Phantom PHANTOM OF INFERNO NITRO ARCHIVE Steam Launch
Worldwide store date, Japanese news date, price, languages, and what the download actually contains.
Phantom PHANTOM OF INFERNO NITRO ARCHIVE is live on Steam as a single-player visual novel. This page is the launch brief: calendar dates, list price, the intro discount, languages, extras, the Tokyo Game Show booth, and where to buy. It is not a patch log. Content matches the 2013 Windows reverse-port of the Xbox 360 remake. For the 2000-to-2026 product line, use the updates hub. For PC specs, use system requirements.
Release date
Steam’s store lists 3 September 2026 as the worldwide release date. Nitro Origin’s Japanese announcement and the official game page used 4 September 2026. The English startup manual is dated 4 September 2026. Both dates describe the same drop: a Friday in Japan and the Steam timestamp many storefronts show as 3 September. This wiki treats 3 September 2026 as the Steam worldwide store date and 4 September 2026 as the Japanese news date. Neither is a pre-order placeholder.
Developer credits: NITRO PLUS and NITRO ORIGIN. Publisher: NITRO PLUS. Genre on Steam: Adventure, tagged as a visual novel. Age recommendation: 15+. Player count: 1.
Price and introductory offer
Japanese list price on the official site is ¥3,500 (tax included). Steam’s English storefront has been listing $29.99 USD as the base price. Regional Steam prices differ; always read the number on your own store tab.
Steam ran an introductory offer of minus 30 percent at launch, scheduled to end 17 September 2026. That is a store discount, not a serial code and not a wiki coupon. This site will not invent promo codes. If the discount has expired on your account, the list price is whatever Steam currently shows.

Mature-content note from the developers: violence, gore, adult story elements, sexual content or strong language, and material that may not be suitable for all ages or for viewing at work. Read the getting started guide before you skip into Chapter 1 if you want save and password basics. Trophy hunters should open achievements after the first ending, not during the opening kidnapping scene.
The video on this page is the Promised Land theme song MV, a music video for the series theme, not a gameplay walkthrough.
Tokyo Game Show 2026
The official site lists a playable booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held 17–21 September 2026 at Makuhari Messe. Nitroplus is in Hall 9, indie game corner C-55. That booth is a show-floor demo of the Steam version, not a second SKU. Show hours and queue rules belong to the TGS and Nitroplus event pages, not to this wiki. If you are attending, confirm the booth number on Nitroplus’s event notice before you walk Hall 9.
Where to buy and where to read
Buy it on the Steam store page. There is no second digital storefront listed by Nitro Origin for this SKU. After purchase:
- Check system requirements (Windows 11, administrator install, DirectX 11, XAudio2).
- Read the official online manual if the executable fails.
- Use the getting started guide for first-hour setup.
- Keep official links for Nitro Origin on X, Nitroplus support, Wikipedia, and VNDB.
- When you want every route, open the walkthrough and the endings guide.
Launch-week Steam reviews are Positive (11 of 11 recommends). Recurring notes include official English text, a stable install, no autosave, and a 1080p desktop target rather than a new 4K master. Reception detail lives on Steam reviews. If you came from the 2009 television series, read Anime vs Game before you skip unread lines.
This wiki is unofficial. If Steam news or Nitro Origin revises price, languages, or booth details, those publisher pages win.
