If a game is pre-downloaded will it launch without an internet connection?

I currently don't have an internet connection of my own. The bill is too high to fit in right now, but I can squeeze in a game here and there. I'm going to a friend's to pre-download Hellblade on Monday because it's the only time that we'll both be free. I wanted to know if I'll be wasting my time or if it'll even launch on Tuesday at my own home with no connection.
