In a recent interview with Gamefile, Phill Spencer was asked about the highly anticipated title and the development troubles it went through in Ukraine due to the war. Spencer thinks ‘the fact the game is shipping all up is remarkable‘ and that it is going to be some people’s favorite Game of The Year.

The quality has really come a long way, and I’m proud that we got to partner to get that game done. I think it’s going to be on some people’s lists of their favorite game of the year.

The Xbox boss has already played the game himself so him saying such things about it like this hypes the fandom even more. The requirements might be a bit harsh given you can’t maintain 60FPS with an RTX 4090 at 4K native resolution but hopefully, the overall experience would be better
