Keep in mind the studio went through an overhaul in 2020 to reduce crunch.
We saw the reports near the end of last year that they had to pull a minimum of 8 hours overtime. If 1 day was the minimum, that kinda implies they weren't requiring any prior.
Games like Uncharted 4 and Last of Us Part 2 were notorious for having devs working 60-80 work weeks. One dev I caught in an interview recently even commented he hit 100 hours for a 1-2 week span, on Uncharted 4.
The production won't be as crazy, but at least it might be a bit less stressful for the developers on the team.
