They have claimed that in the summer of 2022, the game was rebooted for the fourth time. There have also been constant changes in the development team which doesn’t sit well with the game’s making.
The Twitter thread further suggests that the title has been rewritten again and again because the writing wasn’t on par with the franchise’s reputation.
