The confirmed release date
Steam lists October 29, 2026 as the planned release date for the full game. The PlayStation listing and developer announcements agree on the date. This agreement supports the release day across the official material collected for the site.
The research was completed on October 27, two days before that scheduled launch. The date is therefore presented as a plan rather than as evidence that the full game was already playable. Check the official store for availability when you are ready to play.
PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
The September developer press release includes Windows PC through Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. These are the announced launch platforms. A reference to Xbox Series should not be silently changed into a native Xbox One edition.
The platform names also describe separate storefront routes. A Steam wishlist does not establish a console purchase, and a PC demo listing is not a console demo. Use the guide for your actual platform when checking access.

The PlayStation-listed unlock time
The US PlayStation listing gives October 29 at 17:00 UTC. On that date, the corresponding US times are 10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time and 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. These are conversions of the same PlayStation-listed moment.
A precise time from one store is not automatically a shared release clock. The collected material does not independently confirm the same hour for Steam or Xbox. Follow the countdown or availability notice on the store where you intend to play.
The free demo has an earlier release
The official PC demo launched September 24, 2026. Its availability before October 29 explains why demo playthroughs were published ahead of the full game. Those recordings concern a trial rather than proof of early access to the whole campaign.
The demo contains a Story Demo followed by an unlockable Gameplay Demo. Completing the story section opens the second section. That structure belongs to the playable trial and should not be substituted for the release build’s chapter progression.

What to check on launch day
Confirm the game name, platform and release notice on the relevant official store. If you are checking a time, keep the store and region attached to it. A calendar date, a countdown and an install button answer related but different questions.
The release-date answer is October 29, 2026, while the verified exact clock in these notes comes from PlayStation. The price and Xbox guides cover the separately announced purchase and subscription details. This page avoids turning a platform-specific time into a promise for every edition.
