Notes

Public Closed Beta Tests#

Prototype versions tested prior to the official release. Three tests were "publicly" released.

CBT1 - CB1.0.0

CBT2 - 0.7.0 - 0.7.1 (Note 0.7.1 is the build seen on Global Youtube videos from around the date of release but it's likely, but not confirmed, that 0.7.0 was also part of the Public Beta in CN)

CBT3 - 0.9.0 - 0.9.9 (Note: Again much like CBT2, CBT3 started earlier in CN. I've confirmed that there were users public playing 0.9.3 at least but I've yet to find proof up to as far back as 0.9.0)

CBT1Version CB1.0.0 - June 21, 2019, to June 26, 2019 CBT2Version 0.7.0 and 0.7.1 - March 18, 2020, to April 13, 2020. Now with Liyue! CBT3Version 0.9.0 to 0.9.9. Chinese was June 11, 2020 (10:00), to July 23, 2020 (21:00) whilst Global was July 2, 2020, to July 27, 2020.

Other Closed Beta Tests have been found and leaked over time between each of the public CBT versions.

These tests were private with no footage shared online until the builds leaked years after development. A user who claims to have been given access to one of these betas stated their NDA ended around Mar 2025.
