According to user Timur222, who discovered a LinkedIn entry by studio employee Derian McCrea, the game has received AAAA status — a rare category with a record budget and number of developers.
The emergence of another project in the AAAA segment shows that this level of production is ceasing to be the exclusive prerogative of Ubisoft and Microsoft. AAAA implies quality above standard AAA hits and indicates high technical and visual ambitions for the project.
Details have not yet been disclosed. Guardians of the Galaxy has already proven that Eidos Montreal is capable of creating cinematic adventures, and a AAAA budget will allow the studio to achieve an even higher level of storytelling.
