Metroid Dread is releasing soon and players are hoping to know the release time so they’re ready to play the moment the game launches. While players know October 8 is the magical day, the hour and the minute the game goes live is currently a topic of consideration.
The release time of Metroid Dread should be at midnight in your region on October 8, 2021. However, given the nature of online releases and physical releases, it could be a different story depending on where you are in the world. There’s also the chance that Metroid Dread will go live at the same time around the world, based on a single timezone. That is to say, the release time may end up being 9:00 p.m. PT on Thursday, October 7 (12:00 a.m. ET on Friday, October 8 for those on the east coast of the United States) or even 12:00 a.m. PT on October 8.
For now, Nintendo hasn’t given a solid indication of the exact time Metroid Dread will be available, only that it’s releasing on October 8, 2021. As we roll closer to the release date, there’s a chance Nintendo will give players a heads up on the exact minute they can dive into Samus’ next adventure. Should Nintendo confirm the release time, we’ll be sure to update this. For now, though, you can likely work toward a midnight release.
