Review codes for the game, achieving gold status in early December, will be distributed "in the coming days," according to Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the global public relations manager. 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, are anticipated a week after code distribution.

The release date was shifted to ensure a high-quality launch experience in early 2025, now set for February 4th. This adjustment also helps minimize competition with other major 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 support, with PS5 Pro optimization implemented from launch.

PC players aiming for ultra settings will require an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, 32GB of RAM, and a GeForce RTX 4080 or Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card.
