The game uses a hexadecimal system for levelling up, and there technically exists a soft level cap of 65535 due to it. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, if a player were to ever level up to 65535 and level up the game, it would instantly freeze and crash, as the lowest possible level the game will recognize is a value of 1, and leveling 1 level up from 65535 causes the level counter to reset to 0, causing the error and crash. It may even corrupt save files.

I think this information should replace the clearly false claim that there is no level cap. 2601:405:4000:1F50:6900:C257:F85F:B75E ( talk) 13:13, 18 January 2022 (UTC) reply

I believe you, but can you provide a source that discuss this? Neocorelight ( Talk) 03:13, 8 June 2022 (UTC) reply

I have noticed that the article makes no mention of the Game of the Year Edition that was released. Comes with the game and a voucher to download the DLC content. There were two separate releases. Ones just a standard case, and one was released late 2022 that comes with a steelbook. NickWX28 ( talk) 17:27, 9 January 2023 (UTC) reply
