The developer cited quality assurance as the primary reason for the delay and apologized to fans, reaffirming their commitment to delivering a next-gen open-world experience that “exceeds expectations.”
The delay comes despite record-breaking anticipation, especially after the game’s 2023 trailer shattered YouTube viewership records within hours of its release.
