I hope this can be a nod towards the drop releasing earlier than the stream too, or at the very least throughout the stream, since we’re but to get a launch date for the replace.

Hints at what to anticipate from the showcase are proven within the trailer too, nevertheless it’s all extremely obscure so there’s not a lot level in guessing what is perhaps coming. Titles like ‘secret stuff’ and ‘particular company’ do not give rather a lot to go off. However that is extra purpose to tune in.
