Source distinction matters: Nexon’s Korean notice is the primary source for 6:30 p.m. KST. PC Gamer’s time-zone table is secondary reporting of the Discord-announced hour, not an English official-site schedule. The English Steam listing confirms the date but does not state a release hour. PC Gamer’s launch-time guide.

Nexon announced a global PC and console release. The Korean launch notice named Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and Microsoft Store as storefronts for the 6:30 p.m. KST launch; that list describes the notice’s named storefronts, rather than a complete compatibility statement.
