The game will be available on store shelves from March 13, with a price tag of $60. Though the price is a little higher than the traditional PC selling price, the reasoning is explained in the addition of the game’s two announced DLC packs: the Battle of Forli and Bonfire of the Vanities, which console players have to purchase separately.
