One Million Pre-Registrations on TapTap
Lord of Mysteries crossed one million TapTap reservations in March, then passed 2.1 million before the August 2026 China launch.
Lord of Mysteries passed one million pre-registrations on TapTap in March 2026 — first reported by CN financial press in early March and confirmed in an official announcement on Yuewen’s Lord of Mysteries portal on March 27.
Update, August 18: the official TapTap account now reports more than 2.1 million reservations before the August 21 China launch.
Why the number matters
TapTap reservations are the standard pre-launch temperature check for Chinese mobile-capable titles, and a seven-figure count before the second beta puts Lord of Mysteries firmly in top-tier-launch territory. It ranked among TapTap’s most-reserved upcoming games going into 2026 — remarkable for a game that had shown almost no raw gameplay until January’s Tingen trailer.
The IP tailwind is real: the source novel is one of the most-read Chinese web novels ever (and a global phenomenon in translation), and the 2025 anime adaptation put the setting in front of a worldwide audience just as the game ramped up marketing.
Pre-registering yourself
CN players reserve on TapTap; international players can register interest through the official global site while awaiting a global announcement. Our pre-registration guide lists every official channel — and which “official-looking” ones to avoid.
