Direct answer
No official source currently details difficulty modes or boss-specific assists. A hands-on comparison to Soulslikes is not evidence of fixed difficulty rules.
What is not confirmed
This answer is intentionally limited to what the cited primary source establishes. It does not rely on fan-maintained lists, retailer placeholders, edited trailer cuts, leaks, or assumptions imported from other action RPGs.
How this answer will be updated
The page will be checked after the dedicated summer State of Play, material store-page changes, and the retail launch. New details will be added only when they answer this exact question; separate search intents will keep their own URLs to avoid overlap.
