According to what was previously announced, the game is scheduled to be released in the summer of next year 2023. Announcing the date next month may be appropriate as Square Enix will have 5-6 months to promote and market the game.
Of course, the developer has hinted that the game will have a specific release date before the end of this year, which adds to the validity of these leaks, as The Game Awards event is the most prominent among the remaining video game events for this year and is well-suited to reveal the game's release date.
According to a short promotional video published on the official PlayStation Twitter account, we learned that the game will be released exclusively on the PlayStation 5 platform for a period of just 6 months, as long as it is released on other platforms after the end of this period.
There are also reports that the game may get a demo that will be released shortly before the official launch in the summer of next year, but we have not received official confirmation on this.
