This page is for release planning, not rumor tracking. It answers where the game is listed, which storefront has the dated launch, which platform details are still absent, and what a player should verify again during release week.
If you only read one page before wishlisting, read this with the PC requirements page. Together they answer the two practical questions: when can you play, and whether your system is close to the minimum line.
Date and Storefronts
Steam's English API and 505 Games list September 29, 2026. Japanese coverage may show September 30 because of time zone handling, so check the Steam page in your own region if you need the exact local unlock time.
No console version is listed in the current official store data. The game has full controller support on Steam, but controller support is not the same thing as a console platform. Until a first-party store page or publisher announcement appears, the platform section should stay PC-focused.
For a player deciding what to do today, Steam is the safest planning page. It carries the release date, wishlist button, language matrix, controller category, Steam Cloud listing, achievements category, and PC requirements in one place. The 505 Games page is useful for cross-checking the Steam-first platform wording and the later Epic Games Store note.

Language Support
Steam lists English with full audio and interface/subtitle support for French, German, Spanish - Spain, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese - Brazil, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish.
If you plan to play outside English, use the Steam language box as the current source of truth. Interface and subtitle support can matter more than audio for a management-heavy game because menus, venue details, relationship text, and on-screen instructions carry the important choices.
The useful launch check is not only whether your language appears. Look at whether the interface column is supported, because a life-sim with business menus, relationship choices, and city activities depends on readable UI. If the store language matrix changes near launch, this page should be updated before translated pages are generated.
Language support also affects community guide quality. If the game uses localized terms for ingredients, venues, relationship levels, or curfew warnings, the glossary should lock those terms early so translated pages do not drift away from the wording players see in game.
Official Links
Use the Steam page for wishlist status, regional unlock timing, language support, and PC requirements. Use the 505 Games page for the publisher's platform summary and high-level feature list.
The official links are also the best guardrail against outdated names. If a page still says Nivalis, confirm whether it points to Steam app 1488490 or an old article. The current player-facing title is Nivalis Nights, and the release tracker should follow that name.
Players should treat third-party store pages and news posts as secondary unless they add a direct official quote. Storefront data can change late, so a release page should always point readers back to Steam and 505 Games for purchase decisions.
- Steam app page: store.steampowered.com/app/1488490/Nivalis_Nights/
- 505 Games product page: 505games.com/games/nivalisnights/
- Steam news page: the title change and release date announcement is attached to app 1488490.
- Official release trailer: watch it for the current look at business spaces, city travel, interiors, and curfew pressure.
Launch Checklist
This is a pre-release page, so it should help players avoid false assumptions. A Steam date does not guarantee an Epic date. Full controller support does not confirm console versions. A regional article date may differ by time zone. The official storefront should remain the final decision point for purchase and unlock timing.
During release week, the page should be checked for price, final unlock wording, language changes, Steam Deck status, and any last-minute platform wording from 505 Games. Those details affect purchase decisions more than another broad feature summary.
If Steam adds pre-load, demo, edition, discount, or bundle wording, that should be reflected here before multilingual pages go live. Release pages are only useful when they stay close to what players see at the storefront, especially during the final week before launch.
After launch, this page should stop acting like a countdown page and become a clean platform record: where the game is available, what each storefront supports, and which old pre-release notes no longer matter.
- Wishlist on Steam if you want the platform notification when the release goes live.
- Check the Steam page again during release week for the final local unlock wording.
- Compare your GPU VRAM and RAM against the listed requirements before buying.
- If you prefer Epic Games Store, wait for a dated Epic listing or 505 Games update.
- If you need console support, wait for a real store page or publisher announcement.
