He may’ve even added extra wooden to that fireside, since he made it clear that there are nonetheless loads of areas the place the group continues to be iterating, and as beforehand said he straight referred to as out that there had been quite a lot of adjustments within the final two years alone.
To be truthful he does additionally specify areas which might be completed, and says that with all elements of Marathon, all the things is “on monitor,” but it surely’s not but able to be proven.
