Game review codes will be distributed within days of the game achieving gold 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 game's launch.
Interestingly, initial "final previews" based on sections of the review build will be available a week after code distribution.
The release date shift to February 4th, 2025, aims to deliver a polished gaming experience to kick off the new year. This also strategically avoids direct competition with Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds, all launching in 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 options, with PS5 Pro optimization included at launch.
PC players aiming for ultra settings will require 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.
