Editorial boundary
Useful now, explicit about what is not known
This guide now publishes eight source-reviewed topics. Its trophy page reports the current evidence state; it does not invent a full roadmap, boss roster, or unsupported PC-spec table.
Capcom states September 4, 2026, and the US PlayStation Store displays 04:00 UTC for that date. Steam may show a different local calendar date and now has an official preload notice, so check your own storefront before purchase or play.
