Launch events include a 30 percent EXP buff, the hero Luna at account level 70, and 20 free summons per day. A Steam demo runs from October 8 to October 27 as part of 2026 Steam Next Fest, and demo progress does not carry over.","whyItMatters":"Opening Foundry across Steam, the STOVE PC client, and mobile, with existing accounts usable as is, means Smilegate is widening where Epic Seven can be played rather than asking players to start over.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe new server Foundry will be reachable from Steam, the STOVE PC client, and mobile, and Smilegate says players can sign in on Steam with their existing account information. The retention buffs start the same day the service opens: a 30 percent EXP increase, Luna at account level 70, and 20 free summons daily. Separate Arena events let players accumulate points toward equipment, growth materials, and hero skins, with login bonuses on top. The demo, running October 8 to October 27 under 2026 Steam Next Fest, includes the main story plus RTA, Labyrinth, and Automaton Tower, and its records do not carry into the official service.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The Foundry server and the demo's progress lockout are the same message: Smilegate wants Steam players starting fresh, not importing an account. The 20 daily summons exist to make that reset painless.","twitterPost":"Foundry and the demo's no-carryover rule point the same way: Smilegate wants Steam players starting from zero.","threadsPost":"Foundry and the demo's no-carryover rule point the same way. Smilegate is treating Steam as a fresh-start audience, not a migration path, which is why the level-70 Luna and 20 daily summons carry the launch. The 30 percent EXP buff shortens the climb the reset would otherwise cost.","newsletterBlurb":"Smilegate has dated Epic Seven's official Steam service for October 29, when the new server Foundry opens and launch events begin. Foundry is reachable from Steam, the STOVE PC client, and mobile, and existing accounts work on Steam as is. A demo runs October 8 to 27 under 2026 Steam Next Fest, with progress that does not carry into the live service.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"ASCII.jp\",\"url\":\"https://ascii.jp/elem/000/004/441/4441660/?rss\",\"title\":\"Epic Seven Announces Events for Steam Official Service Launch\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4609,"outputTokens":612,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1791541336,"createdAt":"2026-10-09T10:17:09.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-09T10:21:08.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-09T10:21:08.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_aca53597ec2a2eb28e2095c1","canonicalTitle":"『エピックセブン』Steam正式サービス開始記念イベントを予告","representativeArticleId":"a_0596131323707a7c63053eda","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"Epic Seven\"],\"studios\":[],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"release\",\"domain\":\"games\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-10-09T07:50:17.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-09T07:50:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-09T10:21:06.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"ASCII.jp","url":"https://ascii.jp/elem/000/004/441/4441660/?rss","title":"『エピックセブン』Steam正式サービス開始記念イベントを予告"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["Epic Seven"],"studios":[],"people":[],"type":"release","domain":"games","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":null}
