The Complete Edition is set to release sometime this year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. There is no exact release date yet. As previously announced, it includes a number of visual and technical improvements, including ray tracing and faster loading times. This applies to both the main game and the included expansions.
