Mabinogi Mobile opens Japan character creation October 5

Japan's Mabinogi Mobile players will be able to claim a character name before the servers open for adventuring. Nexon says names are unique across all servers, so choosing another world will not make a taken name available again. Downloading the client early gives access to server selection and character creation.

The advance creation window starts Monday, October 5 at 05:00 UTC and ends Tuesday, October 6 at 11:00 UTC. Nexon's official announcement lists those as 14:00 and 20:00 JST. The Japanese launch follows on Wednesday, October 7, without a precise opening hour in that notice.

PC, iOS and Android are supported, with cross-play between desktop and mobile. The game is free with in-app purchases. Japan's App Store lists Japanese and English, but that listing should not be treated as an announcement of a separate worldwide service. The timing here applies to Japan.

Nexon reports more than 300,000 preregistrations. Campaign rewards include 40 fashion tickets, three dye selection boxes and a swordsman-school uniform set, claimable after service begins.

Advance character creation reserves the name; it does not let players begin the main game early.

Our Mabinogi Mobile catalog page already separates this regional release from the Korean launch in March 2025. Preload and name reservation are preparation for that same Japanese launch, not another release milestone.
