As for the game itself, the source relayed the following information about the game’s upcoming announcement:
Strategy meets story with style

Race against the Doomsday countdown
- Chase the Banished Court through alternate history in the 1930s, from shipyards and deserts to jungles, both urban and wild. Control your choices on a global level and try to stop your enemies from furthering their twisted plans!
- Recruit new allies from among the worst: seek outlaws and outcasts across Earth and bring them to your side before the Outcast Court catches them first!
- Each mission earns your team new resources and increases their abilities – but be careful, stress and injuries can take their toll!
