Our read of the evidence
Mostly unverified. As of the dates given, no primary source such as the studio has confirmed the project; all details appear in secondary reports. The information originates from two outlets, with multiple timeline entries relying on those reports. Because the studio has not issued an official statement and the pending reveal remains unspecified, the claim remains mostly unverified.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
