There were a lot of things that were good about that so yes, I was uniquely excited to be able to bring that to people. It was a great asset, a highly anticipated game that really delivered. “I was very happy because the trailer was great. There will be things again this year, I’m sure, where it’s like, we want to show things, but they’re just not ready. And that’s the thing I think people don’t realize – the things they want, sometimes developers just aren’t ready to show them.

If you watch the reveal back now, you can see the satisfaction in Keighley’s face as he says the name.
