What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

So far, only Eurogamer is talking about this — if confirmation shows up, it’ll be added here.

Bottom line: Better wait for someone else to confirm before taking it as a given.
