As a vague rule of thumb, reviewers can usually expect to receive a code roughly two weeks before the official launch, giving us enough time to appreciate and complete a title without having to rush through it to meet the deadline of the embargo dropping. One could argue that Rocksteady Studios needs time to make last-minute tweaks before sending the review codes out, though the game has already been delayed a year, so we’d expect it to be polished by now. Similarly, perhaps the online framework needs to be in place before launch, though this didn’t stop similarly online-focused games like Exoprimal from sending their review codes out in good time.
