2026 is shaping up to be a great year for new game releases, and strategy game enthusiasts will definitely want to watch for MENACE.
The new game from Hooded Horse will launch initially on PC only. Because it’s similar to popular strategy games like XCOM, it’s expected to be a hit with fans of the genre.
MENACE is generating a lot of excitement with over 50,000 followers on Steam, and TopMob has the latest information on when you can start playing – including the official release date and time.
When Does MENACE Release?
MENACE is scheduled to be released on February 5, 2026, but the exact date may vary depending on your location.
Most players will be able to start playing on the release date, but some will have to wait until the very early morning of the next day to begin.
MENACE will launch worldwide all at once, rather than being released in stages.
What Time Does MENACE Release?
Okay, so mark your calendars! MENACE is dropping at 6 AM Pacific Time on February 5th. If you’re not on the West Coast, it’ll launch a bit later in the morning for you, depending on where you are.
Players in Europe can start playing MENACE this afternoon. However, those in Australia and surrounding areas will need to stay up late to access it right when it launches. SteamDB has provided the specific release times.
Currently, MENACE is only confirmed to launch on PC. There’s no information available yet about a release on consoles.
Here’s a quick guide to when MENACE will be released in different parts of the world, so you can see exactly when you’ll be able to start playing.
