Thought I'd heard this has been put back to a 2018 release. I've just seen it in local asda for pre order, a little early I'd say

You can pre-order it at GAME and Argos too.  As soon as a game is officially announced nowadays, retailers open the doors for pre-orders which helps them get that little bit extra cash to source the stock. 

 

Why anybody would pre-order a game that's over a year away though is beyond me though - I'd rather keep hold of my money to spend elsewhere and if I did desperately want first dibs on a game; I'd pre-order a week or a couple of days before the game is launched.

Agreed, that just sound like Asda / Walmart trying to get in early on the cash cow of pre-orders. However, based on this I'm hoping I can pre-order Destiny 5 later.
