“It was more us looking at the next-gen and PC performance, rather than the current-gen. We definitely did not spend enough time looking at that, so I wouldn’t say that we felt any external or internal pressure to, you know, launch on the dates any other than a normal pressure, which typically coincides with really any release. That was not the cause.”
CEO Marcin Iwinski also shed light on what went wrong during the developmental process.
”We actually showed the console footage, but we actually never showed it on the last-gen consoles. The reason for that is that we were updating the game on the last-gen consoles until the very last minute and we thought we’d make it on time.”
He further added, “Unfortunately, this resulted in giving it to you as just one day before the release. That was definitely too late, and we didn’t give the chance to media to review it properly, and definitely we are the ones to blame. It was not intended, we were just fixing the game until the very last moment.”

Marcin was also quizzed about the future of the franchise and how fast can they roll out updates. Answering the questions, he said that the game is currently being scrutinized, while other teams are busy working on the multiplayer and other aspects of the game.
He offered no dates on their release, saying it’s a bit difficult to judge, but did say that the patch updates will release before Christmas and by January and February.
