Nivalis Nights release date and launch time
Nivalis Nights launches on Steam on 29 September 2026 at 15:00 UTC. That is one moment worldwide, so in Seoul and Tokyo it is already midnight on 30 September, and on the US west coast it is 8 in the morning. The clock below counts down to it and shows the time where you are.

The studio’s own conversions
The studio lists the launch in six zones:
Nivalis Nights will release on September 29th, 2026 at 3PM UTC / 4PM BST / 5PM CEST / 8AM PST / 11PM HKT / 12:01AM JST.
ION LANDS
Two of those labels do not line up exactly with 15:00 UTC, and neither changes when you can play:
- “8AM PST”. In late September the US west coast is on daylight time (PDT, UTC minus 7). 15:00 UTC is 08:00 PDT, so the hour is right and only the abbreviation is off.
- “12:01AM JST”. 15:00 UTC is 00:00 in Japan, one minute earlier than the listed time. The table above uses 15:00 UTC, which every other zone in the list agrees with.
Why you may see 30 September
Korean and Japanese coverage lists the launch as 30 September because 15:00 UTC falls at midnight there. Sydney and Auckland are later still. It is the same launch, not a separate regional date: Steam unlocks the game for everyone at once.
Can you pre-load or pre-order?
The Steam page has no purchase button yet, so there is nothing to pre-order or pre-load. The pre-order page covers what that means for the launch discount, and the price page has the regional prices.
How the date moved
- 2021. Revealed as Nivalis, with a Steam page to wishlist and no date.
- 2023. The release was still expected in 2024.
- 2024. The studio moved it to “Spring 2025”.
- 2025. A second delay followed.
- 2026. The game came back with a new name and the September date. Why it is now called Nivalis Nights.
