Release date + pre-orders.
Didn't we know this (kinda) two weeks ago?
The game's release date is 17 April 2025. The Premium version will provide an early 2-day access, i.e. from 15 April 2025. Pre-orders will be launched around 25 March 2025 in Europe with the same prices as those of the Xbox Series version.
Same guy in the OP, but one day off on the pre-orders.

At what point are MS going to realize that releasing day#1 on GamePass seems to hinder, rather than help virality?

Am I being unreasonable in thinking this? It just feels to me that it diminishes hype.

Not too sure on this one.

Regardless of the great reviews, this would have been dead on arrival without being on Game Pass.

Everything they showed beforehand looked average at best with little to no hype for the actual game.

I’m torn on this. I have gamespass but kinda wanna play it on the pro, but don’t wanna pay £70 when I technically already have it…which makes me think I should wait until it innevitavly ends up on plus.

I'll 100% pick this up in a year or two at a 75% sale. Looks like a decent enough experience, but the backlog be beckoning with bangers upon bangers.

I had hopes that this game would lean a bit more into the clue/puzzle/archaeologist side of things. I played Fate of Atlantis for the first time a couple of years ago and IMO it's the best entry to capture that feeling, even if it's a bit archaic and 2 dimensional. 😋

This one doesn't seem like it was a "timed exclusive" per se. Because the PS5 version was canceled midway during production, it seems like the PS5 version just needed more time to finish.

And because Avowed was delayed already, Xbox needed the Xbox version to be out for the Holiday season in 2024.

I suppose what I'm getting at is if MS promoted it as multi-plat in the lead up, then going "Get it now as part as Game Pass" would play better than the way they lead off with "here's this great new release on GamePass", and then go, "Oh you can buy it for $70 bucks on PS5 next week".

It feels like they are devaluing their own pitch.

Loved Indiana jones. Getting this physical is a no brainer. Just hope MS includes a disc instead of a download code 😐

Do people even care at this point?

The little buzz this game had died down already but I guess the DF thread can stir things up 😂
I don’t understand people who just go by “buzz”, do you actually believe that the only games that people care about are those that have Buzz and player count?

Yet another PS3 superiority win. It did Alfred Molina better than the PS5.

By the way anyone has access to the Twitter account that posted that Phil Spencer picture when the PS5 version was announced on TVGA? The guy, @BasicalliLexi, has put the padlock on his profile and I can no longer see that photo.

Hopefully this will have decent pro implementation, wish they would add being able to play third person like resident evil village
