The Tower of Fantasy global release date has been set for August 10 following a cryptic marketing campaign from developer Hotta Studio.

Tower of Fantasy will launch globally on mobile (iOS and Android) and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) on August 10 at 5pm PT, 8pm ET, and at midnight UTC (technically August 11). The game will also be available for pre-load beginning August 9.
