@PS2fweak Multiple studios have struggled for decades with the handling of the license, badly. Handing it over to seasoned developers could change that.
The solution to this would be to leave the release date undisclosed until the game is finished or nearly there. Announcing a game that's barely out of concept with a release date is the antithesis of contingency planning.
Naturally, shareholders would not be very fond of that idea.
