There were a lot of very wishful-thinking-y posts all but claiming there necessarily had to be a TTRPG, which frankly, were rather silly.
What a lot of people didn't seem to get is that Archetype Entertainment is an AAA games studio, and nothing to do with TTRPGs, per se. Their job is to make an AAA CRPG, and that's hard enough. They certainly won't be designing around a TTRPG or the like (as people have suggested).
However as @Parmandur says, once the CRPG is made, then it'd be relatively easy to use the IP/art to make a CRPG which matches with that. This is assuming it even gets finished, not cancelled - and that's far from guaranteed. Archetype opened in 2019, and seem to have only gone into even pre-production this year (from announcements), and are still seemingly staffing up (and announced a big upstaffing earlier this year, but don't actually seem to have gained many staff yet), and seem to be well below AAA levels for the 2020s. So even assuming they succeed in staffing up to AAA levels and start full production this year, we'd be looking at a 2025 release at the soonest, with 2026 or 2027 being more realistic.

Just want to point out that a sci fi RPG/CRPG would not count as D&D news. So cannot be the thing referred to.
I still maintain that "tarrasque-sized" is literal, not metaphorical.

An "Apocalypse Stone" style edition ender centered on the Tarrasque -- or a whole invasion of them. They will reveal that is what destroyed the First World and the cycle has come around again and now every setting is going to face down a scrum of tarrasques!

wizards cap at 9th level magic they are chumps, come back when they grind up super galactic clusters for a level Googleplex spell.
A "scrum" of tarrasques is 999,999 of them. Everyone knows that.

If it is (and that would be awesome) that would be the final artery to pop in Justin "Grits" Lanasa's head.
