Before this, many players had not actually expected Chen Xu to come out and respond to anything.
In his previous games, Chen Xu had rarely revealed anything about upcoming titles.
Even for games that had already been released, Chen Xu rarely explained the hidden Easter eggs within them.

The man killed in the Lighthouse had a map beside him, with a note
