Far Cry New Dawn
In the modern day of gaming, with digital day one patches and extensive post-launch patch support, gold master is an outdated term without really any meaning. But developers still will use the more modernized "gone gold" as a marker that development of the game is essentially done, and it's ready to be printed onto discs and sold on digital marketplaces.
It's good to see Far Cry New Dawn go gold three weeks before launch. Hopefully this suggest the game will be almost bug free and considerably polished.
Far Cry New Dawn is in development for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and is poised to release on February 15, priced at $39.99 USD. At the moment of publishing, there's been no word of a Nintendo Switch port, which seems unlikely at this point, especially given that Far Cry 5 was never even ported to the Nintendo system.

"Seventeen years after a global nuclear catastrophe, civilization re-emerges from the chaos to find a world dramatically changed. In a post-apocalyptic Hope County, Montana, the remaining populace has gathered into different groups, each with their own rules for survival.
"In this new world order, the vicious Highwaymen, led by twin sisters Mickey and Lou, travel from place to place bleeding people dry of all available resources. As the Survivors try to defend their lands against the Highwaymen’s relentless onslaught, it’s up to you to come to their aid and lead the fight."
