Game review codes will be distributed within days of the game achieving gold master status in early December, according to global PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling. To allow reviewers and streamers sufficient time for preparation, these codes are expected four weeks before the game's launch.
Interestingly, initial previews based on review code builds will be available a week after the code distribution.
The release date postponement, to February 4th, 2025, aims to deliver a polished gaming experience to kick off the new year. This also strategically avoids direct competition with the February releases of Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
Platform support 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.
For PC players aiming for ultra settings, the recommended specifications are: Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, 32GB RAM, and either a GeForce RTX 4080 or Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card.
