Game review codes will be distributed in the coming days following the game's gold master status achievement in early December, as confirmed by global PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling. To allow reviewers and streamers ample time for preparation, these codes are expected to be released four weeks before launch.
Interestingly, initial "final previews," based on sections of the review build, are anticipated a week after code distribution.
The developers opted to delay the launch to ensure a polished and exceptional gaming experience for players at the start of 2025. The current release date is February 4th. This shift also strategically avoids direct competition with the February releases of Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
Platform availability includes PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Console players can expect 4K/30 fps and 1440p/60 fps options, with PS5 Pro optimization implemented from launch.
PC gamers aiming for ultra settings will require a system featuring 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.
