Getting a look at just how hard the team is working may give fans a better sense of the developers desire to release the best game possible.

The video above, previously released on Monday in Japanese, was given English subtitles for Western fans to enjoy as well. The Revenant Kingdom development video reveals that the team is aware of just how popular the game is outside Japan, and they want to reach that fanbase too. The inclusiveness and passion for the title are enough for fans across the globe to rest easy knowing that the wait will be worth it.
