When will I be able to play cross-region?
As the game is being published through multiple publishing partners, each with their own echosystems, the likelihood of this happening is small.
When will Dirty Bomb’s NDA be lifted?
[ul]
[li]There’s still a while before that’s going to happen, so make sure you stick to the NDA, and don’t accidentally leak any info/material. We know you all want to show the game, and your skills, off to the public; but you’ll need to wait a little bit longer before you can do that.

Hope that helps a bit folks!
