I don't think the staff was hinting at anything, unless you mean that the things that were said in the epilogue in of itself sound like a hint.

In which case, I honestly think it's just as well works as just an open ending. We're big boys girls and pals, we can put two and two together ourselves.

Together with
Withers's cryptic promise of us being needed again later
, however, it also may be a hint. I'm not ruling that possibility out, I just think we should see it as a theory, not a definite promise!

We shall see! I'm always down to be optimistic, but I also don't want to be like "Okay, more when???" immediately after receiving such a heartfelt conclusion (to the game as a whole I mean, with everyone) x)
