Major release dates continue to come thick and fast in 2026, and while April is perhaps not as big as May in this regard, Tides of Tomorrow’s launch is certainly one to keep an eye out for.
Tides of Tomorrow features a novel approach to storytelling, where you follow in the footsteps of your friends and other players, with their decisions and performances in the game impacting your journey.
If you’ve got your eyes cast toward Tides of Tomorrow and want to know exactly when it launches, Insider Gaming has all the details.
When is Tides of Tomorrow Coming Out? Release Date, Explained
Tides of Tomorrow has a confirmed release date of Wednesday, April 22, 2026, and there will be no delays to the launch date from THQ Nordic.
After releasing a demo last year, Tides of Tomorrow is now sailing headfirst into its launch date, where it will land on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
With an affordable price compared to many other titles in the market, it could be a good option if you’re looking for something new to play while waiting for major releases next month, but the exact times you can jump in vary by region.
Tides of Tomorrow Release Times
Unlike many modern releases, Tides of Tomorrow has a global release structure and will be available to play at precisely the same moment worldwide.
That means players in the likes of New Zealand won’t be able to jump in ahead of others, instead giving those down under a longer wait. Depending on where you are located, the release date may actually be in the early hours of the morning on April 23.
In the United States, players will be able to play in mid-morning, while those in Europe will have to wait until early afternoon.
