Release date

It's Thursday night, midnight UK time isn't it? Except Stream is telling me the 22nd - in fact 3 days and 9 hours from now, which will be 4am Saturday morning here in Oz. Shouldn't it be around 9amish on the Friday? I've read elsewhere there are strange times coming up for America buyers as well, but no threads here. Is the date on Steam a mistake?

ideally it should be around 10am Friday 21st which equates to Midnight London time. where on Steam does it say how long until the game unlocks ? I can not see it anywhere on mine

* oh never mind, I saw it. Dissapointing yes

I wouldn't trust steam unlocking times, as they are normally wrong! They just seem to put in a time that is close and then unlock it at the proper time.

True...it says 3 days and 7 hours for the UK which would be 7pm Friday, which is obviously wrong. Their unlocking times are always wrong, no need to worry, it'll be out at midnight Thursday night/Friday Morning UK time or maybe an hour or so earlier.

Ive pre-purchased from steam, so when does it start downloading? is it thursday and then the final 1% at midnight?

We'll provide more info on the preload later, but you can ignore this - Steam sometimes throws out some inconsistencies. There's no change to the release date - it'll be October 21st.
