'1996' isn't the correct release year for the PC version

I noticed a user changed the PC version's release date and source a few months ago, from 1998 to 1996. A CNET source had already cited 1998 as the release year (via a release-schedule article from April 1998). I'm restoring it in a moment.

Previously, the source in the article pointed to a preview in a magazine. The writer speculated a March 1996 release for the PC version. And then they reviewed the PC version that very same issue. Most likely, they were reviewing beta code, and then the game got heavily postponed and/or they simply had wrong info.

In addition, there's undeniable evidence that the first game came out on PC/DOS in early 1996, sometime between January and April; thus, it's unfeasible that the second game was released before the first game. Xanarki (talk) 23:10, 11 October 2025 (UTC)

I see the confusion now. The previously used source for 1996 (Intelligent Gamer magazine) reviewed the PlayStation version of Toshinden 2, but, made a typo and labeled it as the PC version. In the text itself, they brought up the PlayStation's controllers, they listed February as the release date (despite speculating a March release date in that same issue), and they didn't mention any sort of PC-oriented/hardware aspects either.
