Is Croc coming this month? They said Q1 2024 but no new info. What are the chances it'll be delayed again?

Well I'm in full speculation mode. Apparently GOG is still saying they'll ship the physical game in Q2, and the digital release is still officially slated for Q1. But Limited Run Games also said the physical copy would ship in December of last year before it got delayed, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I'm just wondering if it's likely it could get delayed again. There was also an interview with the creators of the game where they didn't really say anything about when it was releasing except explained the reasons for the delay.
If they're on track to release digitally in Q1, that's this month (March). Is it really feasible that it could drop this month considering they haven't announced a specific release date yet (aside from the Q1 window they gave near the end of last year)? Surely they would first make a more accurate release date announcement, and then want there to be some time in advance notice before it actually releases? Is less than 1 month enough time between announcement & release? If so what's the least time they would realistically leave it before announcing, 1 week before release? Seems like if it's going to meet the predicted window (which after they already delayed it past the previous one they may be disincentivised from doing, also considering some reviewers have already played the game) wouldn't the date have to be announced any day now as per usual game release protocol?

Apparently influencers may have playable copies of it already

As much as I love Croc, it's not like this is a highly anticipated high budget release of a new title.
My guess is that they'll keep the new date secret for as long as they can, until they're completely sure they can make it (especially after they didn't make it for the original one). It wouldn't be the first time game like this gets released without much of a marketing drive or even with a stealth drop.
These slowly appearing previews seem to indicate we might be getting close but who knows. I'm honestly not good enough with dates to join you on the speculation train.
