The expansion launches February 23, 2027, roughly one month later than the late January 2027 date originally planned. Early access for pre-order customers begins February 19, 2027, and pre-orders open November 4, 2026. The event runs October 31 and November 1 across Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Halls 1 through 7, AEON Mall Makuhari New City, and Toyosuna Park. The Tokyo stop follows Fan Festival appearances in Anaheim and Berlin. The same keynote served as the vehicle for the release delay confirmation and the pre-order schedule.","whyItMatters":"The keynote's headline item is a one-month slip from late January 2027 to February 23, which puts early access on February 19 and pre-orders on November 4, 2026, so the dates a player can act on were set before the expansion itself arrives.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe keynote came with a full pre-order and edition schedule.
