  • I will review this nomination shortly. Epicgenius (talk) 13:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

All three articles:

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

  • @Rhain and Epicgenius: I'm a bit uneasy about both of these hooks; I'm sure it's not intentional, but having nothing to say about media franchises other than "they exist" or "coming soon" sounds a bit like advertising to me. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 01:33, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
    • @Theleekycauldron: Definitely a valid concern, but I'm struggling to think of an interesting, concise hook using all three articles. Should this nomination be split into separate hooks, or refocused on one of the articles? (I'm not bothered if refocusing on one makes the other two ineligible for now; they can always be re-nominated upon 5× expansion or GA.)Rhain (he/him) 01:59, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
      • Well, I don't think we'd be losing eligibility on any of the articles. Opening up new nominations for each of the other articles is efficient, but probably a little cumbersome. I'd say that it'd be messier, but we can probably get by if you just propose separate new hooks down here and have them all reviewed and promoted into separate preps. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 02:05, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
        • I think proposing separate hooks is probably the best option; I've done that below. Please feel free to adjust my formatting as much as is necessary. – Rhain (he/him) 05:23, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

  • QPQ is done. ALT1 is interesting and confirmed by citation - also appears in the article as "In total, approximately 2,169 developers across 14 studios worked on the game". The article is neutral and has the correct inline citations. The article appears to be free of copyright issues and the detector does not alert. Bruxton (talk) 16:33, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
