It's risky simply because it is brand new. On a lesser level, it may be seen as risky because it features a clearly female protagonist, something the game industry is apparently still slightly fearful of. As well, I mean, you're hunting mechanical dinosaurs in a broken down future. It's not exactly what one would call a winning formula on paper. It was risky to let the concept go to development and give it a shot. Even now, there's no guarantee that it will have broad appeal since it is a new IP. They probably won't be comfortable until they see the first week sales numbers for the game.
