Game review codes will be distributed in the coming days following the game's gold master status achievement in early December, as confirmed by 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 "final previews," based on sections of the review build, are anticipated 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 strategic move also helps mitigate competition with the simultaneous releases of Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds in February.
Platform availability includes PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Console players can expect 4K/30 fps and 1440p/60 fps support, with PS5 Pro optimization implemented from launch.
PC gamers 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.
