Release date questions
When did Lumi Master come out?
Lumi Master launched globally on Thursday, September 17, 2026, on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). The App Store lists 2026-09-17 as the release date and Bilibili's launch announcement is dated the same day.
Is Lumi Master still in early access or beta?
No. The September 17 launch is the full global release. Before that, the App Store listing already had test builds going back to version 1.1.1 on April 24, 2026, and players in some regions could play earlier test versions — the subreddit has reviews from April. The current App Store version is 1.5.4 (September 20, 2026).
Did progress from the test version carry over?
Bilibili has not published a data-carry-over statement in its English announcements. If you played a test build, check the in-game mail and the official Discord announcements before assuming a wipe or a transfer.
What were the pre-registration rewards?
Pre-registration passed 3 million players, which unlocked every milestone reward. Players who log in after launch can claim a Rainbow Lumi Egg for free, and the store listing promises an Ultimate Rainbow Lumi Egg plus bonus Energy at launch. A Nintendo Switch 2 was offered as a pre-registration lucky-draw prize — it is a prize, not a platform.
When is Season 2?
No date yet. Bilibili says each season brings a new theme and map and 60 to 80 new Lumi. Season 1, "Knights and Dragons", started with the global launch; the Season 2 date will be added here once it is announced on the official channels.
