(Some?) 'Batman: Arkham Knight' Review Copies Won't Go Out Until Launch

Forbes: IGNs review of the game will be next Friday, so it does appear that either some outlets will receive code earlier than others, or that something else entirely is going on. Kotaku will also have their review live before launch. This was one thing I had speculated about below, and had sent out queries to other writers to find out what they had heard. My other speculation, as noted below, is that the PR agency Id received this information from was mistaken. Its possible Forbes will still receive their review copy prior to launch. But it does seem odd to send out some review copies to some publications ahead of launch, and some at launch. Im not sure what the point would be. If its a matter of having to own PS4 debug units in order to review prior to launch (as was the case with Witcher 3) then Xbox One and PC gamers are left in the lurch. Thats also an odd decision, and one Ive almost never encountered over the past few years until now.
