Trending? Oh, you mean all those Sony made first person online shooters and battle royales? Yeah, that Sony, such a trend hog.

They follow their own trends. Not always in a good way: unfortunate for God of War to lose some of its original identity for The Last of Us dad simulator.

I think that was the ambition of the creators, not trend following. It's clearly a narrative Cory really cared about and the changed gameplay perspective works extremely well in delivering an outstanding experience.
