The developers have been releasing short diaries online, every week in the run-up to the game’s launch. Due to the COVID – 19 lockdown, social media has been utilised more than ever to generate hype.
The developers released a Tweet detailing the release times and when those who have bought the game can preload it on their PC or console.
Preloading is when you buy a digital edition of a game, which is most of the time now, especially for PC and you install it before the product’s release date. This means fans can play the game, the moment it releases.
The wait is almost over!
