It was first announced at E3 in 2014 with a stunning trailer, and was originally planned for release in 2015. Developers even showed it off to the press at Gamescom. They had big plans for an eight-player co-op mode, but the project ran into a lot of problems, delaying the game for nearly ten years. At one point, it seemed like it would never come out, but the team kept working on it, and now the series will continue with a sequel.
