By the sounds of it the 31/03 is only for Europe, America its the 19/04

Incase you don't know , if you are from the US you can just type in 'Steam UK , Australia' ect and log into the webpage that way - purchase that version of the game and dowload it when it comes out there. ie - 2 weeks earlier.

i am going to guess that the steam program will have tobe installed ...if for nothing else so you can get updates/patches, i think it maybe a forgone conclusion that Steam/Steamworks are involved box or no box.

Not necessarily all of Europe. I'm in Estonia and I can't view it on Steam (the announcement is on the news page, but I click it and it says 'Oops! Sorry! Not available in your region!').

And no, Estonia is not really Eastern Europe. We are only 200km away from Finland who are getting it on the 31st, so why we wouldn't be is beyond me. Hopefully there's just a delay for us and I'll be able to wake up one day this week and be able to see that it's there for us on Steam on the 31st.

I doubt it though. Games companies seem to hate us

@OlegMaddox
Can we play this game online without the Steam software?

@Julianontube No

Found in comments of video-link from last friday:


So online-play is via STEAM.

What happened to t he 24 march release date? Why did they tease us like this. Now its allmost 2 weeks until the game will arrive.
Now I will go for the boxed version. In my country it says on the stores here they will get it 31 mars anyway.

Life is what happens while you make other plans.

Waiting 6 years and more for this title, one more week won't kill you.

Man I know the feeling steam did that to me with a game... dangled it in front of me like a carrot and then went to buy it and got "Not yet available in your region"!!!!
