Since being revealed at The Game Awards 2023, the team at Archetype have diligently been releasing lore info and teasers via videos, blog posts, and even a pair of novels by Peter F. Hamilton.

I felt slightly sleepy and was thinking about just going back to bed.

"This is my story, not yours. You must let me finish telling it." That is until I spot behind Geoff Keighley, the stage is starting to fog up and the background has changed to some creepy woods.
