Probably can’t be answered yet but will the early access release 24th at midnight?

Not one to usually go for early access but it turns out that Tuesday I’m kid and work free until Wednesday lunch time so the through of getting a whole day in playing has me excited.

What I don’t want to happen though is Tuesday to come and the game not be released until that evening or something.

Did DS1 do early access? If so, what time did it release?
