Game review codes will be distributed in the coming days following the game's gold master status in early December, according to global PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling. To allow reviewers and streamers ample time for preparation, these codes are expected four weeks before the official launch.
Interestingly, initial reviews based on portions of the review build will surface a week after code distribution.
The developers have pushed the release date to ensure a polished and exceptional gaming experience for players at the start of 2025. The new release date is February 4th. This shift also strategically avoids direct competition with the launches of Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds, all slated for February.
The game will be available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Console players can expect 4K/30 fps and 1440p/60 fps support, with PS5 Pro optimization included at launch.
PC players 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.
