Release date and unlock times
Updated 2026-10-16. Checked 2026-10-16.
The release date is 22 October 2026 on every announced platform. I have not found an official delay. PlayStation’s US concept page uses a timestamp of 2026-10-22T04:00:00Z, which is midnight US Eastern.
On 16 October 2026 the Steam US page still said “22 Oct, 2026” and coming soon. The Switch 2 eShop page and the PlayStation concept page agreed. I am treating 16:00 UTC as the Steam unlock because that is the figure repeated from the store’s global unlock behavior, not because I saw a separate Steam clock.
Unlock times
Console stores generally unlock at local midnight on 22 October 2026. In Japan that means the calendar has already rolled to 23 October when Steam’s 16:00 UTC window opens.
If you only want the date, stop here: 22 October 2026, no delay in the pages I checked.
