Of course, not everything depends on pre-orders.
But, typically, if there is a lot of preorders, the game is marketed better and more different ways, and sells better, and than there will be DLCs/sequel, etc.

Question: Is this game going to be released at the same time everywhere? Or does the cold northern scandinavia get this game later like most of the games? There is still no pre-order possibility here, that's why Im asking this.
