“Next year will be going broader (Switch and PC) and there will be another game in 2019.”
This happened in June, 2018, so its not impossible to think he might be right about this too.

Vicarious Visions have played around with brand new content before with the previously scrapped level Stormy Ascent, and the their very own Future Tense.
