The internet was very impressed, to the point where Sony and Epic Games both contacted him to help work on the project. He took the sum of money from Sony in exchange for making it a timed exclusive on the Platform, and was given a small team to help work with it. Bing initially aimed for a release sometime in 2018, but retracted his claim later on due to development taking longer than expected. In August 2019, Bing Yang reported that development was focused on the main build of the game, implying that a 2020 release was very likely until the COVID-19 epidemic began. Any news on the game's development was silent until April 26, 2021 when Bing Yang released a new gameplay trailer, as well as sharing numerous images from in-game.
