Overview
- IO Interactive announced a synchronized worldwide full launch on May 27, 2026 with regional unlocks tied to a single global reference time of 3:00 PM BST.
- Digital pre-orders are automatically upgraded to the Digital Deluxe Edition and receive 24 hours of early access starting May 26, 2026, making the standard pre-order the practical route to play early.
- The game will release at launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, with a Nintendo Switch 2 build arriving later in 2026.
- IOI disabled the common ‘New Zealand trick’ and other region-hopping workarounds so every player gains access at the published global moment.
- The studio released a launch trailer that names principal cast members and locations, and publisher notes plus reporting show physical discs require a launch-day patch so early shipped copies lack the full campaign until updated.
