Archive / Change log
What changed
and why
A dated record of evidence changes. The archive updates claims in place instead of publishing duplicate rumor pages.
Quick answer
Evidence changes belong in the open.
Each entry below names the source that triggered an update, the claims it affects and the pages that changed. A verification date means we checked the source; it does not imply that the game itself changed.

- 《黑神话：钟馗》 — official game page Official
“PC+主流主机平台，正式信息请以发售前通知为准。”
English translation “PC and mainstream console platforms; official information is subject to the pre-release announcement.”
Chinese-language page, rendered client-side. Its 常见问题 (FAQ) tab is the first-party record for the platform line — “PC and mainstream console platforms, official information subject to the pre-release announcement”. No specific console, storefront or date appears anywhere on it.
“As the game is still in early development, all footage was captured in-game from a work-in-progress build running at a 21:9 aspect ratio. The final release may differ.”
The 15-minute reveal this archive breaks down. Embedded, not re-hosted. The quote is from the video’s own description — it is the first-party origin of the “early development” and “work-in-progress build” lines that Gematsu and VGC both carry. The description also calls the player character only “the protagonist”.
Links open the original page. We quote and link rather than re-host, and record the date each source was last opened.
