The Burning Shores expansion is available to pre-order on the PlayStation Store right now and, according to the countdown on the Store page, will unlock as soon as the calendar ticks over to April 19th in local time. Customers who pre-order prior to the unlock time will be granted additional content in the form of a Blacktide Dye Outfit and Blacktide Sharpshot Bow.
