CRYMELIGHT Release Time: When It Unlocks in Your Time Zone

CRYMELIGHT unlocks in every region at the same instant: 3:00 p.m. UTC on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. That reads as 10:00 a.m. ET, 7:00 a.m. PT, 3:00 p.m. in the UK and 4:00 p.m. Central Europe, and it lands at midnight on Thursday, November 5 in Japan and Australia. The box above shows the launch in your own time zone and counts down to it.

The PlayStation Store listings carry that timestamp, and the American, British and Japanese store pages all give the same release moment. Furyu’s website gives the release date as November 5, 2026 (JST), the same instant, while Nintendo’s eShop ends its pre-order sale at 2:59 p.m. UTC on November 4, just before launch. The Steam store page lists November 4, 2026 and asks for 10 GB on PC.

Prices differ by store, and so does the discount. PlayStation sells the Standard Edition for $19.99 and the Deluxe Edition for $39.99. Nintendo’s eShop has the Switch 2 Standard Edition at $17.99 while its sale lasts, and the sale ends at 2:59 p.m. UTC on November 4. Steam’s store page has no purchase box for the full game, only the demo, so PC players cannot buy in yet. Nintendo’s pre-order bonus is a Red Pouch in-game item, available to anyone who purchases by 23:59 JST on November 4.

CRYMELIGHT is a single-player roguelike action game from Furyu and Winning Entertainment Group, and Furyu’s own site sums up the trade-off in one line: the greater your penance, the stronger you become. Wonderland is a prison for the souls of the dead in the game’s story, and Alice, a girl with no memories and a guide called the White Rabbit, takes on the sins of her companions to win her freedom. It runs 20 to 30 hours, is written in Japanese and English, and lands on Switch 2, PS5 and PC. Our look at the announcement and its English support covers the language side in more detail.

Two stores, two prices and one launch moment is the shape of this release. Nintendo’s discounted price beats the PlayStation Store by $2 and lasts until the last minute before launch, while Steam has no purchase box at all, which makes the console stores the only way to buy in on day one. For example, a Japanese launch night, midnight on November 5, and a New York launch morning, 11:00 a.m. ET on November 4, are the same moment rather than two separate release waves, and Nintendo’s pre-order bonus deadline falls on that same clock. If you own neither, our CRYMELIGHT beginner’s guide and PC specs page cover what you are walking into, and the editions guide handles the $19.99 versus $39.99 decision.
