  1. The game was released on PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
  2. The standard PC edition can be purchased on Steam, EA App and Epic Games Store. Console versions are available on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store.

  4. In addition to the standard edition, a Deluxe Edition is also available, which offers the so-called Ancient Relics Aveum Pack. It includes nine artifacts that make the game easier.
