Game review codes will be distributed within days of the game achieving gold status in early December, according to Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the global PR manager. To allow reviewers and streamers ample time for preparation, these codes are expected four weeks before the game's launch.
Interestingly, initial "final previews," based on sections of the review build, are anticipated a week after code distribution.
The release date was pushed back to February 4th, 2025, to ensure a polished and exceptional gaming experience for players at the start of the year. This postponement also strategically avoids direct competition with other major releases like Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds, all launching in February.
Platform availability includes PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Console players can expect 4K/30 fps and 1440p/60 fps options. The PS5 Pro version has been optimized for enhanced performance since its initial development.
For PC gamers aiming for ultra settings, a system with an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, 32GB of RAM, and either a GeForce RTX 4080 or Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card is recommended.
