Quick Checks Before Launch
Because some sources list slightly different clock times around the same date (e.g., 7 p.m. vs. 8 p.m. in NA), players should always confirm the in‑game or official countdown close to release. The most reliable references right now are Game8’s release-time table, Polygon’s time-zone breakdown, and the official publisher announcements.
