On March 17th, 2025, Josef Fares, head of Hazelight Studios, had a chat with the hosts of Friends Per Second Podcast, which was later uploaded on SkillUp YouTube channel. In this discussion, Fares acknowledged and thanked players worldwide for their positive response towards the game. Moreover, he appreciated their role in the game’s phenomenal sales success. It appears that one might expect them to take a break for celebration now.

Indeed, it appears that the response is negative, since Hazelight Studios has shifted focus to their upcoming project now that the game has been distributed worldwide, as mentioned by Fares. At the time of this podcast interview, Fares stated that there’s a particular reason why he “can’t discuss the next game” because it’s still quite early in its development process.

Later on, he emphasized that the team is thrilled to be embarking on their newest endeavor, which has been underway for roughly a month. Fares also disclosed that the team typically doesn’t engage in game development projects that span over “three or four years,” so we can expect updates about this forthcoming project within a few years.
