 2027 via Aksys Games, shown at events such as Anime Expo 2026. If you want a box in English in 2026, the honest answer is: digital first, physical later.
Languages and ratings
In-game languages: English (full audio), Japanese (full audio), Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese. This wiki covers English, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese. Ratings: CERO B (12+), PEGI 12, ESRB T for Teen. Nintendo’s UK listing notes Nintendo Switch Online features as supported; that does not add extra players. The campaign remains a single-player adventure.
What to do before 17 September
- Wishlist the SKU you will actually boot. Switch, Switch 2, and Steam are separate products.
- Finish the demo if you want a head start, then read save transfer so launch day does not overwrite the file.
- If you also play the original mobile or PC game, read the serial codes hub. Steam buyers claim through the official Begins site; Japanese Switch download codes are a different, tighter path.
- Bookmark official links for Studio Prisma, Steam, and Nintendo store pages.
Collection boxes, DLC tiles on the official site, and Upgrade Pass fine print can change. This page follows published storefront numbers and will move when WFS moves them. It will not announce the full campaign as fully playable while this wiki still marks the title as upcoming.
