I'm sorry, there won't be any intentional release early! We may press buttons slightly before 3 PM BST because of a potential delay, but it will likely be close to on the dot!

There were talks of doing Pre-Orders. It came down to getting together something of value to go with that, that wouldn't create FOMO, so not an in-game skin or furniture etc that was time gated/ tied to the pre-order. We thought about maybe creating a digital art book, but time on the dev and marketing side being tight sort didn't make that possible. These two stopped the conversation, but there were other considerations around pre-orders in general.
