ANOMALITH Release Time: When It Unlocks in Your Time Zone

ANOMALITH unlocks at one moment worldwide: 3:00 p.m. UTC on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. That is 11:00 a.m. ET, 8:00 a.m. PT, 3:00 p.m. in the UK and 4:00 p.m. Central Europe, and it lands at midnight on Thursday, October 29 in Japan and Australia. The box above converts the launch to your own clock and counts down to it.

The PlayStation Store listings carry that exact timestamp, and the US, UK and Japan store pages all name the same release moment. Furyu’s own website calls the release date October 29, 2026 (JST), which is the same instant, and Nintendo’s eShop closes pre-order bonuses at 23:59 JST on October 28, just before launch. The Steam store page lists October 28, 2026 and asks for 40 GB of space on PC.

If you want to play on launch night, buy ahead, because the prices are set. The Standard Edition is $49.99 on the PlayStation Store and on Nintendo’s eShop, and the Digital Deluxe Edition is $69.99 on PlayStation. Steam’s store page has no purchase box for the full game yet, so PC players cannot pre-order there today. The Standard Edition also carries a pre-order bonus pack, including a “Lost Property Control Organization” collab mission, outfit and drone skin, plus consumable item sets, for anyone who buys by 23:59 JST on October 28. Nintendo is listing an “ANOMALITH Anomaly Zone Countermeasures DLC Set” for the same day.

ANOMALITH is a single-player anomaly-hunting action adventure from Furyu and Winning Entertainment Group. Anomaly Zones are the disrupted areas that appear across Japan without warning, and the story follows Reona Minazuki, 17, who joins a government office after her friend vanishes inside one of them. It arrives on PS5, Switch 2 and PC.

The detail that matters for planning is that this is a single global moment, not the midnight-local roll-out most console launches get, and Furyu’s deadline gives it away: pre-order bonuses end at 23:59 JST on October 28, just before launch. For example, the PlayStation Store timestamp does the work here: the US, UK and Japan listings all name the same moment, so there is no regional midnight to convert. Japan therefore gets the game first in local time, and everyone else waits for the same beat, so a North American launch plan means an afternoon session starting at 11:00 a.m. ET rather than a midnight download. Storage is the other number to check before you commit, since Steam lists 40 GB. Our ANOMALITH editions guide breaks down what the Digital Deluxe adds, and the game’s page collects the rest of our coverage.
