Because their entire poltical and world view is based on identity politics. They cannot simply say “that joke sucked” and move on, they have to make it into yet another virtue signalling exercise and lecture everyone else because that is the behaviour they associate with being a “good person”.

I’m pretty sure general gameplay already has all core systems in place, movement, shooting, reloading, etc. I don’t see that changing much.

I was thinking more in terms of soul mechanics. There have been lots of big meta shifts this year in relation to wave sharing, jungling and the urn. I’m not sure if they’ve settled on that yet or if there will be more big changes in 2025 as they try to work out how much they want to play into the MOBA component vs the hero shooter component.

I love visual novels so that’s definitely something I’m looking forward to.

Like a story-based PvE mode or just a different style of gameplay (like a horde survival mode or something)? I’d like to see some casual PvP modes added too, though I think they should focus on refining the core game first. I have friends that are more casual than me who’d appreciate this sort of stuff.
