The game has only recently launched a Kickstarter and while there seems to be a bunch of positive press about the potential of this eventual game, that does not mean that it will actually happen (a bit of WP:CRYSTAL combined with the unsure nature of Kickstarter campaigns). I'm not necessarily advocating deletion outright, but I also do not think this should have been accepted from the Draft space (new reviewer etc etc) and should be returned there until it's actually released.

Keep Per WP:NEXIST. There are a lot more PCGamesN articles, GamesRadar+ and GameStar, just to name a few. It's true that the article is poorly sourced, and I agree that it should not have been accepted, but now that it's in article space, these problems are surmountable by the proper cleanup and editing. Simply being a bad article accept should not be cause for deletion, that should be on the reviewer to own up to their mistake. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:11, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There's clearly enough coverage to make it significant, not to mention the team is made up of industry veterans instead of newcomers. But yes, the sources really should be cleaned up. ThanatosApprentice (talk) 22:18, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Lots of established gaming sites discuss it, and the team behind it has a proven track record. Sure, the sources could be stronger, but let's focus on making the article better, not getting rid of it altogether. Waqar💬 17:08, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
