Oct 11, 2026 — wiki research update

Official

Added the September Q&A, the China approval record and registration guidance. Page-update dates describe this editorial work; they are not the dates of new game announcements.

The official English Q&A was read directly on X. The main game hub did not render, so this review does not claim to have rechecked its live forms.

Sep 29, 2026 — China approval record

Official

The NPPA records approval for 源初之结 on September 29; its record URL is dated September 30. The listed categories are mobile and client. See the regional reference before drawing platform or launch conclusions.

Sep 23, 2026 — official community Q&A

Official

HoYoverse published ten answers, including the English names Divine Skills and Divine Drain. The updated systems and multiplayer pages separate those statements from earlier demo terminology.

Sep 8, 2026 — source review and boss index

Added the August 27 4Gamer report to the ledger and linked its findings from Gameplay, Weavers, Skills and the new Bosses overview. This is a wiki research update; the original report predates September.

A September DualShockers preview was located through secondary copies, but the original could not be retrieved for verification. No new release or download announcement was verified during this review.
