During a recent interview, Bryan Intihar said IGN that,

“We had two choices. We could say, ‘All right, we’ll make it easy and just not do it.’ And everybody would go, ‘Great. No MJ missions.’ Or we could say, ‘Hey, we’ve talked about showing the world from all different angles. We’re going to make her moments better.

We’re going to take on the challenge. We’re going to make people like playing as her.’ We pick and choose our spots. We knew we had to make her more of a proactive, capable person. And if she’s a little OP, I don’t give a shit. She’s fine. I don’t care.”

Additionally, he said that the team is aware of the worries expressed by certain fans regarding the difficulty of MJ’s missions and is striving to make them more playable for a larger variety of players.
