Being in early pre-production means that the game hasn’t entered development is a long way off from release. Typically, pre-production is where game development teams decide what the game will look like, which features it will have, and when each feature is expected to be ready. Undead Labs will likely be using this time to decide which enemies will be coming back, whether fans will see things like anew version of the juggernauts, and what the game world will look like.
