Somebody leaving the company or somebody joining the company. Levine goes on to comment on the staffing changes that have occurred over the last few months, It’s just part of the process and we are fortunate as a company that we are able to do that kind of stuff." "We didn’t want to talk about anything regarding that (multiplayer) because we weren’t sure about it, in the same way we weren’t sure about a million things - you’ll see the art book when it comes out and you’ll see a million characters that were cut a million levels that were changed, ideas for weapons were thrown out.

The "Lamb of Columbia", something held precious by all of Columbia's inhabitants but also held captive by the city itself is believed to be the Songbird's charge.Įlizabeth, the "Lamb of Columbia," is direly essential to the fate of the flying city since it is believed that her death will cause the city itself to crash to the ground. However, as fallen artifacts from Columbia were discovered, the Songbird's purpose became shrouded in mystery. The most common theories were that the Songbird was the watchful protector of Columbia, keeping the city safe from possible invaders. When the young ones misbehave, escorts children to their grave."
