No pre-order, fine, but today is the release day and it’s past noon, yet no sign of the game showing up in Japan & Asia PS Store.
The game isn’t being released until 13:00 UTC (a little over 8 hours from now). It should be available in the PS Store then.
PS Store HK never released a new game at night unless it’s pre-ordered. If we have to wait for a global release time, that means the game won’t be available until the next day
I heard this game has been postponed to February 1st in HK PS store
This is what it says on their website:
Release Time
HITMAN 3 will release simultaneously on all platforms at 13:00 UTC on 20 January 2021.(For PS4 and PS5 owners in Asia, please note that HITMAN 3 will not be available for pre-order or pre-load. This is due to recent changes in the age ratings systems in those regions. HITMAN 3 will be available for purchase at the above time.)
It better be that case
it really is out at 9pm local time: HITMAN 3 on PS Store HK
I gotta admit this is impressive for guys at PS Store HK, because never have they put up new games in the evening, at least not that I know of in the past 9 years.
