- Character switching can be free, forced, or restricted when the story needs a specific perspective.
- Safehouses are interactive homes with routines and change as the story moves through chapters.
- Training and food affect strength, cardio, stamina, buffs, and character physique.
- The wanted system is more witness-dependent, while a Criminal Profile tracks professional versus aggressive behavior and shapes reactions.
- The 3D map reveals unexplored areas as the player visits them, and changing weather is confirmed.
What remains unannounced
