What it means for players
Movement and upgrades may gate exploration routes, but the reveal does not establish a fixed metroidvania-style progression order.
This update narrows one specific player question using the publisher’s wording. It does not turn unreleased footage or marketing copy into invented routes, values, schedules, or performance claims.
What remains unconfirmed
Control details, fall penalties, ability unlock timing, statue locations, and upgrade costs remain unknown.
