Information originally from MinnMax's Ben Hanson. There is an existing game used to describe this new game to Hanson as a point of reference, and all we know is that that game is not Hitman.

There are certainly people that specifically like that kind of storytelling that puts the onus on the audience to do some digging. It's why Malazan Book of the Fallen is popular, for example.

It didn't do as much for me in Elden Ring, but I enjoyed it in Dark Souls 3 and it's why Demon's Souls has one of my favorite moments in gaming. Wouldn't have worked with more explicit narrative.
