COP BASTARD release date
COP BASTARD unlocked on 29 October 2026 at 18:02 UTC. Steam and GOG both list 29 October. Japan’s storefront shows 30 October because of the time zone. The 10% launch discount runs through 7 November 2026.

Why some stores say 30 October
SteamDB records the unlock at 18:02:07 UTC on 29 October 2026. That is 19:02 in central Europe and 03:02 on 30 October in Japan. The date on the storefront follows the local clock. I do not treat the Japan date as a delay.
The 18:02 UTC figure comes from one public history page. The calendar date 29 October is on both the Steam store page and the 15 October announcement that also posted the release-date trailer.

Earlier dates that slipped
In a 2024 r/Games thread the developer still described the game as a Q2 2025 project. The date that stuck is the October 2026 window announced in September, then pinned to 29 October on 15 October 2026. I keep both, because the slip is part of the public record.
