What was announced
Yes. Natsume announced September 24, 2026 in May and repeated it with the first trailer in June.
Confirmed facts
- The date appears in two official 2026 announcements.
- All named launch platforms share the date.
- No official unlock hour is included.
What it means for players
The repeated date is firm enough for release-date coverage, while regional timing and store logistics should remain qualified.
This update narrows one specific player question using the publisher’s wording. It does not turn unreleased footage or marketing copy into invented routes, values, schedules, or performance claims.
What remains unconfirmed
Time-zone-specific unlocks, preload timing, physical delivery, and possible future schedule changes require later confirmation.
