What about the UK? seems that it's 1am

Why do people keep quoting old information. IT WILL NOT be unlocking at everyones lock 12AM. There are three regional unlocks. Aussie +10, US -5, Not sure which one the EU is. So If you are say in texas, and have -6 GMT that means it unlcosk at 11PM for you if you live in California it unlocks at 9PM etc.

Pete officially stated it will unlock US est 12AM

No link sorry but local 12am was organically planed but shot down by Steam because doing such would be too much of a hassle

Just look where it says "This game will unlock in approximately . . ."

That blows.. I'll have to wait until 6AM my time then. svcks to be australian, they'll have to wait almost all day.

And @above, I've heard the Steam timer is incorrect.

"This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 0 hours" it says for me yet someone is saying it will be 5am now ... ugh so confused !!!

due to the date line, i believe aussies get it first in real terms.

Don't worry, here in the UK it will unlock at 12 midnight. Trust the steam countdown.

As he said, there are three regional unlock times, but he didn't know what time the EU region unlock was. It should be midnight GMT, but it looks like they might not have accounted for DST, so it might be 1AM.

If it's released worldwide at 12 EST then they'll have to wait the longest, no? :unsure2:

1 day 0 hours

This memorable moment deserves a fap.

Please read the other posts. There are 3 unlock times: 12AM AEST (GMT+10) for those in Oceania, 12AM GMT for those in Europe, and 12AM EST (GMT-5) for those in North America (possibly the rest of the Americas too, don't know).

It has been in fact stated multiple times in this very thread that it is not unlocked at 12est world wide, that is just for North America I'd imagine.

My Skyrim's unlocking at midnight, and i'm in Brazil.
I'm placing my bets on a local time unlock.

I'm not interested in statements from random people, I was asking for reliable sources. So far all I've seen is a twitter message saying that it is unlocked at 12est worldwide.

It's at 12am EST nationwide. If you live West of that, it's earlier. (I'm in Mountain Time and I unlock at 10pm on the 10th)

» Tue May 08, 2012 3:36 am

What time will it unlock Central time (Texas)? it is currently 6:39 p.m. now

» Tue May 08, 2012 6:32 am

easiest way to know when it unlock for your time zone launch steam if you don't got steam then install it anyway you will need it. then go to the Skyrim store page it will say how long til it unlocks for your time zone for me on the west coast of the US it says as of 4:40pm 1 day 5 hours that is around 9pm on the 10th it will unlock.
