Menace launch time and release date

If, like me, you’re constantly starving for another crunchy tactics game, it’s hard to imagine a better pitch than Menace: an interplanetary, turn-based sci-fi tactical RPG from the developers of Battle Brothers, the excellent medieval mercenary band manager. If you’re eager to trade spears and shield walls for strike cruisers and space battalions, you’ll need to know the Menace launch times and release date, and I’ve gathered your marching orders below.

Menace is launching in early access, which Overhype says it expects will last a year. The game operates at a broader scale than Battle Brothers: You’ll be ordering full units as opposed to individual soldiers—but that doesn’t make the stakes any less brutal for your troops. Your forces might not be as eager, but here’s when you can deploy.

When is the Menace unlock time?

Menace is launching in early access at 6 am PST on February 5. While Americans on the west coast will need to wake up early if they want to be among the first shipping out for the renegade regions of space, that should make for some comfortable playtime during launch day waking hours for everyone west of China.
