Beginner's Field Dossier

Start with verified launch facts

Before release, the safest preparation is to separate confirmed information from speculation. Keep the launch date, platform list, official site, and storefront links in one place so every later guide can cite the same source data.

• Primary launch date: May 27, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
• Nintendo Switch 2 has a separate Summer 2026 window.
• IO Interactive is listed as both developer and publisher.

Plan your first-session checklist

Once the game is live, begin by checking the practical settings that affect every mission. This is especially important for a cinematic action-adventure where stealth readability, subtitles, controller mapping, and camera behavior can change how cleanly you read a room.

• Record graphics mode, performance mode, and HDR settings before the first mission.
• Check aim, camera, subtitle, vibration, and accessibility settings.
• Note any tutorial mechanics that appear repeatedly in early missions.

Use this guide as a live notebook

This guide is intentionally structured as a launch notebook. After release, it can grow into mission tips, stealth recommendations, combat notes, and collectible tracking without changing the URL.
