Can someone please elaborate on release hour ?

[Kurosu]

Yesterday when I checked it said 10 AM PDT which translates to 8 PM in my timezone ( eastern europe).

However steam page says it will release in around 20-21 hours by the time of this post which means between 6 and 7 AM of my timezone the NEXT day.

Most countdowns I have seen are about PS release ( midnight local hour) .

At this point I am genuily confused. Does the game release when its October 11 on Japan or do we wait for USA as usual?

[moshiwakeda]

It will release in Japan at 10 am on October 11, according to the steam store page
Japan is GMT+9

So in Europe it will release at 1 am
In the americas it will be released on October 10 actually

Actually, it could be that Steam is showing people different countdowns depending on which region you are in. I never really looked into that though, I'm pretty sure the timer you see in your store page will be accurate

[Kurosu]

But Europe's time differece with japan is not 9 hours. Eastern Europe is 6 , so central is 7 and 8 for the other.

Im pretty sure the game releases at the same time for everyone. we all just live in different time zones.

Well it does yeah , but its at a terrible time in our timezones ( 4-6 AM). Most people are asleep and even when they wake up they will go to work or unnie or w/e responsibilities they may have.

In contrast, USA gets to play before the midnight of October 11th while in japan its at mid-noon.

Other Sega games like Yakuza/ LAD were released in afternoon/evening time in Europe (infinite wealth being the latest example)

Im mean being hyped is fine, Im also looking forward. But the time you start playing doesnt matter at all. It releases tomorow. Its no MMO where you miss out on a headstart. Take your time and enjoy the game.

Steam is forcing everyone to wait until it unlocks in America, sorry buddy, but it's another 14 hours of waiting to go.
