Big releases continue to come thick and fast in 2026, and fans of the strategy genre should have their eyes cast towards the release date of MENACE.
The title from Hooded Horse will be available on PC only on release, and the game has been compared to the likes of XCOM, which is sure to ignite further excitement in the passionate strategy playerbase.
With over 50k followers on Steam, MENACE looks set to make a big impact on its arrival, and Insider Gaming has all the details on the release date and the exact time you will be able to jump in and play.
When Does MENACE Release?
MENACE has an official release date of February 5, 2026, though this may change based on the region where you are located.
While the majority of players will be able to jump in on that date, others will have to wait until the early hours of the morning on the following day before the doors open to them.
This is because MENACE has a global release structure, becoming available simultaneously to players across the world, and not a staggered release.
What Time Does MENACE Release?
MENACE will be released at 6 AM PT on February 5, with the release taking place later in the morning for those elsewhere in the United States.
For those in Europe, MENACE releases in the afternoon, while those in Australia and nearby regions will have to stay up late to jump in immediately. Details of the release time come via SteamDB.
Unfortunately for players on console, there’s no news on a MENACE release on other platforms yet, so PC will be the only way to play at launch.
The table below highlights the release time of MENACE in major regions across the world, so you can count down exactly how long remains until the game is accessible.
| Time Zone | Release Time |

| Pacific Time (PT) | 6 AM – Feb. 5 |
