Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski was also reluctant to comment, simply saying such topics are "TBD".
Epic chose last month's Comic Con event as the place to lift the lid on its new sandbox co-op survival game, releasing screenshots to offer a glimpse of the scavenging and base-building action.
