So April 11th is the release date, but what about release time? Normally with Steam I would expect to be able to play the game at midnight on the day before. (So as soon as Weds 11th begins.)
However Steam says that LoG will release in approximately 2 weeks and 1 hour, this means we wont get to play the game untill approximately 6pm BST in the UK on day of release?
The reason I ask is I am thinking of booking the day of work, but if I wont get to play it until the evening there would be no reason to do this.
Can you confirm?
Cheers,
Daniel.

Good question. Sometimes the Steam countdowns are inaccurate. It would be helpful to know if they are currently accurate for all time zones.
In US-Eastern it currently is scheduled for 1pm on the 11th.
Note: This is probably accurate. This is the same time that Steam normally updates every day. (10AM US-Pacific). They don't seem to deviate from that too much, unless it's some big launch where special arrangements are made. Seems unlikely Grimlock will receive that treatment.
That being said, it's possible GOG and AH need not wait until that same time to release the stand-alone installer unless they have some sort agreement in place.

remember there will be a direct download if you got it from the devs, as well as the GOG version, but yes you do ask a fair point, and yes steam is annoying when it comes to releasing games on time, they usally push the time to around midnight for BST, sometimes its not always a good idea to expect to play the game on the day of release when it comes to steam
I'm from Germany and Steam usually gets updated at 7pm here (which make the 6pm in the UK guess seem right). Perhaps the standalone version will appear earlier that day though?
OMG, I have just realized it's a April fools trick, LOG is really being released on April the first. Haha, you nearly had us all fooled with that one AH, but we have caught you out.
