In theinterview, Barlog told many things about the development process of the game. Despite all the effort and hardwork put into the game, the Director was still worried if players would connect with the story. He said:
That pressure is always there, that sense of—how much is too much? How much are they going to accept? What’s going to be the bridge too far, the change you make that makes everybody freak out? The jump, eliminating the jump, I was told by a lot of people that was going to be the thing that everybody really gets upset about.
One of the biggest secrets which Barlog and his team kept was the use of the Blades of Chaos. After seeing the trailer with the Axe, fans were not excited about the decision and wanted developers to bring back the blades. But the Director wanted to keep that a secret as his team was working on new combat moves with the blades. His exact words were:
That was frustrating. I was so big on keeping the secret of the blades. But I was getting bombarded. Why do we want this new weapon? No one cares about this new weapon! We want the Blades of Chaos! I wanted to be able to tell everyone, ‘Don’t worry. It’s gonna be fine.’
The frustration and challenges faced by the team only served to enhance the sense of triumph and satisfaction that players felt upon uncovering the game’s best-kept secret.
