What is missing from this timeline

We have not listed unverifiable social-media rumours, deleted posts or unsourced release dates. We have also not treated wishlist milestones as sales, reviews as endorsements, or a demo patch as a full-game patch.

The next substantive update should be a price, a launch trailer, an unlock time, a review embargo or the game going live. When it happens, this page will be updated manually with a source link rather than regenerated to look new.

Where to verify breaking news

If a source is not linked on this page, we have not adopted it as fact.
