Some commentators have described the move as anti-consumer, but Bethesda says it wants everybody to experience its games at the same time. This will apply to all Bethesda games going forward, which means that Dishonored 2 review code will also be sent out late. It was recently confirmed that Skyrim Remastered reviews will be delayed, after Bethesda announced a new review policy ahead of the Special Edition release date.īethesda said that review code for Skyrim Remastered would be sent out 24-hours before launch. It might be a while before you read your first Skyrim Special Edition review, because Bethesda decided to withold review code until the day before release.
