Older official coverage named September 25. Capcom's newer release-date notice is the controlling source and moves the game forward to September 4. The Early Adopter Bonus is available through September 25 at 4:59 PM PDT / 7:59 PM EDT, replacing the narrower preorder-only framing.
The demo is enough to test the opening combat, not enough to support a retail review, complete boss guide, final performance verdict, ending guide, or best-weapon tier list. Those require the released game.
