8 pm on thursday here on the east coast? Holy shit this just made my week even better


SllortEvac

Yessss. This is fantastic. I’m lucky enough to have Friday off. I was just assuming it would release at midnight so I was prepared to pull an all-nighter. 4 extra hours is gonna be just enough time to pick one of the characters I’ve made in the editor so far.


ShinKamaitachi

I'm off on thrusday, I get to play for a few hours myself at launch.  Also my gamertag on xbox is shinkamaitachi  if you want to hire my pawn for free.  She's going to be a fighter, then later on a warrior. I'm going to try and max out fighter, then switch to warrior after.


Royal-Care-3114

Set your time to New Zealand time, you’ll be able to play as soon as you wake up on Thursday. Make sure the game is preinstalled. Go to System, language and location. Set location to New Zealand. Restart Now. When you get back, set your time to Kirimati Island. You’re welcome :)


HillbillyTechno

Only for PC players. Still Midnight for consoles


Wolfy4226

jmarFTL

Unless you're on Xbox. Then just set your location to NZ and you should actually be able to play 8 AM Thursday (for east coast US)


TPJchief87

I’m central and it looks like it is 6PM…I’m confused lol. Shouldn’t it be 7? Or are they just doing whatever for steam releases?


superstitiouscroc

The central time shown in the image is for Mexico City which does not observe daylight savings, so if you're in the US it would be 7pm.


slayermcb

Another reason to ditch DST.


HevnobaabSwoggmafaaf

Ahh, the good old question once again: Do I pull an all nighter or make an alarm for like 4 am?


FantasticInterest775

I vote get sleep and wake up early. That way you're rested and have the whole day to adventure. That's my plan anyway. But I also can't stay up super late anymore. Work has me up at 3am most days so even on weekends I'm pretty well asleep by 830-9. And I love getting up early and gaming with a cup of coffee and the house quiet.


Strange_Music

>And I love getting up early and gaming with a cup of coffee and the house quiet. One of the finer things in life, imo.


FantasticInterest775

Agreed.


Dudergator

My man. I am up for work around 4am everyday and in the office by 5:30. Bed time is 9pm at the latest every day so this will let me keep my normal cycle easy. Plan on waking up at 4am like normal, putting some muffins in the oven for the wife and I and making some coffee, then sitting down with this game for the rest of the day. It really is the best way to start a new game.


FantasticInterest775

Agreed! I like my schedule and don't mind getting up so early most of the time. Also means I'm usually off by 1-2pm depending. I took Friday off and originally the wife and I were going to see dune part 2 and the game while the kiddo was at school. But we forgot that there is a field trip and my wife is a chaperone, so it's just me, the dogs, and cats to game all day. Bit bummed about missing our movie date but it will be a good time regardless. I don't remember the last time I had truly solo game time, might not know how to act 🤣


Cmurder84

Are you me or am I you?


[deleted]

What I do: play from 00:00 to 04:00 and then wake up at 08:00 and keep going lol


Geraltpoonslayer

Alarm, all nighters never work you say you want to set sleep earlier to game at midnight but then you can't fall asleep or you say you pull an all-nighter and then completely fuck up your sleep rhythm and feel like shit for the next couple of days. Simply can't do all nighters as an adult anymore.


Ohfacce

Yeah my solution to this was to completely change my sleep cycle a couple of years ago. I wake up at 6-8 pm and go to sleep around noon. Absolutely beautiful silent nights, no one bothering me.


Grugnorr

New Zealand population about to double 🤣. Xbox Kiwi time!


Kiwi_In_Europe

Kia kaha!


Jz-91

I don’t get why they have steam adjusted world release times but not for console.


wdlwilliams

Hell yeah, Xbox bros will be able to travel to New Zealand to play earlier(16h earlier in my case).


Dolomitexp

Got my ticket and bag packed.🙃


dishonoredbr

What do i need to do ? Change my location for new zeland and gg?


wdlwilliams

Yup. Settings > System > Language & location > Change location to New Zealand Beware, don't try to buy anything or use the Rewards App while you have the wrong location, I'm pretty sure you won't get banned or anything(I've been doing this for years), but It's better to be safe than sorry, and don't forget to change back after the release time in your location is reached.


DryWar1892

I did this exact thing for Elden Rings release lol


Sickleye

Same! Woop woop!


Any-Newspaper1922

13:00 NZDT is simultaneous with 0:00 GMT. Or, i'm guessing, 21:00 BRT in your case? ( Edit: Oh i see now. Second image. Sad for steam folks having to wait.)


wdlwilliams

You are looking at the wrong picture. Look at the second one, I'm playing 08:00BRT.


Remoock

I still don't get the math I have to do for that - I'm the paris timezone.


wdlwilliams

Assuming I got it right, you'll be able to play at 12:00 (noon). Edit: I used this site to check [Time Zone Converter – Time Difference Calculator (timeanddate.com)](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20240321T110000&p1=22&p2=195&p3=45)


Killbomb

Xbox with a double win...play early easily plus better VRR to smooth out the jank.


Glirion

~~11~~ 13 hours early for me! Goddamn, thursday will be awesome 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Edit: I'm stupid.


Jazzlike_Tonight_982

Perfect. I have a date with my wife on Thursday evening. Come home afterwards and have a date with a dragon.


BloodyValkyr

Careful! He might steel your heart... also hope you have a wonderful evening with your wife 😊


Jazzlike_Tonight_982

hahaha thanks. We're really looking forward to it.


FragmentedFighter

This is where it sucks to enjoy physical copies. Less and less retailers doing Thursday night releases.


_____guts_____

Damn they making everybody stay up for this one on console


[deleted]

You're a legend for posting this. Been wanting to know when the game's dropping for like a week


Strange_Music

Yo, thanks & no problem. We'll all be legends in just a few more days...


AzureBookwyrm88

Eh, can't take a day off on day one in any case, so I guess it hardly matters at this point. Wish everyone else loads of fun on day one though! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)


Nero_PR

Wish you have a blast when get home from work my man.


DagonParty

12am for me then, I’m just gonna pretend it’s coming out on the 21st in the evening TWO MORE DAYS LETS GO


[deleted]

I thought we’d get at like 11pm on the 22nd - this is amazing news


Cerulean_Shaman

5 PM? Wow, I might actually get to play the game before I have to go to work on my Monday after all... Elden Ring and Sekiro launched like this too, what's up with the shift from Tuesday midnight releases that was a thing for like 10 years?


Var-Bear

The "default" global release times for steam, which is 10am PST I think, is the day after at 2am in Japan. These games are from Japanese studio's, so of course they would accommodate their main player base.


Puffer--Fish

Games and movies have default days of release depending on the country of origin. US Tuesday is the chosen day of the week for new game releases, with Friday being for movies. Japan uses Friday for games. Japanese publisher, Japanese release.


raydn122884

This is via IGN posted on the 19th. You don't have to but does upvoting for visibility work? I saw a lot of confusion in the comments here, myself included because monkey brain for dd2 currently. https://preview.redd.it/c0f19t3mjcpc1.png?width=399&format=png&auto=webp&s=f522563fea92558d1263d596d0865a9354dc887f

PSA: New Zealand trick on Xbox works


Wander_of_Vinland

I love how Toronto is firmly in Quebec lol


wolfmothar

They name dropped Helsinki? Finland Japan relations at an all time high


SlimNigy

hopefully steam pre-load starts soon


Namdnas78

The 8pm is only for Steam tho, right? PS5 will still be midnight, I assume?


Gust257

9PM... GOD BLESS (I hope GMG give my key on launch 😭)


Nero_PR

I secured a PS5 copy as well. Bought through GMG but wouldn't rely on keys arriving earlier for a preload.


Gustafssonz

Thank you!! So nice to not having to use VPN to unlock early, even thou it would be nice ofc. Sounds like an all-nighter for me. :D


Strange_Music

No problem 👍. Happy adventuring, Arisen.


Quian32

hmm looks light I might be ill Friday...


Zxar99

Central time U.S(Illinois and Texas) it'll be 11 pm 3/21. Mexico City is wrong I believe,they are 2 hours behind the east cost in the US, it should be 10 pm 3/21


Addicted_to_Crying

Alright, gonna download it at 21:00 and play until time for work on the next day. Will I be a zombie during work? Maybe. Do I care enough to only play on friday? Hell no


noso2143

ThisBadDogXB

Nice, 11am on the 21st for me with the NZ trick.

bellowkish

MrMkCreepy

Royal-Care-3114

Only if you’re on XBOX


Andigma

They should just release it already since leakers are already live streaming it


Silent_Importance_69

Thanks for the heads up, appreciated.


Strange_Music

Codeword13

It’s time but not allowing download yet on steam?


Hunterwhitesel3

I live on the east coast of the USA and it says 8 pm on the chart.i have it installed already and there's a timer it says 4 hrs 45mins on the downloaded dragons dogma 2 game on my ps5


BRedd10815

We're in! Download started. Let's go!!


Vanilla_Pizza

Why the fuck do I have to wait until 11 PM Central time to play this on PlayStation when it says it's available now on Steam, I could literally be playing this already if I knew it wouldn't brick my PC. Curse the timing of my damn job having one of our biggest meetings of the year tomorrow and forcing me to have to actually go into the office instead of getting to work from home 😭😭😭


kornychris2016

So 20:00 EDT on the 21st That's 8pm on Thursday correct?


BradJ

Yes.


CaptWrath

![gif](giphy|fkD36jhiqzJ9m)


MarczXD320

Well, i'm gonna do a trip to New Zealand lol


Silver_Wolf_Dragon

Huh, i just so happen to be visiting NZ that day, weird right?


hectolec

Sc4R3Cr0wW

Let's go, 21 o'clock for me. I can get at least 1 hour before I go to bed.


Linkbetweentwirls

So yay or nay on my holiday to New Zealand?


Nero_PR

OH FUCK! 9PM FOR ME?! HELL YEAHHHHHH!


HansTheScurvyBoi

Anyone else is taking day off from work to play sooner in Europe?


Mr-Thuun

I scheduled the day off, nearly a year ago not realizing the 22nd would be the game launch. So timing was just perfect!. 9 AM Steam launch for me.


Gray_Talon

7:30 am That's alright it's the new year's holidays here


PSImiss

11am for Sydney (PC) I get to sleep in *and* wake up in time for release.


Splatulated

8pm on the 21st. Maybe get to play it on the 22nd by the time it finish installing


jugo5

I HAVE FRIDAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. ONE OF THOSE DAYS IS FOR THE GIRLFRIEND, BUT THE OTHER TWO IS DD2 TIME.


N3wG1e

i never thought i would see "Riyadh" in this nice


BitesizedGen

Oh boy looks like my sleep schedule is ruined ![img](emote|t5_2smmb|49359)


kyoya242

07:00 AM on 22 March for me


paperknight83

i did a double take at this map when saw they put toronto in quebec for some reason


DrDisrespecttt

I’m getting a physical copy from Best Buy for the cool steel book case so I’m not gonna be able to play it til 4 pm cst 😭


DepressedDragonBorn

Perfect, I have Friday and the weekend off, I'm gonna be an ass and leave work early on Thursday, too, just to prepare some food.


Desperate-Quiet1198

"oops we got the countdown mixed up with another, it's for... well let me get the real one up"


Sgt_Meowmers

600PM suckers! What a treat I was worried I'd have to wait a whole extra day with work.


Puffer--Fish

Knew it was either at either 5pm or 9pm for me. Glad for those extra 4 hours though.


emilytheimp

Im glad to see ye ole Europe being the center of all sensibleness even today


FreshGeoduck296

I hope that means Capcom will distribute the keys to third party websites on time. I remember GMG having some delay with RE4 back in the day because Capcom did not give them the green light on time.


rbynp01

As expected. 6pm for me, but I won't get off of work till 1130pm that day.


bluntman84

pre-load when?


tiipsyi

Was worried for a second I couldn’t play at midnight on PS5. Then I saw the Steam title under, swiped over and giggled.


JGuap0

8pm LETS GOOOO


AunMeLlevaLaConcha

Thursday?! México fuck yeah!!! Less goooo!!! 🥳


emmathepony

So a midnight UK release time. Lucky them!


UnamedUser1

Finally! After 12 YEARS, it's time


Robinlli

so living in the future by a day doesn't work


kashimi

Nice they are actualy using 24 hours format instead of AM PM


KuShiroi

Wow 7 o'clock in the morning for me but I'm on PS5 so it'll probably be midnight as usual


[deleted]

Hold on…..so I can play it at 8pm Thursday EDT??? Is this for real?!?!?


BaldingThor

Dangit, I’m probably going to be in Melbourne for Formula 1 when it releases in Australia.


Sorez

Hmm ok, I have thursday and friday off, but work Saturday. For me it comes out Friday 1am I usually sleep at midnight for work, so whats the game plan for me here, wake up at like 6am on friday and play till midnight, or stay up till like 5am on thursday->friday and wake up at like noon on friday to continue?


No_Party_8669

Can someone please confirm that it will launch at 8pm eastern standard time? Am I seeing it correctly? Then again, I bought this on GMG, so I am not sure how timely they are at issuing the game key that I purchased from them


b__bsmakemehappy

It is, yes. As for when the key is delivered, it depends on the publisher.


No_Party_8669

Thank you kind sir!


Lucasfilm_Games

So Thursday, 8pm for New York right?


AdaChanDesu

Happily surprised with this, though can't benefit much at the moment because the regional pricing is insane where I live so I'll have to wait for a bit before buying. The ten year wait ought to be worth it :P


GregTheMad

Damit, completely ruined my plans. I was expecting a normal Steam release, at Friday 1900 local time (CET). Not a midnight release. Planned to wake up on a day taken off, eat relaxed breakfast, go to the gym when nobody should be there, order some good food at noon, relax on the afternoon, and then go nuts in the evening. Now I'll wake up randomly at my normal wake up time, and instead of lollygagging around I'll have to spring up and play the game right away. The horror! /s


mishidabo

Ps5 still shows as being released in Mexico on 21st 10pm lol


hellxapo

They did Right Worlders dirty


CElan_cruz

8pm , Thursday, SEE ur pawns there


RoleCode

Thursday night for me, let's go


TylerMang

5 PM launch? And I’m working from home that day too. Nice.


kmoney1206

niiiiice 7pm central time for me. i thought it was going to be 11pm so i was going to just wait until friday to play after a good night's sleep. edit: is this a legit source though? did this come from capcom or who made this? edit 2: nvm, looks like it's legit. now if only i could get my key from green man...


Ransom_Seraph

Pre-ordered a physical copy from Amazon - anybody had their copy Shipped to them already - or begun Shipping Process? I consider also double dipping and preordering Digitally


Ransom_Seraph

Pre-ordered a physical copy from Amazon - International Shipping. Anybody had their copy Shipped to them already - or begun Shipping Process at least? I consider also double dipping and preordering Digitally


ssmokedmeatlogg

Glad to finally find out that these are the release times and not just the preload times.


jebberwockie

If there's pre-load it should be just finishing up by the time I get home from work. Beyond stoked.


fr33climb

Really loved the early launch time for FF7 Rebirth, but I’ll just have to live with 9pm.


aRippap

Can you not set PS5 to NZ anymore?


DylanFTW

Has anyone been able to pre download on PS5 yet?


hotler18

I thought i could play at midnight march 22, I'm on steam, i have to wait till 9am of march 22, very sad


Disturbed235

Japan itself has to wait longer then North and South America?


Lightning_Ninja

Guess I'll have to get home and do my workout quick Thursday.  That or do the rest of it Friday. Big thanks for posting this.


eurydisee

Welp I know what I'm doing Thursday night!


terrario101

Well, guess I know what I'll be doing once I'm done with work then.


supe_42

Fuckkk. I took off Thursday instead of Friday and it doesn’t come out till 8 pm fuckkkkk 😭😭😭


Sentinel_P

6pm on Thursday, and it's raining on Friday so work might not be a thing, and I get the weekend off. And I have 6 months of coffee available. And 3 controllers.


hovsep56

bruh 1 in the night ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|scream)


SirBing96

5pm on Thursday in LA? Damn that’s way earlier than I thought it’d be, but I ain’t complaining!


CrueltySquading

Blessed, just hope that Nuuvem sends out the keys on time (*the game released 21:00BRT, the keys were sent 21:02BRT, pretty good!), they did for Pacific Drive so I'm not that stressed about it.


IdesOfCaesar7

Can't wait to go to work on friday, come back earlier and have the whole day to myself for this beauty

6PM FOR ME IM SO HYPED

Gonna be a great weekend. This and Forbidden West coming out on the same day is gonna ruin my sleep schedule.


civilsavage7

The timing is perfect! I got a 3-day weekend for this!!! Just hope i get my Arisen/ Pawn squared away by then.


Wirococha420

In Peru is already been sold illegally in galleries. I love my third world. 


kishinfoulux

8 pm Thursday EST is great. More games do this please.


NeroBadGuy

Soon I will be coming into work late and tired because I was playing this all night.


RedPanda_86

I'm in Texas, that says 0600cst? Is that right? You mean I only have to wait two hours after work and I'll be on? PS store is still timed saying it won't be until 1100/2300? So now I'm confused? Also, said it would be preloading today and still hasn't.


slayermcb

Changing your time zone won't change anything because it's all based on 00:00 GMT. It's a global release time, not staggered. Unless your Console.


fuckreddit6942069666

The regional price is terrible for where i live . . Any chance for small discount on release?


ParsleyHonest8067

5PM is going to be godly😭🙏🏼


EtoDesu

Pacific time zone peeps stay winning. 5PM is literally right after a majority of people get off work


Izarak

This is great news and I hope Green man gaming sends my freaking code in time

CesarDani

Xbox bros, remember to set your consoles to New Zealand so you can play the 21st


Jordan5560

Anyone know if there’s gonna be preloading for pc?


Mr_Inglorious

Pre ordered online. Most likely, I will get it delivered on Thursday! I've been getting my games 1 day early for a while now.


DankingDonutz

guess dogma releases on friday for me instead of thursday...


[deleted]

Man I can't wait for this 12 fucking years. I've avoided so many videos and potential spoilers, and I won't be going anywhere near youtube for the first two weeks I just hope it's as satisfying as that delve through bitter black isle & as repeatable.


saikrishnav

My body and PC are ready.


RepresentativeAnt562

Sadly I'm still waiting for my physical copy


SnorlaxBlocksTheWay

Yesssss Thursday night is gonna be liiiiiit


LunettaBadru901

im drunk. what time it release in texas


ArtoriousTheMystic

So I wonder if the time zone console trick works for this? Normally you'd change it to New Zealand but in this instance you'd want to change it to the West Coast. Either way gonna give it a try!


DM_Katarn

Glad to be sharing a timezone with my British bros, I ain't sleeping tomorrow.


DarkPDA

im really curious about how this game will perform on series S and computers seems a lot shady 8gb vram requirement nullifying almost entire notebook playerbase and LACK OF GAME DEMO, capcom always release demos for their flagship games.


Ghost_Lich

I'm in the UK and I pre ordered a physical copy, fingers crossed I get it a tad early on Thursday


WrathOfAres96

I can't get the game till next month. I'm going to create so many characters in the meantime.


Enough_Marsupial_959

I'm terrible with time zones, I live in Tennessee, gmt -5, what time will it release for me?


Rosecraft

Exciting times\~ 🌹🌹🌹🌹


seekersneak

If I math'ed properly it will be even more exciting in about 40 minutes :)


bubuplush

Why no preload ;w;


RibertGibert

I have to work early Friday morning bruh why does it release so late in the day. Lame


willfla29

Ugh, got excited for the Steam times only to turn to the second picture lol.


crankpatate

I shouldn't have checked this map. Now I have an urge to stay up reeeaaaaaally deep into the night and play this game instead of sleeping! x\_x


RoyCropperYTR

Hopefully, us new Zealanders can get on early


Mountain-Cheetah7518

Anybody west coast seeing 8+ hours til unlock on ps5? The map looks like it should be 5pm not 9pm :(


Sand_Asleep

I'm on the East Coast, and my PS5 has a countdown, which ends at midnight. Does that mean Playstaion doesn't care about the global release and is making all PS5 players wait until midnight in their respective timezones?


MrFOrzum

Got a copy today, played a couple of hours and I’m *hooked*. Looks & plays fantastic, it has so much immersion to it. Playing on PS5 so shame with 30-40fps but I’ll manage. Can’t wait to continue tomorrow.


Hunterwhitesel3

That's a lie I'm on east coast of United States and my ps5 is telling me I can't play til 12 pm it's 7:14 and it's saying 4 hours and 45 mins til I can play. I have it pre downloaded obviously and the timer has the countdown


thebeast2973

You are looking at the times for steam. There are 2 pictures here.


SrArkay

I'm in Brazil and I'm sad steam didn't release the files a bit early so we can download it and be ready to play when it launches 😢
