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 reviews based on sections of the review build will surface a week after the code distribution.
The developers shifted the release date to ensure a polished launch experience in early 2025. The new release date is February 4th. This adjustment also helps minimize competition with other high-profile releases like 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.
PC players aiming for ultra settings will need 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.
