The answer first
Capcom moved the global release date forward to Friday, September 4, 2026. Older June announcements that say September 25 are superseded. Some regional PC storefronts may display September 3 because of unlock timing, so use Capcom’s latest date update as the global reference.

Release Date action checklist

Current answer table
| Date announced | Launch date stated | Status |

| June 2, 2026 | September 25, 2026 | Superseded |
| July 2, 2026 | September 4, 2026 | Current global date |

Why do some pages still say September 25?
That was the original official date. Capcom later published a release-date update moving launch forward.
Why can Steam show a different day?
Regional store displays can reflect local unlock timing. A one-day display difference does not replace Capcom’s global announcement.
When should I check again?
Check before preload or purchase and after any new official update. This page records its last checked date.
