    preload and exact starting time worldwide?

    Hi,

    i have two basic questions:

    1. Will we be able to preload the game? If yes when will the preload start?
    2. At what time exactly will we be able to start playing the game on the 10th of november? Can we please have an overview with the exact starting times worldwide?

    thx and best wishes

    1) Probably yes and around 3 days before I'd say, going by the Legion launch.
    2) Usually it's midnight local time for Ubi games.

    Can we begin to preload also the ps5 of the game on the server if you get it through the free upgrade on the day one?

    Absolutely no idea what they're doing with the PS5, I'm afraid, since Valhalla releases first.

    Which local time?
    Montréal time?

    Or GMT maybe?

    Your local time. That said, daylight saving may make a difference, Legion unlocked at 11:00 last night, for me...

    For those of us who have ordered from the Ubi Store and are expecting a physical delivery of some sort it losing hours of game play dependant on the local post service is tough...

    You will probably get your physical copy a few days early, and can play it like everybody else when it unlocks on the 10th.

    I bought a key from the Kinguin site. Anyone have any experience with how and when they send the keys? Would be nice to download the game in advance.

    I'm not sure about Canade, but here in the US it unlocks at midnight Eastern Time across the whole country. I am in Colorado, Mountain time and actually get to start playing at 10pm on the 9th.
