That said, while the game’s release date remains undisclosed, game director Mathijs de Jonge did have a lot to say about the game in the aforementioned video, and in the process, revealed some brand new details about the game.
For example, there will be “virtually” no loading screens. This includes both loading from checkpoints after death and fast-traveling. Meanwhile, the director reveals that the map is bigger, and as the trailer suggests, it has underwater sections.
Also like the trailer suggests, there are “dozens” of new machines, as well as new tribes, some of which are peaceful, while others are hostile. For more on all of these details, be sure to check out the video below, which runs at around 3 minutes.
