I was curious if they'd be working with a publisher or going indie this time. The article didn't say. So I went straight to their website and their newsfeed hasn't been updated in like a year.

So I think it's safe to say they haven't gotten much better at PR 😂

Spending money on advertisements without an actual PR team is a red flag to me.

Most studios do not have a dedicated PR team. That’s a larger developer/publisher luxury. Often they just hack away at it together as a group or maybe if they’re lucky have one dedicated “social media manager“ who functions for basically anything remotely related to PR and marketing.

Most studios do not spend large amounts of money to appear on advertising shows either and with Hello Games' history they should defo have a qualified PR manager or at least some serious consultation about it.
