Why wishlist now

A 2027 release window means the useful announcements — a date, a demo, pre-orders, a beta — are all still ahead. On most stores, the wishlist list is the notification channel for exactly those beats, and it is also the number publishers watch when deciding how loudly to market a game. For a sequel nine years after the last main entry, that number is the community's megaphone.

PC details so far

The Steam listing at launch scope covers the practical basics: English as the listed language, full controller support, Remote Play Together for streaming co-op to a friend, and Family Sharing. Console editions are being announced platform by platform through the first-party channels.

Save data and cross-play

Team17's announcement focused on the escape fantasy rather than connectivity details, and the store listings are currently sparing with them. What is confirmed is the shape of the multiplayer: two players local, four online on every platform. Everything beyond that will surface on the store pages nearer launch.
