This drop has yet to be officially acknowledged after appearing a few hours ago, so it’s hard to say why it happened or if it was a mistakenly early buzz in, but it happens to come as the game is nominated for Best Action Game in this year’s The Game Awards (while unfortunately also being in the midst of its publisher’s parent company, Embracer Group, continuing to shed staff and studios).
