The "response was extremely positive," states the manager.

"The complete strategy has been a fresh take but something really inspiring because we are collaborating with individuals from all over the world."

Regarding the expectation on the crew, Fas comments: "There is demand but at the same time it's thrilling.

"It's a major project. It's likely the biggest that most of us have ever participated in."

The developer says he's a long-standing supporter of the games, and recalls playing the fourth instalment of the line at a pal's home when he was younger.

Being on it now, as his first professional role, "doesn't feel tangible."
