Hello ๐ First of all, this isn't related to the recent news about Dontnod's financial struggle or any new announcement.
I just wanted to transcribe some answers from Dontnod's Q&A video from two months ago and there are other interviews and replies over different social media, if you want to check them out. However, these are the most recent, official informations I could find regarding the game and its possible direction for the future, along with some interesting tidbits. So this post is for the fans who hasn't watched the video yet or don't feel like watching the whole thing. Read it if you finished the game and would like some more explanations!
Keep in mind that Michel Koch(director) didn't want to reveal too much informations and some of these sound pretty ambiguous. It's understandable because Dontnod isn't working on the next Lost Records yet. Also these aren't exactly word for word because I wrote down as I was watching it, but I tried not to change any meaning.

A possible sequel?
They(Dontnod) don't think it'll be called Tape 3. They want to go back to the story - what happens to the girls and Celine. Also more about Dylan and the package. They're currently working on a different project with Netflix and want to go back to Lost Records afterwards.
Who is Celine?
She was a girl living with her family and some of them were part of miners who found the Abyss for the first time. There are some important links between Celine and Kat.
Kat's knife
Swann finding Kat's knife along with the paper that tells her how to open the cabin's door hints at a time loop. It also links to the dark figures(I'm assuming shadows) of people who were into the Abyss.
Why does Kat look different in the video tape from the ending ?
Kat we see at the end is not exactly the same Kat. She's the version of Kat within the Abyss.
Shadows
The location where the shadow of Corey, Kat, and Swann appears is related to what exactly is happening in the Abyss.
