DedSec, we have identified an incorrect PC launch timing that we previously anunced. Due to an internal communication error we had previously communicated an incorrect date and time for Epic Games Store PC launch.

correct launch date is October 29th, at 3PM UTC.

Below we also included a picture with  Ubisoft Connect PC launch timings for more countries which will hopefully make it easier to spot when you can start recruiting your resistance!

We apologize for inconvenience caused by this communication error and thank you for your understanding.
