I just looked it up; March 28th as someone else mentioned...but that was only in Japan, and only theaters, it sounds like.
It sounds like the worldwide release was yesterday, under the name Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon. Not sure the distribution, though, and it's also listed as "screenings." Also, it sounds like it's just a compilation of season 1, with one new episode.

That seems like a pretty key detail. If it's like other shows that do recap compilations then it's safe to assume that episode is either the pilot for the next season or inconsequential to the larger plot. Good to know I won't have to worry about missing out on content then.

Almost certainly the latter.
From Wikipedia:
A compilation film of the first season and an original episode, "Hoshina's Day Off" (保科の休日, Hoshina no Kyūjitsu), was screened together in Japanese theaters for three weeks starting on March 28, 2025.
It's going to be filler, possibly even comedy, based on the name.
