This is an unexpected rumour to say the least. It would appear that Rockstar has taken a break from counting Grand Theft Auto Online’s profits in order to make something new, as rumours are swirling regarding a new Midnight Club title. The nature of the game is unknown at this time, but images on an Xbox Live server have leaked. We’re going to assume a PlayStation 4 version will also be planned, but you never know.
Originally it was assumed this could be part of Microsoft’s Xbox emulation program, but it was also noted that the game is using an Xbox One specific button prompt. Moreover, the car in the title screen appears to be a new Mustang model, so it’s got to be some kind of new game.
We’d expect an announcement to follow swiftly if this does all turn out to be authentic. Given the quality of hoaxes in 2017, we’d still caution that this could turn out to be fake, but if it’s real it would represent the first entry in the arcade racing series since Midnight Club: Los Angeles, which drifted onto the PlayStation 3 almost a decade ago.

I loved Midnight Club, poured plenty on hours into that game. The thing I remember most was how utterly ridiculous the trophies were in that game.
What's taking them so long? Can't believe it's been almost 10 years... Dang...
YES PLEASE. Midnight Club 3 remix was my favorite car game ever! Hours and hours with my buddy trying to stop the train with 2 hummer
Rather Canis Canem Edit 2 please rockstar
Aww yeah I hope this turns out to be true
Looks like it'll be a small downloading title than a full blown release.
I would love this to be true. I think the series has been a solid bunch of fun games. And the bully 2 please.
Maybe they just renamed "The Agent".
I'd love to know how Rockstar feel about having to try and top GTA 5
I just want Red Dead now. I can already get my driving kicks in GTA. Saying that, if the cars handle like they do in GTAV, Midnight Club would be pretty good. They'd need to set it somewhere different than LA, though.
I'd like to see Rockstar do a full on RPG fantasy game. Cheers. An MMORPG Game of Thrones would be lovely.
Absolutely fake. There's nothing remotely impressive about that car model or the rendering engine its running through, pointing to a rookie effort. Its also got an incredibly bland, easy-to-photoshop UI from someone who doesn't, or barely, understands design theory.
Rockstar would do a thousand times better even for pre-alpha, especially since they'd most likely use placeholders from one of their various other better looking games (like the old UI from Midnight Club LA) at this state than start from scratch on such elements. And again, its an incredibly drab render with super bland materials on that simple model. C'mon people; Rockstar doesn't even have a current gen game engine capable of rendering images this flat :/
This is most likely some art student doing something just "for teh lulz" and attention.
I'd love to see a new Midnight Club (as would this anonymous hoaxster, obviously). But this isn't anything to pay attention to. And if it IS, whoo boy, what D-grade studio is putting together this shovelware for Rockstar?
@DLB3 Given this site fell for the RDR2 "leak" that was a PC game (good fact checking btw) I look at this and say fake until otherwise.
