Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium release window, trailer, and platforms

Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium is a game for fans of premium free-to-play games with an anime art style. It is a little different from most of the titles this description suggests, though. There are different regional versions, too, so that might explain why some folks have it while you’re still waiting.

When you think of an anime free-to-play title with optional microtransactions to back up its massive world and enjoyable gameplay, games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail probably the first that come to mind. However, this genre has grown massively since it was initially popularized in the west by miHoYo, and now there are many games within it, such as Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium, for you to choose from.

When is the release date for Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium global version?

The release window for Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium Global Verison is 2024. While the Chinese version of the game is already available at the time of writing, the title hasn’t made it to the West or any other languages. The best place to keep an eye out for updates on the release date is the official Girls’ Frontline Twitter account. Any updates will be shared there first, especially when it comes to pre-registration and bonuses for early sign-ups.

Is Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium already out?

Technically, yes, Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium is already out, but only available in China. This version was released on December 21, 2023, and has proven to be pretty popular. However, this version of the game isn’t available outside of China, so if you’re hoping to play it in a language other than Chinese, you’ll have to wait for the Global Version’s release.

What platforms will Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium be available for?

Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium will be available for iOS and Android devices, as well as PC via an online portal. This makes the game easily accessible no matter where you are and when you want to play it. However, we don’t have any details regarding cross-progression at the time of writing.

Based on other similar games, I’d say that progress will be continuous across all platforms. This means your progress will be linked to an account rather than a specific platform. However, this also means your progress is locked to a single email address and login, so you should keep that safe if you want to protect your level and all the characters you’ve acquired.

Where to download Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium

The best place to download Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium when the Global Version has been released will be the game’s official website. I’ve had a good look around there, and it’s got a news article for every update the game gets. This is great because it shows the game is active, and the download links or pre-registration links will appear there first as soon as anything new for the Global Verison comes up.

Is Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium a gacha game?

Yes, Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium is a game with gacha mechanics. This means that while you’ll get a set of characters early on and can even pull for new ones from banners at the start of the game without an additional cost, you’ll have to pay for new characters eventually.

However, the gacha mechanic will be completely optional. You can engage with it if you want new characters and are willing to spend some money for a chance to get them, but it’s not essential to the core gameplay or completing missions. But new characters can make harder challenges much easier when they drop to high levels.

The best Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium trailers

Below, I’ve listed the best trailers for Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium. A the time of writing, the game isn’t available outside of China, but I’ll update this section of the article as soon as any new trailers for the global version of the game are released.

The Centaureissi Character Preview trailer gives a decent idea of the types of characters available in this game.

The Stiens;Gate crossover trailer is a good one because it indicates that the game will receive more events like this in the future.
