I hate to be the party pooper here, BUT one reply from someone on the team doesn’t automatically mean things are on the up and up. Game developers can scrap an update even during production.
Case in point: Rockstar Games did this with GTA V and the notorious story mode DLC lie. They even had the actors who play the protagonists come in to do scenes for what they thought would be a DLC update and they posted pictures on social media, getting fans excited — however, that was all for nothing because Rockstar Games and their parent company, 2K Games decided GTA Online was more important. The DLCs got scrapped, despite the fact they were mid production. Needless to say, I’ve boycotted Rockstar and 2K games for that and so have a lot of people I personally know. Game developers get a bit too greedy to appease stockholders. If they’re more important than the fans who built these franchises, then let those stockholders buy their games. But that’s a whole different rant.
Anyways, I hope this means the game will continue, but until it happens, I’m skeptical. Game development companies are hard to trust these days.
