Studio head Seth Sivak also spoke out. He briefly recounted the pathSpellbreakand noticed her strong qualities, among which,for example, full cross-play and cross-progression at release. According to his words, “battle royale” could not achieve a stable position and could not withstand competition with the “biggest games in the world”. But neither he nor the team regrets the time spent.
