Aniimo Release Date & Time (All Regions)
The official launch time was 10:00 AM on September 16, 2026 (UTC+8). That single moment lands on different calendar dates depending on where you live — which is why some store pages say September 16 and others say September 15.
| Region | Local launch time |
|---|---|
| UTC+8 — China, Singapore, Malaysia (official clock) | Sep 16, 10:00 AM |
| UTC — reference | Sep 16, 02:00 AM |
| US Eastern (EDT) | Sep 15, 10:00 PM |
| US Pacific (PDT) | Sep 15, 07:00 PM |
| Central Europe (CEST) | Sep 16, 04:00 AM |
| Japan / Korea (JST / KST) | Sep 16, 11:00 AM |
In other words: both September 15 and September 16 are correct. In the Americas the game went live on the evening of September 15; everywhere else it was September 16.
