Holy War X is not out and has no release date. On 15 July 2026 the lead developer wrote that the team will not name a date, but does expect to release in 2026. As of 15 November 2026 the official Roblox page is still closed.

We read Roblox's public API for the official page every day. While the game is in development that page answers as unavailable; the day it opens, this table changes on its own.

What the developer has said

The most recent statement about timing is from the announcements channel of the official Discord, 15 July 2026:

We don't give a release date because we learnt our lesson last time, don't want to pool you all into a false hype chain when we're not ready either - but we do know this year though, so this is good yes.

Two earlier posts say what comes before release. On 1 January 2026 the developer wrote that the team has a rough date in mind for when “we want to have premium testing begin, then early access then release”, and that it would stay with senior developers until they were sure of it. On 28 April 2026 he added that there will be one more long video, not two, “then move forward to release”, and that the testers should be in the game before that video so they can appear in it.

What is left to do

The clearest account is from 24 July 2026. The map is now split into Southern, Central and Northern Britannia, and testing starts in the south. Two islands were still unfinished: the Outlands, a forest “heavily connected to the starting progression of the game”, and the rebuilt city of Liones. Both “are needed to complete southern Britannia which is crucial for pt’s to hop in”. The same day he said Galand was the only other boss still needed for the south.

After that the stated order is stress tests with the Capybara Testers, then Premium Testers, then holders of the regular tester package. None of those stages had been announced as started when this page was checked.

Every date so far

Holy War X has had one public date and missed it. Since then the developer has named a year, three years running.

How you will know

  • An @everyone announcement in the official Discord. Every date, delay and warning so far has been posted there first. How the Discord is laid out.
  • The official Roblox page opening. It belongs to the Holy War X community owned by Alphirex. How to tell it from the look-alike.
  • Premium testing starting, and one more long video on the Alphirex YouTube channel.

A page that says the game releases “today”, or that sells access, is not one of these signs. On 30 July 2025 the developer wrote: “The game does not release today. Some fake game has told you guys that it's coming out today, that is NOT us.”

Platforms and price

In the Movie the developer says the game will be “PC compatible, Xbox compatible and mobile compatible”, with crossplay, and that VR might follow much later. In December 2024 he added that low-end PCs will be able to run it. The game is free: “On release Holy War X is free” (4 January 2025).

Dates on other sites

Some game trackers and video titles give a month for 2026. We read every post in the official announcements and sneak-peeks channels and every Holy War X video on the developer's channel, and found no month or day for 2026 in any of them. Treat any specific date as a guess until it appears in an official announcement.
