Previous Leaks and Rumors
The existence of the game was first leaked back in April 2021. Later on, several other leakers corroborated the claim. However, there was no official confirmation till yesterday.
A few days ago, another leaker accurately revealed the release date and the existence of the PC port. The game was practically confirmed a few hours ago before the announcement at Summer Game Fest 2022. The trailer was leaked hours before it appeared on PlayStation's own page. The online store also went live but was quickly taken down.

Digital Deluxe Edition costs $79.99, while the Firefly Edition costs a whopping $99.99. As of right now, the Firefly Edition has already been sold out.
