The leak comes from Oops Leaks on Twitter. According to the statement, the production, which was originally planned as Battle Royale, has been completely redesigned.

The game, which is also F2P, will be released first on PS5 and later on PC.
What has been disclosed says that this is a single-player game set in a fantasy setting and is currently in production.
