The Blood of Dawnwalker: Release Time in Your Time Zone

In brief

The Blood of Dawnwalker arrives on September 2, 2026 on PC and September 3 on consoles, but the exact time varies drastically depending on your time zone. On PC, it's a simultaneous worldwide unlock at 6 PM New York time. On consoles, it's midnight local time for most regions.

The Blood of Dawnwalker releases on September 2, 2026 on PC and on September 3, 2026 on consoles. But the exact unlock time varies depending on your platform and time zone.

In Paris (summer time, UTC+2), the schedule is easy to remember: whether you're playing on PC or on console, the game will unlock at midnight on the night of September 2 to 3, 2026 (i.e. 00:00 on September 3). Both versions therefore arrive at the same time for us.

How the unlock works

The logic differs depending on the platform:

  • On PC, the unlock is global and simultaneous: everyone gets access at the same instant, set to 6:00 PM in New York (Eastern Time) on September 2. As a result, Europe and Asia cross over as the night goes on.
  • On consoles, the release happens at midnight local time, almost everywhere. The only exception: the American zone and a few neighboring countries, aligned with midnight New York time.
