Unofficial launch guide · checked October 14, 2026
This week's game launches, fact-checked first
Three launches this week: Hellraiser: Revival is out, Sifu just landed on mobile, and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse arrives October 15.
Launch weeks are noisy. Store pages disagree on dates, sponsored posts dress up as reviews, and full walkthroughs go up before anyone could have finished the game. Launch Week Guides is a small unofficial guide for release week that publishes the opposite: the facts that can actually be checked — unlock dates and their time-zone quirks, official store links, prices, hardware requirements, and documented launch mechanics — each one dated and sourced, with everything else left alone until it can be verified.
This week's release timeline
Three launches are on the board this week. Dates are confirmed against publisher announcements and live store listings PlayStation Blog Sloclap Steam.
Launch hubs
Each game gets one hub, and each hub stays current through launch week:
Why there is no full walkthrough here (yet)
A complete walkthrough published within 72 hours of a launch is mostly guesswork. Routes change with day-one patches, boss strategies get revised, and early guides are often written against review builds that no longer match the shipped game. So we do not race to publish one. The first days of a game are exactly when you need reliable basics — when it unlocks in your region, what it costs, what hardware it needs, and how its documented mechanics work — and those are the facts we verify and stamp. When a guide genuinely needs more time to be right, we would rather be late than wrong.
How to use this site
- Pick a game from the cards above or the top navigation to open its hub. Every hub starts with a fact card: release date, platforms, price, developer, and genre.
- Follow the hub's guide index. Right now that means the Sifu download and pricing page and the Hellraiser: Revival keypad codes.
- Want to know where a fact came from? Every page names its sources inline, and the sources and methodology page lists them all with dates. The method itself is described on about.
- Spot something stale? Email us — corrections are part of launch-week work, and pages get re-stamped when facts change.
Our update promise
Every page carries a checked date at the top. We re-verify on launch day and in the days after; this edition of the site was checked October 14, 2026. When a fact changes, the page and its source entry change together — nothing gets quietly edited. And when we cannot confirm something, the page says so plainly instead of printing a guess.
