The original global launch clock
Arc Games’ October 5 announcement provides these times in its original schedule graphic. The common instant is 17:00 UTC on 8 October 2026, derived from the graphic’s 10:00 AM PDT entry. Its CST labels refer to different places, so the city remains part of the answer.

Japan is a separate console publishing record
The September 10 publisher announcement assigns Japan’s digital Switch 2 and PS5 releases to PLAYISM. Its current Japanese product page still lists the release year as 2026, with no exact date. Treat that local record separately instead of calculating a Japanese console release from the worldwide time-zone graphic.
For the local publishing scope, yen prices and Japanese store links, use Japan release & PLAYISM. If the US PlayStation listing is the issue, PS5 edition & store help identifies the actual product and its purchase route.
