42 Wants Your Information Not a Game (Yet) but Likely to Lead to One Via a tweet by iFiction , the 42 Entertainment website main page has changed, requesting information from people.
They seem to be trying for a player information database. Whether that's in preparation for a game or an attempt to provide more marketing metrics to prospective clients, who knows.

They *do* have a message regarding getting multimedia type messages after signing up:
Quote:
Once you hit SUBMIT and confirm via email,
CONSIDER YOURSELF IN-GAME.
That means strange messages will show up in your inbox from time to time...
Your phone might ring from someone you don't know...
A package may be left on your doorstep...
Welcome in.
and it lets you enter an app with certain fields empty. I signed up sans phone number, for example. So it's possible they're getting people for a wide trailhead/packages for games instead of just a survey of who plays their games/pays attention to their site.

I'm in. Though... I have a feeling that it might just be to promote this . I hope it's something bigger, though... we'll certainly find out.
