Sounds like EA/Nintendo pricing has taken hold.

Maybe they fed some Marathon assets into Claude and asked it to build a generic cooperative loot shooter, or whatever they think is cool this year.

Possibly, Bungee is working with Sony right now. They went hard on this sort of thing, Concord and Helldivers 2 being other examples of the push, Concord famously failed, Helldivers worked. Methinks this may actually have been built from older LLM summaries of the deep lore in a few ways, there's surface knowledge, but things that should have been obvious have been missed.

Sony fired a scattershot of games into the market into trendy genres, many will fail, but they may be expecting it.
