Age of Empires 4 release times - what time does the RTS game come out?

What time does Age of Empires IV come out? The highly anticipated RTS game has officially gone gold, and we also know what time the strategy game will be releasing across the globe today as it launches for the masses.

The release times were first announced via the official Xbox Japan Twitter account, and have been verified on other platforms since. For our American readers, you'll be able to get your hands on the game from 8 am Pacific, 11 am Esatern Time. That's 4 pm here in the UK, and 5 pm for those on Central European Time. Sorry Australians, you'll have to stay up late, as it doesn't unlock until 2 am October 29 in Aus EDT.

In case you weren't familiar with the term, 'going gold' refers to the point prior to a game's release where the code is 'frozen', and sent out to other departments for distribution. This was of more importance during the age of physical media, although it still means that any fixes or tweaks that come after this week will appear in a day one patch, if there is one, or whenever the first official update lands.
