Do not be fooled brothers, blizzard is trying to pull a quick one on us. They state a worldwide launch on Aug 27th, but then you read the actual post and it says America’s Aug 26th at 3pm PST.
If you planned things for the 26th, reschedule!

Blizzard is a US company, the release date should be based around their time zone not Asia phone game memes’

The more people in the US who actually think it doesn’t release here until the 27th, the better. More room for me to level.

Right… which is why the US gets the game on the 26th… Can’t tell if trolling or dumb.
Have you met America?

It will be 3PM Pacific Standard Time. Which means that the launch occurs:
- 3PM Aug 26th in California, USA (West Coast NA)
- 6PM Aug 26th in Massachusetts, USA (East Coast NA)
- 11PM Aug 26th in London, England (Western Europe)
- 12AM Aug 27th in Berlin, Germany (Middle Europe)
- 1AM Aug 27th in Bucharest, Romania (Eastern Europe)
- 3:30AM Aug 27th in Mumbai, India (Asia)
- 5AM Aug 27th in Bangkok, Thailand (Southeast Asia)
- 6AM Aug 27th in Perth, Australia (Western Australia)
- 8AM Aug 27th in Sydney, Australia (Eastern Australia)
- 10AM Aug 27th in Wellington, New Zealand (New Zealand)
It’s going to be the 27th for most people, so it’s called a “27th Launch”.

There is a reason they are releasing the Game on UTC. The Game will be released when UTC hit’s 10PM on the 27th. It does not matter where you are.
It’s not based off of Time Zones!
UTC is the time standard commonly used across the world. The world’s timing centers have agreed to keep their time scales closely synchronized - or coordinated - therefore the name Coordinated Universal Time.
It’s based off the Earths rotation, not what Time zone you live in so…
When UTC hits 00:00AM on the 27th. The whole World gets the Game at the same time. No one is starting sooner than anyone else.
Start getting educated before posting.

no it doesn’t u liar
Pretty sure most players are from USA + Canada …
Thanks; I get annoyed with American content creators telling people to take the 27th off of work. Don’t they want people to watch the servers explode on the 26th?
So. Much. Explained.
I’m sorry.
Murrica!! F%^**yeah!

Actually, there are far more players in China, Korea, Oceania, and Europe combined, than there are in the US and Canada. Hell, Europe is estimated to have more players in Retail alone.
Why do you hate our freedom, communist?!
Who am I to judge?
I mean, we gave the world Hawaiian pizza after all.
The blog says 10:00 pm UTC.
