Ubisoft has published a new blog entry on its website that informs you about the plans on launch day, when the game is playable, how the different game versions are handled for preload and when you can expect the first reviews to come out.
Server Go-Live
The servers will go live officially and globally on March 8th at 00:01 AM Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT), which translates into the following timezones on March 7th:
- 02:00 PM CET
- 08:00 AM EST
- 05:00 AM PST
Reviewers won’t be able to play the game earlier than “normal” players, so give them some time to prepare their impressions if you are looking for those.
Preload
If you have bought a digital copy, you might be able to start the preload now, based on the platform. If you are not sure about the timezone you are living in or how to convert these numbers, we would recommend you to use tools like this converter to get your local time in a few seconds.
