So yes, we still haven't found out when we'll be able to play this highly anticipated video game, but we did get to see some incredible new gameplay footage that had been catered to Colbert thanks to Hello Games.

According to Polygon, Stephen became the namesake for a number in-game featured including the planter "Colbert Prime," and creatures including "Colbison," "Molebert," "Codbert" and a "Colbertasaurus." Will the planet and these creatures how up in the final cut of the game? We'll have to wait and see, but we have no idea how long!

Kotaku points out that Colbert calls Murray "God" while watching the gameplay footage, exclaiming that he, like so many other gamers out there, can't wait to get his hands on the title.
