Data & Sources
The countdown is calculated from published game rules. It is not a live game-server feed. Official timing evidence and calculated assumptions are listed below.
Last source verification: 09 October 2026. This is the date we checked the references, not a claim that today's server operations were observed. Future patches can supersede these rules.
Official schedule references

| Korea official update | Three-hour interval; examples at 02:00, 05:00, 08:00 and 11:00. | 03 Dec 2025 |
| Taiwan official guide: spacetime rifts | Ordinary channels open 15 minutes; generated locations can be checked on the game map. | Updated 17 Sep 2026 |

How the daily times are calculated
The 02:00 starting point plus a three-hour repeating interval yields 02:00, 05:00, 08:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00. Later daily times are calculated from the published interval, rather than treated as separately observed openings.
Taiwan uses Asia/Taipei (UTC+8); Korea uses Asia/Seoul (UTC+9). We create a separate absolute timestamp for every event and then convert it into your selected display time zone. This preserves differences across services, dates and daylight saving changes in your own zone.
What each status means
- Official schedule: the configured timing rule has an official source. The countdown remains a prediction.
- Scheduled opening: the next calculated timestamp from that rule.
- Expected entry window: a scheduled Taiwan opening is within the guide's 15-minute period. Verify that the gate actually opened in game.
- Pending verification: no schedule is published for that service here. Global timing is not copied from Taiwan or Korea.
What this tool cannot verify
Actual gate availability, maintenance disruptions, capacity, coordinates, character eligibility and permitted time after entry are not supplied by this website. The Korean entry-window duration is not verified here. For those details, use the game and its latest service-specific announcements.
Change log
09 October 2026: Initial source review. Taiwan and Korea interval/start time checked against official update text; Taiwan ordinary-rift window checked against the current official guide. Global schedule remains unpublished.
03 December 2025 game change: Official updates shortened the ordinary rift interval from four to three hours. This website uses the three-hour rule.
Maintaining the rules
Schedule rules are maintained as versioned configuration. An official notice should be reviewed before changing a service's timing. The page's verification date is updated only after a new review; the live ticking number does not mean the source was rechecked every second.
For a discrepancy, check the selected service, display time zone and the latest official announcement first. This site currently has no player-report submission channel.
