This has been asked in a bunch of threads, so here is the centralized answer: The demo will be available tomorrow (9/21) at 10am EDT, the same time as the full game unlocks.

It'll be available worldwide.

That is a very "centralized" answer...

Releasing the demo at the same time as the game... ******ed when they promised early release.

Works for me. Download demo, play demo, decide whether to preorder, enter preorder, get game with discount, check.

Iono. No steam acct presently. We'll know in 17 hours 7 minutes. In any case, we will likely experience bandwidth choke if the activity on these forums is anything to go by.

Patch? DLC? 1st expansion? Make your choice.

Damn... all day today I thought it was being released @ midnight EST, but I guess I have to wait until after work tomorrow.

I hear you... Although I'm still a little ambivalent about the new installment... I will certainly miss the Espionage and Religion...

I have a simple question and I couldn't find a simple answer to it...
Why the downloadable version of the game (directly bought at steam) have an unlock time to USA (21, September) and another one to the rest of the world (23/24 september, plus a few hours)?
Not a complain, it's a genuine curiosity.
