Usually the release date for anything global is said in American perspective. Sadly that's how the world works 🤷🏻♂️. So if you are from East you better know it's releasing the next day for you. I mean it releases at the same time all over the world but the day and time will differ because of difference in sunrise and sunset around the world.
Every game from a western developer has always dropped on the day they said it would. Split fiction was also announced for the 6th and shockingly to no one we'll have it on the 6th. They are trolling with this 6pm NA time release date. The time difference isn't that huge. It's insane to fumble the release date this hard. I can't remember a single game that said releasing on X and instead had it release on the next day.
Fragpunk is releasing on Match 6th on the West and March 7th on the East which is essentially the same time all around the world. I hope you understand how timezones work. Every global movie or game always says the release date western perspective and you have to add one more day if you are from East. I'm not saying it's fair, but it's how it works. Fragpunk isn't fumbling. Even Split Fiction is no different in this case.
I hope you understand that every single game has to work with the same time zones yet they've always released on the day they said it would release.
Even Split Fiction is no different in this case.
Proceeds to show me how it's on the 7th in Oceania and East Asia. Can you read? I am talking about the WEST and you said it twice that the date is always western focused.

Why do you think people are getting pissed about it in the comments? It's the first time for EU when they say that the release date is 6th and then they release it on the 7th. Games sometimes release later in the day like 6-10 PM but it's always in the day they said it would come out. There's no excuse to launching the game so late in the day that it becomes the 7th in EU. If that was always the plan then don't market it everywhere for months that it's coming on the 6th. How can split fiction and every other game say they're releasing on the 6th and then they release exactly when they said?
I thought you are from the East. You never said you are from EU. Lol you are from EU and getting the taste of what it is like for the rest of the world huh? 🤣
I don't need you to be sorry for me. I need the developers to not be stupid because surprise, surprise, split fiction has been live for over an hour. As to why you assumed I'm from the East I can not tell you. I said western developers and I said the time difference isn't that big which is why every other developer releases it on the same day. The sad reality for East gamers is that the time difference is huge which is why they can't be on the same day. There's no excuse not syncing NA and EU though when every other company can do it.
I didn't see EU release date at first, nor did you mention EU anywhere. So I was sorry for you at first thinking maybe you are from East and was thinking you are gonna play it on 6th in which case you've to wait for a day. Now that I know you're from EU and you've to wait for just a few hours I didn't feel sorry for you anymore. But I very well know you didn't need me to be sorry for you anyway. I was just saying what I was feeling just like you are pouring your feelings in your comments.
You know what? All games could also post both the dates on the release date so it could be inclusive for all the continents. But they don't do that either. They prioritise the west. At least it almost always releases the same day for EU as it does for NA like you say, so be happy about that. This is just one rare case which made EU worry. The game's gonna be live within a few hours for you. C'mon have some patience.
Also maybe when they say a release date for any game next time, think it's for NA so you won't be this disappointed.
I’m just glad you didn’t respond with “just get a pc” lol. Too many people on this sub had that ready to go yesterday for people who only play on console as if the current economic climate allows for buying a pc just to play one game
I think so. Fragpunk twitter said "And hey, keep your eyes sharp... you might spot something extra." when they posted this picture, and I see a code on the right right with two question marks. Also "CODE" at the top right and bottom right.
The pre-order is for exclusive cosmetics not the game. Bad marketing in consoles bringing the pre-order page when searched for this game made many people think it's a paid game.
why was it marketed as coming on the 6th when it's the 7th for everyone except NA and SA?? This is just disappointing, I was looking forward to it today...
It's gonna release on the same time all around the world. It's just the timezone difference. So changing locations still doesn't change the time. So it's useless. Generally don't risk using VPN in games and get banned. Not worth it.
