Release date, price and platforms
Legion Was Here launches October 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM PDT, which is 5:00 PM UTC and 1:00 AM on October 14 in Beijing. It is Windows PC only through Steam, with twelve languages and no announced price.
Legion Was Here launches on October 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM PDT. That date came from the developer's own Steam announcement, which also gave the times as 1:00 PM EDT, 6:00 PM BST and 7:00 PM CEST — a release scheduled around the United States and Europe rather than a midnight unlock.
The demo has been available since July 29, 2025, so there is nothing to wait for.

Which platforms
PC, through Steam, on Windows only.
The Steam listing marks Windows supported and leaves macOS and Linux unsupported. That is not a store-page oversight: after Linux players found a workaround for the demo's missing runtime, the developer replied that he cannot publish a Linux build right now because he does not have the resources. There is no announced console, Mac or mobile version, and no Steam Deck build — see the demo guide for what Linux players have tried.
Price
Not announced. The Steam listing shows no price and no pre-purchase option as of October 2, 2026, so there is nothing to pre-order and no regional pricing to report. Any figure you see elsewhere before launch is not from the developer or the publisher.
Languages
Twelve interface and subtitle languages ship with the full game:
English, French, Simplified Chinese, German, Spanish (Spain), Russian, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Spanish (Latin America) and Korean.
The demo has three of those: English, French and Simplified Chinese. The developer has explained that because many clues sit inside images rather than in text, adding a language means reworking visual assets, and has said the studio will watch wishlist growth by region to prioritise what comes next.
System requirements
Only minimum requirements are published. There is no recommended specification yet.
| Component | Minimum |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows Vista or newer |
| Processor | 1 GHz |
| Memory | 1 GB RAM |
| Graphics | WebGL-compatible graphics card |
| DirectX | Version 9.0 |
| Storage | 1 GB available space |
The developer adds one warning that is worth reading twice: the game may show slowdowns on some devices with two GPUs, typically laptops, and requires you to specify in the NVIDIA settings which GPU to use for gameplay, because the default choice may be unsuitable. That is a documented behaviour, not a support rumour.
How long the game is
Approximately 3 to 4 hours, according to the developer's own description. Missions can be replayed to improve your score, and the game's missions do not unfold the same way every time, so the figure is the length of a first pass rather than the time to a full match.
What has been announced so far
- Thirteen thousand wishlists, reached before the release date was set, per the developer's June 2026 announcement
- A demonstrably positive demo reception: 82 Steam reviews at Very Positive as of the last check
- A solo development cycle, with the developer stating the game was made entirely alone except for the saxophone parts, which were played by a friend, and without the use of generative AI
- Participation in the Storyteller's Festival in May 2026
There is no announced season pass, no deluxe edition and no day-one DLC.
FAQ
What time does Legion Was Here unlock?
10:00 AM PDT on October 13, 2026, which is 5:00 PM UTC and 1:00 AM on October 14 in Beijing.
Is Legion Was Here coming to consoles?
No console version has been announced. The only platform listed is Windows PC through Steam, and the developer has said a Linux build is not currently possible.
Can I pre-order it?
No. The Steam page offers no pre-purchase and shows no price, so there is nothing to buy yet.
Does the game have achievements?
Steam shows no achievement list for the full game yet, which is normal before release. The demo has none either, and a demo player's request for quirky achievements was met with a celebratory reply rather than a confirmation.
