This is what Mazin commented prior to the strikes about the plans to ELEPHANT:

“We will do some things exactly as they were in the game. We're going to do some other things that are in the game and we're going to do some things that are in the game, but we're going to do them differently in our own method. It doesn't matter if you've played the game or not. You will be surprised as the season progresses. We have some interesting twists and turns.”
