According to Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the global public relations manager, review codes for the highly anticipated game will be distributed "in the coming days" following the game's gold status in early December. This strategic move is designed to allow reviewers and streamers ample time to form their initial impressions and craft comprehensive reviews, with codes expected to be released four weeks ahead of the game's launch.
Interestingly, the first "final previews" based on segments of the game from the review version are slated to be available just a week after the codes are distributed. This early glimpse will provide a sneak peek into the game's quality and features.
In a thoughtful decision aimed at delivering an exceptional gaming experience at the start of 2025, the developers have opted to delay the game's release. The new launch date is set for February 4. This adjustment not only ensures a polished product but also strategically avoids direct competition with other major titles like Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds, all set to release in February.
The game will be available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Console players can expect stunning visuals with support for 4K at 30 fps and 1440p at 60 fps. Additionally, the game has been optimized for the PS5 Pro from the get-go, ensuring an enhanced experience for those with the latest hardware.
For PC gamers aiming to experience the game at ultra settings, the recommended specifications include an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, paired with 32GB of RAM and a powerful graphics card such as the GeForce RTX 4080 or Radeon RX 7900 XT. These specs will ensure that players can enjoy the game at its highest visual fidelity.
