What the Journey Test confirms
Official regional platform surfaces can confirm that China-region Journey Test is now open after its September 17, 2026 11:00 UTC+8 start, with pre-download from September 15 at 15:00 UTC+8. TapTap official posts and Weibo-indexed official posts describe it as a limited paid data-wipe test, with qualification rules, real-name requirements, and no minor participation. Older Biligame recruitment and reservation pages remain separate regional source context.
Use this as regional test information only. Do not turn it into a global beta date, global release window, global platform promise, final device requirement, or reward claim.
Official regional test rule
How Journey Test purchase reimbursement works
The official TapTap rules say eligible cash purchases made during the China Journey Test will be reimbursed to the same Manjuu account through in-game mail after the game officially launches. The first CNY 2,000 of eligible spending is calculated at 200%, the portion above CNY 2,000 up to CNY 5,000 at 150%, and the portion above CNY 5,000 at 125%.
Reimbursement mail can be received for 365 days after official launch and remains claimable for 365 days. PC, official Android, HarmonyOS, and the web store share eligible purchase totals for the same account. The notice says iOS cannot make these test purchases because of platform policy, although the same account can use supported official clients and later claim eligible reimbursement across linked platforms.
This confirms a China-region paid data-wipe test rule only. It does not confirm final global monetization, launch rewards, worldwide payment support, or a global release date.

What the September 17 schedule confirms

What is still unknown
No official global beta date, release date, launch rewards, final platform timing, or region-by-region launch plan is confirmed by the regional test pages. Keep those questions on the release tracker and FAQ until global-facing official sources publish details.

Beta and CBT questions
Is there an Azur Promilia global beta date?
No global beta date is confirmed on this page. China Journey Test is now in progress after its September 17, 2026 11:00 UTC+8 opening as China-region test context, and Japan or Korea CBT information remains regional test context.
What is the China Journey Test?
The China Journey Test is China-region test information shown on official regional platforms. Current official posts say the test opened on September 17, 2026 at 11:00 UTC+8, with pre-download from September 15, 2026 at 15:00 UTC+8.
How does Journey Test purchase reimbursement work?

Reimbursement goes to the same account after official launch. This is regional test policy, not final global monetization or launch-reward confirmation.
