The video showcases what appears to be a final or near-final build of the game, including the first hour of gameplay.

While you may have seen much of it as part of the demo, there are definitely moments that weren’t included.

Chiefly, we get to see the opening cutscene, which features a heroine who will prove very familiar to old fans of the series.

Of course, you should keep in mind that the video includes mild spoilers for those who want to go in completely blind

Mind you, from what we have seen so far, the game appears to include the most telegraphed plot twist of the story of the gaming industry, but we can’t know for sure just yet.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
