Lol this can't be true. Game is not even releasing on XB1, nothing was announced. Why would it be UWP exclusive? That would be like... worst move ever.

They both did get the same exact boxart, which hopefully means it's not a mock-up and has been provided by SE. I don't see why they would release a Day One Edition if it isn't going to release at the same time
The PC boxart does seem to feature extra detail on the cover. So either there's a bigger version of that artwork, either it was touched up or it's an official one.
Did not say uwp exclusive..... no one is that dumb.... just spitballing of course.

40?
Instant Gaming is just a key reseller, not an authorised distributor.

It is indeed, but isnt it relying on physical boxes ?
Seems to imply it is indeed getting a physical release.
Yes, but it's not going to be privy to a release date ahead of the retailers that Squeenix is actually affiliated with.
I don't mean to be a party-pooper: I just don't think a Bulgarian retailer listing (which is at odds with another) and a Day One Edition make for a smoking gun.

Nice, 40 euros is cheaper than normal?
Jup, but you can pay in other currencys too.
The price will be higher when its released.
i don´t know but you have a "price guarantee" so... i preorderd.

40€ seems nice. The prices of the physical edition are approximately 55 (and that's a discount price for preorders) which is a bit higher than usual for a delayed PC release such as this.
yeah.. but i want to belive.

Ok this is what you get in the delivery confirmation when you pre-order PC version on their NA store:
Was it always like this? This can't be just a placeholder right?
I mean store still says "Early 2017" which should be Q1 2017, and Q1 is ending on March 31... so confusing.
That sounds a bit more realistic. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if SE delays the game further for some dumb reason.

Ok crazy conspiracy theory here. With preorders popping in a bunch of sites all of the sudden and Square Enix running a publisher weekend sale on steam... Maybe they are planning on opening official steam preorders this weekend for maximum visibility and have sent the heads up to retail partners that they can start their preorders ?
I'd say that would make more sense to do at the start of the sale while people are still actively looking through the offers rather than at the end of it

It's a conspiracy
A conspiracy is what you have to build in order to justify why a company going completely silent about what platforms other than PS4 a game is being released, to the point of only showing the PS4 logo or name as if it was exclusive in all press notes and promo material.

I preorderd the pc key on amazon days ago, amazon has it and you get $20 off if prime
it says dec 31st which I think is a placeholder since my kh3 preorder also says dec 31st
Prime is charging me full price it seems. The prime discount isn't applying to digital titles for me.

nah
Its not a conspiracy, clearly Sony paid to have more focus on the PS4 version. The PC version will be superior too ( if you have a better card)
Street Fighter V was the same

go all the way to checkout and double check, it shows full price but it should update at that final checkout screen, make sure its the one from Amazon Digital Services LLC and not 3rd party or something
Saito Producer just mentioned steam version on the Dengeki stream.
He said they are working on it, but they have to do something about the pirating issue, and because of recent certain game being broken (I assume he is mentioning RE7 issue but I am not 100% sure) they have to do something about it. He said it won't take long so please wait for it.

Online only will cause a lot more lost sales than the ones attributed to piracy.
There are ways around that though.
Best bet would be to slap Denuvo on it but even then the game would be cracked eventually.
The fact that Denuvo was cracked way too early for RE7 is the reason why they are taking more time according to his statement...

God damn it. They're gonna put some Denuvo version on it which will even mess with mods.
welp ... thats bull**** .... so that will probably result in huge delay and denuvo 2.0 on top :-(
I guess i will buy something else instead ... i guess they once again care more about pirates than about sold copies .. i guess i am gonna throw up
pretty much this !!!!!
Fuck sake, how about treating your paying customers with some respect SE. It's not like games without DRM never sell well *cough* Witcher 3 *cough*
