Assasins creed Origins preload

According to Ubisoft this should be available to preload from yesterday 24th but CDkeys.com have not sent a key to me yet, has anyone preloaded it ?

Yes it looks like a winner & I can't wait for Friday launch, sure there will be bugs and the usual ' if it won't run on my machine then it's the games fault' rants but it's a step in the right direction.
I just wish they's dump the Desmond modern day stuff as it totally distracts from the immersion for me.

Yup, mine is preloaded and ready to go and I agree on the modern day stuff.

Can I ask where you purchased the key?

that's also the price on CDkeys.com & several others

Just preordered from CDKeys but still saying pre order where the key should be. £37.99 too so can't say no to that!

Isn't that £39.99 that's what I paid earlier

Just had a look it's now £38.99 :confused:

Usher, I used the 5% off code when I entered my email on Facebook.

Usher, I got my key from CDKeys in the download link via email and preloading now, check yours.

37.48GB

thanks, I just looked & I've added the key but I'm queued for the download

EDIT: I clicked 'pause' even though it hadn't started and then 'resume' and it began to download, is it playable from midnight I wonder?

Seems it is playable at 9.oclock if you ordered it via Steam :

The actual launch times on PC differ by storefront. Through Uplay, Assassin’s Creed Origins will be playable at 00.01 local time (just after midnight), on 27 October. Those regions which pass midnight first will be able to play the game first. Over on Steam, it will be released at the set time of 04.00 UTC, 27 October. That means it’ll be out on Steam at 21.00 PST the day before (26 October), and at midnight in the EST zone, and so on.

I've just looked on Steam and it says :
Available: 26 October
This game will unlock in approximately 9 hours

presumably their websites not been updated

The good news is it is set to be playable for Europe at Paris time and like most of the EU they are 1 hour ahead so should be 11 oclock for the UK

It was playable just after 11 oclock and it runs very well pretty much maxed out, really enjoyable so far but I've spent a fair bit of time hunting skins to upgrade my armour etc.
