Updating release date for a video game
I recently voiced 2 characters in a game (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13552396/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_2) that came out this year, but the game was originally released in 2019. Is there a way to show this as 2025 and not 2019 on my IMDb page? Thanks so much for your help with this!
