I definitely think it should be the furthest along in development 1st party release after Starfield and Forza Motorsport, afterall it's development began either late 2018 or early 2019 and they had in-engine footage ready for the Game Awards 2019 reveal, and Holiday 2023 is 4 years after that in-engine reveal. The only two 1st party that have been in development longer are Avowed and Fable, and Avowed got a partial reboot when the director changed from Chris Parker to Carrie Pattel, while Playground had to staff up a whole new AAA studio for Fable which slowed it up. Avowed and Fable are likely both much larger games than Hellblade 2 as well, Hellblade 2 is likely 25 hours tops (considering the first games was like 7 hours and they only increased the dev team size from 20 to 80-100 devs), Fable and Avowed are likely both 80+ hour open world RPG's. And we've heard nothing about behind the scenes development issues on Hellblade 2 either, so it does stand to reason that it would be finished before Avowed and Fable.
