Not Releasing Until 2026? "Beast of Samsara" Pre-orders Open, Free Shiba Inu Skin Included

Last night while playing with my roommates, they asked if this game supports online multiplayer. I said let's check the release date first, only to find out we have to wait over two years. That timeframe is much longer than the rest of our days in university. The pre-order trailer is already out, and the visuals look really interesting.

Officially, it releases in August 2026 on multiple platforms. By then, we'll probably have graduated and be out hunting for jobs. However, the free brown Shiba Inu "Little Ku" skin for pre-ordering is actually quite cute. If we could raise this dog together with our roommates, we'd laugh until our stomachs hurt. Heard the Deluxe Edition includes extra Amber, exclusive accessories, weapons, and more.

There's a scene in the gameplay footage where a Troll wields a log to fight. This kind of monster doesn't look like something one person can easily handle. Hope it doesn't turn out to be single-player only, that would be really boring. After all, the lively arguments in the dorm are the soul of gaming.

Plus, bantering between friends adds a lot of fun. Also, not sure if cross-platform play with friends is supported. If we can only play alone, might as well go downstairs to play basketball. The most ridiculous part is having to wait this long; it really makes people anxious. But as long as there's multiplayer, we're willing to try even if the wait is longer.

After all, good games are worth staying up late with the bros to explore. Everyone has already played the Pokémon made by this developer before. Wondering if new multiplayer gameplay mechanics will be added this time. Hope the servers don't disconnect often like the dorm internet cable.
