As a precaution, the information relayed by Gematsu remains to be taken with tweezers, since it has no official character, but a listing on the PEGI site generally augurs a formalization in stride. Asked about the issue by our colleagues from GamesRadar, a representative of the Polish studio remained evasive, recalling that it was only a legal procedure and that the date mentioned by PEGI was the one on which the classification had been established. See you in the next few hours to see if CD Projekt RED confirms the information anyway or not.
