Vega insists the delay is not due to unexpected technical problems but rather a need for a breather and to meet marketing schedules. The team is using a new rendering technique called Meshlets to keep the experience close to the PC version without reducing the number of enemies or NPCs. IO says it has made compromises in areas like object detail rather than cutting gameplay content.

The studio emphasises that the Switch 2 version will not feature fewer enemies or NPCs, a common tactic for optimisation. Instead, IO is focusing on fine-tuning performance and using technical solutions like Meshlets to handle the hardware's limitations. The goal is to keep the core gameplay experience identical across platforms.
