M2 barely releases stuff outside of Japan unless it's contract work for someone like Sega or Konami. It's just not a thing they consider worth the time & investment. We're lucky we even get PlayStation versions these days.
It doesn't make sense though that they would use a platform for PC to make a game that's not coming to it.
Plenty of stuff that gets made in Unity never ends up on PC. Unity is a game engine that works on a lot of different platforms, not a platform itself.

I'm not familiar with Nickel (Eurogamer writer?), but dark1x is John Linneman, the Digital Foundry guy. One of those rare "knows what he's talking about" folks in games media.
He is a long lasting part of the Maniac / M! Games magazine in germany and, as he writes in his X bio, fucks a lot of things.

Im still wondering if everything on this game is prerendered or actual 3D graphics, ships and enemies are clearly prerenders, but not sure about the rest.
This doesnt look like a game the Switch could run properly. Just hope it's not a PS5 exclusive.

If things are pre-renders, I'm pretty sure the Switch can handle it.

It could well be a PS4 game that was just being played on PS5 in those clips and given that M2 hasn't yet made a PS5-specific game and this one has been in production for a while, that's sort of what I expect.

Switch, who knows. I hope Switch owners get what they won't but personally don't care what is or isn't on it.
Nobody knows exactly what's going to happen, but from what Sony's said, March and the end of the fiscal year should be the end for new PS4 games. Though we do know that at the least there's DLC still coming for live service games like Destiny 2 & Final Fantasy XIV past that date.

M2 showed off the first stage in today's stream:

I think it's supposed to release in 2024 but I don't know if they mentioned which platforms.

Looks like you can just play "bullet eraser" and not be in any danger yet again.

I hope it comes out for PS4, PS5, Switch, PC (via Steam), Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X!
