With the huge caveat that this is based on my imperfect memory and was from a couple of weeks ago at least, I think they were hoping to get the CEs out by the end of August, in time for PS5 CE purchasers to get their keys before the start of their 72h act 1 early access. And in line with the initial release date of 31 August.
If anyone has anything more definite, though, then please do correct me!
