Broken Ranks finally has a real release date for its Android version: October 21, 2026. Whitemoon Games, the Polish studio behind this turn-based, grimdark MMORPG, confirmed the date on October 6, 2026, after a long stretch of regional testing on Google Play. If you’ve been following the mobile rollout, this is the one to mark on your calendar.
What happened
Broken Ranks has been live on PC since 2022, but the mobile version has taken its time getting here. Whitemoon ran a tech launch limited to the Philippines for a two-week Play Store test, then moved into a broader soft launch across the Philippines, Indonesia, Poland, and Singapore earlier this year to work out crashes and interface kinks. On October 6, the studio announced that work is done enough to go worldwide on Android starting October 21, 2026, with pre-registration now open on the Google Play Store.
An iOS release is still planned but has no firm date yet, so for now this is an Android-only release.
Why it matters for mobile players
This isn’t a quick mobile port slapped together to chase a trend. Broken Ranks keeps its isometric, CRPG-inspired combat and seven character classes (Barbarian, Fire Mage, Druid, Voodoo, and Sheed among them), plus the dismemberment-heavy combat that’s made it stand out on PC as a game that’s “not for everyone,” in the developers’ own words. The bigger deal for mobile players: Whitemoon is building in cross-play and cross-progression with the PC version, so a character you level up on your phone during a commute carries over if you sit down at a desktop later. That’s a feature plenty of bigger mobile MMORPGs still fumble.
The game is free-to-play with in-app purchases, and the studio has specifically said the mobile build will run without ads, which is a nice change from the typical free-to-play mobile grind. During the soft launch, Whitemoon was chasing a crash rate under 0.3% (roughly one crash per 300 sessions), down from an earlier 2% rate, so expect a mobile build that’s actually been stress-tested rather than rushed out.
Worth noting: a few systems, like the marketplace, arena, and PvP windows, weren’t fully functional during the soft launch phase. It’s not clear yet whether all of that lands for the October 21 release or rolls out in updates afterward, so I’d treat day-one as a strong start rather than the finished feature set.
How to get it
Pre-registration is live now on the Google Play Store under Broken Ranks’ official listing. The game unlocks for everyone on Android on October 21, 2026. If you’ve got a PC account already, keep an eye on the studio’s social channels closer to launch for confirmation on how account linking and cross-progression actually works on day one, since that wasn’t fully detailed in the announcement.
If turn-based combat and old-school CRPG vibes are your thing, this is shaping up to be one of the more interesting MMORPG launches on mobile this month.
