We ask that you please be considerate of the many fans who do not want to accidentally see clips, gameplay, or narrative spoilers and avoid sharing them wider.”

While Sony works on removing spoilers from the internet, spoiler-free reviews for the game are now live. The game will be available on November 9, 2022, on PS4 for $60 and on PS5 for $70.
