They’re delaying the physical release for the same reason they’re delaying the PC release. To keep interest high over time and fleece collectors and double dippers. Is it not obvious?
It also has the added benefit of completely avoiding the largest early-leak vector



It annoys me when they show Edward using sleep darts and rope darts in the intro missions/areas. You don’t get the sleep darts until very late into the game, and the rope dart only when you finish it.
They did the same thing when Black Flag proginally released and I’m still mad about it now!
