Verified briefings, not recycled rumors

Dated reports and maintained guides answer different questions about Dear Passengers. Every page links to its evidence, labels interpretation, and keeps unknown details visible instead of filling gaps with guesses.

Latest: FLEXUS shared a No. 2 wishlist chart screenshot on October 29. Its Halloween message hints at a nearby release, with no specific date. Both updates were checked on November 8.

HOW THIS DESK WORKS

One claim, one traceable source

Storefront fields and FLEXUS announcements count as primary evidence. Named interviews are attributed. Community posts can identify questions but never prove a feature on their own.

  • Facts carry a source and a last-checked date.
  • Analysis is explicitly described as interpretation.
  • Corrections are reflected in the public source ledger.
  • Affiliate links and paid placements are not used.
