Although we haven’t announced the release date yet, we naturally already have in mind when it should come out. The plans have not changed but, although production is progressing towards that goal, hypothetical unexpected factors that could influence development times must be considered. We said it will come out in 2025 and that doesn’t change. The release date will be announced next year.
Development isn’t finished yet, but I feel confident, and it’s turning out to be an even stranger game than the first. We’re making it thinking there’s no game like this out there.
