An October 30 blog post put the project in its preparation stage, with that stage ending in early 2027 and porting work expected to take about 12 more months afterward.
The October 30 post said the team is confirming that legacy content can be ported without losing quality, and that it will publish information regularly rather than save it for an event. Deane also said The Game Awards 2026 will not bring a new announcement or a surprise logo drop.
