What time does ANANTA come out? Release time in every time zone

NetEase hasn’t announced what time ANANTA unlocks on January 15, 2027 (fact in the registry). The PlayStation Store lists 10:00 UTC. If that time holds, the game opens at 2:00 a.m. in Los Angeles, 5:00 a.m. in New York, 10:00 a.m. in London, 1:00 p.m. in Moscow and 7:00 p.m. in Tokyo.

ANANTA release time by time zone

If the PlayStation Store time holds, ANANTA unlocks on January 15 at:

• Los Angeles (PST, UTC−8): 2:00 a.m.
• New York (EST, UTC−5): 5:00 a.m.
• São Paulo (UTC−3): 7:00 a.m.
• London (GMT, UTC+0): 10:00 a.m.
• Berlin and Paris (CET, UTC+1): 11:00 a.m.
• Moscow (MSK, UTC+3): 1:00 p.m.
• Dubai (UTC+4): 2:00 p.m.
• Beijing and Singapore (UTC+8): 6:00 p.m.
• Tokyo and Seoul (UTC+9): 7:00 p.m.
• Sydney (AEDT, UTC+11): 9:00 p.m.

In all of these cities it is already January 15, so nobody on the list would get the game on the evening of January 14.

Standard time or daylight saving time?

January is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, so the list uses standard time: PST in Los Angeles, EST in New York, GMT in London and CET in Berlin and Paris. Moscow, Dubai, Beijing, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul and São Paulo keep the same offset all year. Sydney is the exception: in January it is summer there, and daylight saving time puts the city at UTC+11, not UTC+10.

Why the store time isn’t final

The 10:00 UTC comes from the PlayStation Store page, and on October 28, 2026 we found the same value in the US, UK, German and Japanese versions of the store. The other stores don’t back it up. The App Store lists 08:00 UTC, two hours earlier: midnight in Los Angeles, 11:00 a.m. in Moscow and 5:00 p.m. in Tokyo. Steam and Google Play show only the date.

Store fields like these are often filled in before a publisher sets its real schedule, and NetEase’s press release names only the date. Our assessment: 10:00 UTC is the best reference available, but it isn’t an announcement. The question stays open in our list of unknowns.

Can you download ANANTA before it unlocks?

NetEase hasn’t announced a pre-download date for any platform (open question). On iPhone and iPad, Apple says a pre-ordered app downloads automatically on release day if automatic downloads are turned on. Google Play notifies people who pre-registered when the game becomes available. On Steam and the PlayStation Store you can only add ANANTA to your wishlist for now. The steps for each store are in our pre-registration guide.
