Wishlist is not the same as preorder
The checked official pages currently ask players to add Crimson Moon to a wishlist. A wishlist notification is not a paid preorder, does not reserve a preload, and does not guarantee an early download. The absence of an announcement is also not proof that a preorder, physical edition, demo, or subscription release will never happen. This page will change only when a first-party destination publishes the answer.
