Yes, but that statement is missing important context. Their original plan was to have talent trees like we have currently, but they weren't able to finish them before release because Sweden lmao. Instead, we got the barebones Vermintide style class talents at release, but unlike Vermintide that launched with 15 of these, Darktide only had 4. Their original plan was to rush out as many of these that they could in order to catch up and pretend they had a full product ready. However, somewhere along the way they went back to finishing their original plan to have full talent trees for each class rather than 3 minimalist trees per archetype.
Those "free post release classes" they promised were just going to be 5 rows of talents where you chose 1 of 3 options from each row. Fatshark fucks up a lot of things, but what they ended up delivering for class talent trees was far superior to that initial panicked promise.
