Checked 2026-10-29
ANOMALITH release dates, by edition
Steam US lists 28 October 2026. FURYU’s Japan announcement lists 29 October for both packaged and digital editions. The western PS5 physical release is listed for 12 November; the English-site banner prints 13 November JST without identifying a region.
Dates below retain each source’s edition and region. The English-site Nov 13 JST banner is not evidence of a Japan-specific physical date; FURYU’s Japanese announcement lists Oct 29.
Digital and deluxe
Steam’s US store lists Oct 28, 2026, without a clock time in appdetails. FURYU’s Japan announcement lists Oct 29 for Japanese packaged and download editions. These are regional date records, not proof of one worldwide unlock hour.
If using the Japanese PS Store midnight quoted by PlaySphere, 29 October 2026, 00:00 JST converts to 28 October, 15:00 UTC, 11:00 EDT, 08:00 PDT, and 16:00 CET. The conversion is arithmetic; that Japanese unlock claim remains attributed to one article and is not a confirmed Steam unlock time.
PlayStation’s English edition list explicitly advertises 48-hour early access for Digital Deluxe. Gamerch and PlaySphere report 27 October for the Japan edition. This is not a claim that every platform or physical box includes early access.
Physical editions are later, and they are not the same box
NIS Europe lists the PS5 Launch Edition for 12 November 2026 at £55.00 including UK VAT. The page’s contents line is the game plus DLC. It does not list an art book or a soundtrack.
The official English site prints 13 November 2026 JST for physical without naming a region. Its package button links NIS Europe, whose own date is 12 November. The date alone does not establish a Japan release. FURYU’s Japanese announcement gives 29 October and lists the Japan BOX at ¥12,100 including tax, with an 80-page book, mini soundtrack, and DLC. The English banner and regional records are preserved separately.
Gematsu’s report of NIS America’s announcement gives 12 November 2026 and a $59.99 announced price for the western PS5 Launch Edition. This is a reported launch price, not a current US retailer checkout quote.

Sale windows that sit on top of the dates
Steam’s launch announcement says the 10% launch sale runs until November 11. The store description’s early-purchase bonus window is October 29 – November 11, 2026 JST. PlaySphere alone says a Japanese PS Plus 10% preorder price ended at 00:00 JST on 29 October 2026.
Questions people ask
Is the physical release date 13 November everywhere?
No. NIS Europe lists 12 November 2026, also reported for the western PS5 release by Gematsu. The English-site banner gives 13 November JST without a region. FURYU’s Japan announcement gives 29 October for packaged and digital editions.
Does a Japan midnight listing confirm Steam’s unlock time?
No. Steam’s appdetails response gives a date without a clock time. A Japan PlayStation time must not be presented as a verified Steam unlock.
