PC unlock: one global moment, not early access

PC unlocks at midnight CEST (UTC+2, Warsaw time). This is one simultaneous release moment worldwide. Because it is September 2 in the Americas at that moment, Steam can correctly show September 2 there. That does not mean an American store has early access.

Los Angeles (PDT)September 2 · 3:00 PM

New York (EDT)September 2 · 6:00 PM

São Paulo (BRT)September 2 · 7:00 PM

London (BST)September 2 · 11:00 PM

Warsaw (CEST)September 3 · 12:00 AM

Tokyo (JST)September 3 · 7:00 AM

Sydney (AEST)September 3 · 8:00 AM

These are conversions of the publisher's stated PC unlock time for September 3, 2026. Store countdowns for your account are the final practical check. For platform-specific rules and the full city table, use the The Blood of Dawnwalker release times guide.

Console unlock: the important regional exceptions

Consoles generally unlock at midnight local time. The publisher lists two exceptions:

  • North and South America: midnight EDT (UTC−4, New York time), rather than each location's local midnight.
  • Australia, Indonesia and other countries with multiple time zones: midnight in the country's capital-city time zone.

The official announcement does not publish an exhaustive city-by-city console table. Do not infer a console unlock from the PC time above; check your PlayStation or Xbox storefront countdown for your account region.

Preload and early-access status

The publisher's release-timing notice confirms the unlock rules above, but it does not give a downloadable-size or universal preload schedule. It also does not list early access for Standard, Eclipse, Day One or Collector's Edition. Re-check your own platform store close to launch, because store-specific preload availability can change. Playing on PC? Use the official PC requirements and PC specs checker before preload starts.

Waiting for reviews before buying?

The reported review-embargo schedule is separate from the game's unlock time. See the review embargo guide for the currently reported date, local conversions and the distinction between a preview and a final review.

Launch-day checklist

  • Confirm your platform account region and installed game version.
  • Check for a day-one update before starting a save.
  • If you encounter a problem, save a screenshot/video and note your platform, version, settings and exact steps before reporting it.
