The situation, however unpleasant, replicates what happened with the release 21 of the franchise, which always on PC did not have the characteristics experienced on the new generation gaming consoles.

In this regard, we report the words that Aaron McHardy, l’exectuive producer del titolo, had released last year to Eurogamer microphones:

“… We received that information to understand the power of the PCs that are in the world. And when we understood this, we realized that if we wanted to offer an experience similar to that of fifth generation home hardware, the minimum technical specifications required would have cut out a huge number of people, who would not have been able to enjoy our game. “
