00:01Who do you think you are?
00:06I sent you there to solve a problem, remember?
00:11You're a fire blanket, not a goddamn flamethrower.
00:16You don't belong there. You shared nothing with those people.
00:23You're not part of something greater. You are something greater.
00:27You're one of us.
00:29So stop digging up the past and put all this to rest.
00:34Take off that stupid costume and be who you're meant to be.
00:40You don't understand the forces at play.
00:44We didn't build all this for you to piss it away.
00:49Go any deeper and you may never see light again.
00:55And we won't be there to save you this time.
00:59AVAILABLE NOW
01:17It feels good to be back, to step into something new.
01:20There's nothing like giving life to a world,
01:23to give shape to a story waiting to be spoken into existence.
01:26I've worked in games for years,
01:28and every so often one comes along that changes things.
01:31It was ambitious, messy, unpredictable.
01:35But it worked, and we learned a lot.
01:38Now I'm excited to take everything we learned
01:40and put it further in Hope Town.
01:42One of the themes of the game is the harmony
01:44between what's come before, what's happening now,
01:47and what lies ahead.
01:49That ripples out to Long Do.
01:51We're taking inspiration from almost 30 years of classics in the genre,
01:55creating something both new and familiar,
01:58and building a studio to continue that legacy into the future.
02:01A lot of you spent hours hearing my voice in your head.
02:04I was there for every crisis, every revelation.
02:07And I know how much that experience meant to people.
02:10Now, I get to do it all over again.
02:14A new world to give life to.
02:16Hope Town.
