Roadmap: Hutuo, Dual Spears, Roaring Sands
The global build has three dated beats left in 2026, and a short list of systems that exist in the Chinese build but still have no global window. Here is the timeline, with the difference between announced and assumed marked clearly.
At a glance
- 13 Nov 2026
- Hutuo (滹沱) — anniversary region
- Late Nov 2026
- Dual Spears (双矛 / 双枪) martial art
- 11 Dec 2026
- Roaring Sands (鸣沙), River Master, global mobile launch
- No date
- Ink Structure, settlements, player market
- Why it matters
- Material economy moves twice in six weeks
What is coming, in order
Hutuo (滹沱)
The anniversary region update. This is the largest content drop of the three and the one that will reset the material economy first.
Dual Spears (双矛 / 双枪)
A new native spear path on the Insight branch, with two spears and a swap between them. The build is deliberately not published yet — see the Dual Spears brief.
Roaring Sands (鸣沙)
The second region, the River Master story boss, and the global mobile launch arriving together.
Why does the order matter?
Because two of the three consume the same resources. Hutuo opens first and will absorb whatever you have saved; Dual Spears arrives while players are still spending on Hutuo gear; Roaring Sands then brings a new region and a boss check on top. A player who pre-farmed a speculative Dual Spears set in October is likely to be short of materials in the weeks that actually matter.
Should I save materials for Dual Spears?
No. Save materials for Hutuo, and treat Dual Spears as a decision to make after its mechanics are live. The path is design-converged, so there is no build to prepare for and no gear direction confirmed. Spending in advance buys uncertainty; spending after launch buys information.
What is still missing from global?
| System | Chinese | Status on global | Window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ink Structure | 墨构 | Not live | Unconfirmed |
| Settlement features (winery, inn) | 定居点 / 酒庄 / 客栈 | Not live | Post-2026 |
| Player trading market | 玩家交易市场 | Not live — no player-to-player trading | Unconfirmed |
The general shape is that the Chinese build runs roughly a year ahead. That gap is why so much English-language commentary argues past itself: two players describing "the game" can be describing builds twelve months apart. When you read a claim without a date, assume nothing.
Does the global mobile launch change anything?
The mobile client going global on 11 December means a large new player population arriving in the same week as a new region. In practice, expect the early weeks of Roaring Sands to be crowded, and expect guide content written in that window to be rushed. The mechanics pages on this site are written to be stable across that period: the Deflect loop and the gear chain do not change with a region update.
How should I spend in the next six weeks?
- Before 13 November: finish the gear chain on your main slot only. Do not start a second project.
- 13–30 November: spend on Hutuo. This is the intended sink for everything you saved.
- Late November: unlock Dual Spears, test the swap, do not convert gear.
- 11 December: clear Roaring Sands story, then look at the River Master fight with the projectile mechanic in mind.
What would change this page?
Any official date confirmation, any announcement of a global window for Ink Structure or settlements, or a balance patch that changes a build tier. This page is dated 30 October 2026 and will be rewritten when one of those happens, not before.
