When does Loftia Early Access open?
The official FAQ schedules Early Access for Tuesday, November 3, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST, which is 18:00 UTC. This is one worldwide launch time: the local date and hour depend on where you live.
For players in Beijing and Singapore, that means Wednesday, November 4 at 02:00. Use the countdown and table below to choose the right calendar day before arranging a session.

How do the November time zones line up?
The table uses the time-zone rules for the launch date. The US has returned to standard time by November 3, so New York is on EST, UTC−5, and Los Angeles is on PST, UTC−8. The launch falls at 13:00 in New York and 10:00 in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
London is on GMT, matching 18:00 UTC; Berlin is on CET, UTC+1, making it 19:00 on November 3. Beijing and Singapore are eight hours ahead of UTC, Tokyo is nine hours ahead, and Sydney is on AEDT, UTC+11. Those locations reach the launch on November 4, including 03:00 in Tokyo and 05:00 in Sydney.
When sharing a time with friends, include the city, date and time zone. Writing only “November 3” can leave someone in Asia or Australia looking at the wrong day. A calendar entry for 2026-11-03 18:00 UTC gives everyone the same reference point.
How should you use the countdown?
The countdown follows the scheduled instant. Keep your device’s date and time correct when using it, and use the table for a fixed local-time reference. The schedule and table remain readable with JavaScript turned off.
If you leave this tab open, returning to it refreshes the countdown. Once the scheduled time has passed, follow the announcement links beside it for the latest launch news.
What should you prepare before your session?
Review your system requirements ahead of your planned session. If friends are joining, agree on a shared server: only players on the same server can play together, though you are not locked to one server. The multiplayer guide covers arranging a group, and the launch checklist keeps your preparations together.
