Midnight release. Like exactly midnight, wherever you live, whatever timezone it unlocks at 12:00 am. So for some people it will be the day before when others are playing, hence November 10.

The game is releasing by zones

For example in NA the game releases at 12:00AM EST 11/11/11, 11:00PM CST 11/10/11, 10:00PM MST 11/10/11, and 9:00 PM PST 11/10/11

The release time is specific to your region and should unlock around midnight of the 10th, in theory ticking over just at 11/11/11 starts. Don't trust the Steam timers and countdowns too much though there have been issues reposted from Beth.

DCDeacon recent said they changed their plan from midnight in every timezone to midnight EST.

I can't get on twitter to link at the moment, but he said this very, very recently.

Oh I'm sorry. That was just for the USA.

I'm not sure about the rest of the world. It's probably still midnight for you.

Not hour by hour, but general zones for each region. Phew.

I gotta say Bethesda is putting a surprisingly high amount of care into this release date thing.

Historically most companies just say something like "The game unlocks at 1pm PST. Deal with it."
