THE DIRECT ANSWER

Einoow publicly announced Kanto Tactics as available on October 14, 2026 at 19:00:51 UTC. That is October 15 at 03:00:51 in Beijing. This is the developer’s public launch announcement, not the date of the latest patch.

The release date, your local calendar date and the current game version answer different questions. Here is the original announcement and the short update timeline.

The public launch announcement

Einoow’s October 14 announcement says the Pokémon/TFT-style game is available. The linked reply points to the free browser game and states that it is an unofficial fan project.

The timestamp is October 14 at 19:00:51 UTC, or October 15 at 03:00:51 in Beijing, Singapore and Hong Kong. Different dates on a social app can therefore refer to the same announcement. The post establishes the public announcement time; it does not document the first private test build.

Where to play the current game

Use Einoow’s official game page. It runs in PC and mobile browsers without a download or payment. This wiki supplies guides and does not host the game.

For an APK search, read download and mobile access. To start a story run after the newer updates, use Adventures. Kanto Tactics is not an official Pokémon or Riot release, and its announcement does not imply a Steam, console or mobile-store launch.
