Originally, it was theorised that one might land on 22 November due to the Waning Gibbous moon theory, but that day has come and gone with no fanfare.
Now, rumours are doing the rounds that Sony has nabbed the game’s marketing rights with an announcement perhaps tying in withPlayStation’s 30th anniversary on 3 December, but I’m dubious about that.
All we can do is stay vigilant as the truth is that an update, whether that be a trailer or not, could drop at any moment.
