And on X, numerous fans openly expressed their discontent over the update.
No i lost faith in this game you claim it’s alive and well but keeping us in the dark doesn’t look alive and well to me give us new info and trailers that indicates this game really isn’t dead but keeping us in the dark since it was announced in 2021 isn’t a good sign.

That’s a strange way to say it. “It’s obvious” is kind of a speculative statement. You would think that someone working on it would have a more definitive answer.

It may be alive, but well?? That is a speculation at best. Until they start marketing it and show gameplay footage, it doesn’t exist. It’s taken way too long for us to not see any hint of progress other than words in the air.

While the majority of fans seemed to have lost all hope about the game, there are still some pretty excited over the prospect of reliving their childhood. As Saber Interactive is yet to revealwhat they have been busy cooking, only time will tell what they have in store for us and how fans will react towards the game once it is released.
