Dead Space PS5 - Chapter 6 Progress Bug, autosave issue with tentacle arm

I found a new bug after Dead Space (PS5) was updated last night. I'm on Chapter 6 "Environmental Hazard" currently tasked with taking out the wheezers. On my way to Wheezer #7, there is a point where you are dragged by a tentacle and you have to shoot at its weak point to free yourself. As I failed to sever the tentacle in time, I reloaded my auto-save without allowing the death animation to complete.

The bug comes after reloading the auto-save because when you try to move through the door that triggers the tentacle event, the tentacle isn't triggered and you're unable to proceed through the door. However, you might be able to find the tentacle laying on the ground as though it started its animation, but got stuck before latching itself onto Isaac which would have otherwise allow the game to progress. You can stomp on its weak point and kill it, but it also doesn't fix the problem. When I tried to load a manual save at the last save station I used before this point, it rendered Isaac completely invisible.

I'm really hoping that I don't have to start the game completely over, but I wanted to bring awareness in case it is truly something new and not something that was already reported but yet to be patched out.
