The actual statement has too many qualifiers:

"As we get imminently closer to launch—and I say that in game development language—it's very hard to keep it under wraps"

"As we get" is not "we are". He is saying that in some indeterminate future where they are getting closer to launch, they will say more.

By not having more to say, the implication is that they are not close. They also soft-cancelled the 2026 release estimate, and did not put forward a new one. If they were anywhere near getting it done, they'd be talking which quarter of 2027 by now.
