Nine Skies

The release date for Nine Skies is July 20, 2026, on PC. Developed by Ninefold, this arena shooter translates ancient Chinese mythology into a high-density bullet heaven where survival depends on mastery of the Five Elements system.

While your weapons handle the aiming and firing automatically, the depth lies in a strict elemental synergy between Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. With 45 characters and 90 weapons that can be upgraded via a star-rating system, the game focuses on specific build-crafting rather than just raw twitch reflexes. Success requires balancing these elemental attributes to trigger reactions that can clear the screen during the final waves of its twenty-stage maps.

Strategize your elemental loadout and buy it on launch day.
