product launch

New offering reveal

A product launch is the organized introduction of a new product to the market, typically involving marketing campaigns, press announcements, and promotional events.

Companies build anticipation before the launch date and coordinate messaging across channels: Apple's product launches are legendary for their secrecy and showmanship.

The term applies to everything from software releases to consumer goods.
