This "feedback was extremely encouraging," says Rebecka.
One more missing element from the last game was a solo experience, which has been reintroduced this time around.
The UK studio project head the design director is the person tasked with "making sure those levels are as fun and compelling as feasible for the audience."

"This entire approach has been something new but something truly inspiring because we are working with team members from around the globe."
Concerning the anticipation on the developers, he comments: "We feel pressure but at the same time it's exciting.
"We're dealing with a large project. It's probably the most significant that most of us have ever worked on."
That's definitely true of a minimum of a single team member, lighting artist Vlad Kokhan.
The 21-year-old produces the visual ambiance that influence the atmosphere, tone, and focus of the story mode.
He finished an work placement at the developer preceding getting a role at the company, and now operates part-time while finishing his visual effects studies at the university.
Vlad says he's a long-time fan of the franchise, and remembers enjoying the earlier title of the franchise at a friend's house when he was a child.
To be on it now, as his debut professional role, "is hard to believe as tangible."
