But I still don't see the point of not including it with others in there. With every other game it was different, they were considered canon, even Special Delivery.
Why did it change now? Because it's an anniverasry game? Because it's a book adaptation?
I still don't see why should it be separate, except bias against books being in the same timeline as games. So far, what was revealed of the game, doesn't contradict previously established lore, on the other hand, everything suggests it's part of the main games.
Every other game and book was also put into their respective sections before they released. In some cases, even before official logos, keyarts and covers were revealed.
