Batomon Showdown Season 0, Demo Takedown, and the Launch Set
The demo taught the loop. The full set is the reason the 88-name catalog will not stay complete.
berrymint scheduled two stacked dates that players keep mixing up. September 14, 2026 at 9:00am EST the public demo comes down and Season 0 ends. September 15, 2026 the full Steam client is planned to unlock, with Android planned the same day. This page is the calendar and the cosmetic sheet. Storefronts and specs stay on release and platforms. Numbers stay on patch notes.
Steam’s own store widget still listed the game as not yet unlocked in the days before the 15th. This wiki therefore still treats the product as upcoming until a post-launch catalog replaces Balance 14. We will not write that the full client has shipped while the store still says coming soon.
What Season 0 actually awards
The September 6 Steam news is blunt: ending the demo also ends Season 0 and grants small cosmetic end-of-season rewards. Badge case skins are the named prize:
- Reach Gold in Ranked during Season 0: one badge case skin.
- Reach Master: a second, higher skin.
Those are cosmetics. They do not change Formiqueen’s haste, Craghorn’s $30 tag, or Second Chance. If you still need a 10-win before the demo vanishes, play Casual first, then Ranked. Star math is wins minus 5. Overwriting a ranked file scores immediately. How ranks work and the 10-win guide are the useful panic pages, not this one.
Do not expect a seasonal MMR reset in the demo snapshot. Ranked notes for the demo said no seasonal reset. Launch could change that; until a patch says so, your division is still your division.
Demo takedown versus full client
Demo app 4646330 taught the first set: 88 Batomon, 17 trainers, 57 trinkets, 41 items, 12 events in the companion catalog. The full app is 4557380. Developer posts during the demo: multiple sets of 50+ Batomon, extra trainers, extra trinkets, extra events. The mid-article video is a full-release set session. Treat it as a tour of how much the shop can change, not as a day-one shopping list you can copy from a June VOD.
If you learned on the demo:
- Keep the loop: untimed shop, six slots, saved boards, 10 wins, one Second Chance. Getting Started still applies.
- Throw away the assumption that Bambudo / Formiqueen / Berroon are the whole game. Tier lists will need new rows when the set select exists.
- Server maintenance ran on September 9 (about 3:00 PM EST, 2–3 hours) to prepare launch. A failed search on launch morning is a links problem first.
Progress carry from demo to full client is not promised in public notes we use. Ranked MMR, Batopedia stickers, and Season 0 skins may or may not migrate. Play as if you might start a fresh profile.
What “new set” means for shops
A set is a pool. If the title screen lets you pick a set, treat it like a format: the comp list you memorized in the demo may be the wrong pool. Formiqueen Commons can still be legal in set one and absent in set two. We will not invent set names before they ship.
Android is planned alongside Steam. iOS is delayed by App Store approval. Details on the Android page. Steam Deck reports from the itch/demo era say desktop mode works better than the default overlay. That is a controls footnote, not a Deck Verified claim — Steam still listed compatibility as unknown.
How to spend the last demo days
If the demo is still up when you read this: finish one Casual 10-win, then one Gold push if you care about the skin, then stop overwriting ranked files. If the demo is already down: wishlist 4557380, read items and trinkets so the extra set’s new shop verbs are less shocking, and keep events open for new encounter text.
This wiki is unofficial. When September 15 patch notes land, this page becomes history and the updates hub gets a new row. Until then, Season 0 is cosmetics plus a date. The shop is still the product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
When does Season 0 end?
With the demo takedown on September 14, 2026 at 9:00am EST, per Steam news. Full launch is planned the next day.
What do I get for Gold or Master in Season 0?
Badge case skins. They are cosmetics, not balance changes. Rank rules stay on how ranks work.
Will my demo ranked progress carry into the full game?
Do not assume it. No public post we use promises MMR or sticker transfer. See release.
Is the launch set already in the 88-Batomon catalog?
No. The 88-name list is the demo/catalog snapshot. Launch is advertised with 50+ extra Batomon in new sets.
