The market will resolve as "No" if no video game, DLC, or game add-on with this character depiction is released by the end of 2024.

Sources for Verification:

Resolution will be based on credible news reports, official game releases, announcements from video game developers or publishers, and reviews or listings from reputable gaming platforms and websites.
