The Inhuman Legacy Delayed to October 13 as China's 168 Yuan Price Sparks Debate

Immortal Legacy has been delayed from September 24, 2026 to October 13, 2026, and the official announcement also confirms its mainland China Steam price at RMB 168 for the first time. The notice says the first-person Soulslike action game's developer and operations team made the decision after a joint assessment with the publishing team.

As delays go, this is a relatively useful one. Instead of slipping into an undefined window, Immortal Legacy now has a firm launch date and a clearly stated mainland China price. RMB 168 is not especially cheap by current single-player standards, but it is not so high that it immediately puts people off either. It is the kind of price point that makes the free demo part of the decision-making process.

The official explanation is straightforward. According to the announcement, the delay followed a broader evaluation with the publishing team. With multiple high-profile releases packed into September 2026, the team says it wants to give players a little more breathing room and secure a more suitable market window. The logic is straightforward: even a promising game can get squeezed when too many big launches land at once.

Just as important, the delay is not being framed purely as a scheduling move. The official statement also says the extra time will let the developers continue polishing and optimizing the game so the final version launches in better shape. That lines up with what the team has already been doing since the demo went live: gathering player feedback on performance, combat feel, the first-person experience, and a range of smaller details, then folding that into later improvements.

For players who do not usually go out of their way for Soulslikes, the key phrase here is "first-person Soulslike." Soulslikes already filter out part of the audience, and a first-person view can make that pressure feel even stronger. That means the moment-to-moment feel matters more than the setting alone. The good news is that Immortal Legacy's Steam demo is currently free, and the developers say they have already completed multiple rounds of optimization and adjustments around the demo's most commonly reported issues. Those changes have been detailed in patch notes posted on Steam and the game's official social channels, which at least suggests the team is responding to what players are flagging.

The pitch itself is at least distinctive. Immortal Legacy comes from the creators of the Ghostrunner series and casts players as a former soldier in Napoleon's army who wields supernatural powers, fights horrifying monsters, and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens all humanity. At the very least, it avoids blending into the usual medieval dark-fantasy pile, and that gives it a clearer identity than many similar-looking store-page pitches.

If this is just one more upcoming release on your list, the best move right now is still to download the demo first. It is free, and the feedback focus is clear enough: check whether your PC runs it smoothly, see whether the first-person combat works for you, and see whether the camera and movement sit well with you before deciding whether RMB 168 feels fair. Immortal Legacy is now set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 13, 2026. Console players especially do not need to commit early; waiting for final-release impressions may be the smarter call.
