Rumour Call of Duty: Black Ops to Return in 2020 with 'Gritty Reboot'
Treyarch at the helm
Yes, we will be getting a new Call of Duty this year. What we don't know is exactly what this new entry will be all about. Last year, rumours circulated that the 2020 title will be a return to the Black Ops universe, primarily developed by Treyarch, and will be set during the Cold War. That's all sounding a
Rumour PS5 Deep Dive Video Is 52 Minutes Long
A full presentation
The incoming PlayStation 5 deep dive video -- which premieres on YouTube in just under two hours at the time of writing -- may be longer than we first thought.

But we're not convinced
Microsoft has just released in-depth specifications for the Xbox Series X. It's shaping up to be an impressive machine, but we still don't know how it'll compare to the PlayStation 5. Sony's silence has become a meme at this point, but rumours and speculation consistently suggest that the two next-gen consoles will be very...
News Xbox Series X Storage Drives Look a Lot Like This Sony PS5 Patent
Expandable SSD storage is a thing
Here's a recap. Last year, it was discovered that Sony had filed a patent in Brazil for a cartridge device of some sort. It resembles old-school game cartridges, or those you plug into your PS Vita, for instance, but its real purpose remained unclear. In November 2019, tech site LetsGoDigital created 3D renders of...

Rumour Harry Potter RPG, Rocksteady's New Game, More Were Planned for Warner Bros E3 Show
Dark times, Harry, dark times
The news we were all kinda waiting for has landed: E3 2020 isn't happening. At least, not in its usual guise. There won't be a big live event in LA, and there won't be any flashy onstage press conferences from the industry's major players. We imagine some will turn to digital presentations in the vein of a Nintendo...
Rumour Warner Bros to Cast Lumos on Anticipated PS5 Harry Potter RPG
It'll probably Slytherin
It’s been years since we first feasted on leaked footage of a Harry Potter role-playing game, strongly rumoured to be in development at Utah-based developer Avalanche Software.

News The Internet Thinks Hideo Kojima Has a Big Reveal Planned for This Week
But what is it?
Hideo Kojima is a mysterious man.

Rumour Sony Paying More for Top Quality Cooling System in PS5
No more fan noise?
Does your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 4 Pro sound like a jet engine when playing certain games? The noise that Sony's current-gen console can produce has become something of a running joke over the last few years. Older units gradually lose the ability to keep themselves cool as thermal paste dries up and their insides get...
Rumour PS5 Price Could Be High as Sony Struggles with Expensive Parts
Flash memory in high demand
How much is the PS5 going to cost?

News Latest Resident Evil 8 Leak Sounds a Little Bit Too Ridiculous
Zombies with swords? Nah
The currently unannounced Resident Evil 8 has been the subject of various leaks over the past couple of weeks, none of which have been confirmed to be real.

Rumour MediEvil 2 Remake Development Teased by Composer
Sir Dan strikes back
Last year's MediEvil PlayStation 4 remake seemed to be somewhat of a sales success, at least in Europe where it was most popular, potentially opening the door to the possibility of its PSone sequel getting the same treatment. And if this latest set of tweets from the remake's composer are anything to go by then MediEvil II for...
Rumour Ratchet & Clank Could Be Locked and Loaded for PS5 Launch
Ratcheting up the hype
Prior to the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man, the PlayStation 4 remake of Ratchet & Clank was Insomniac Games’ most successful game.

News Yeah, That Rumoured 5th February PS5 Reveal Event Ain't Happening
Sony still silent
Remember when multiple rumours said that Sony would be holding a PlayStation 5 reveal event on the 5th February? Well, we hate to burst the bubble, but it isn't happening. It's now the 28th January at the time of writing, and Sony's said nothing. Events like this obviously take a lot of time and effort to plan ahead for, and based...

News PS5 Startup Sequence Is Likely Fake, But Still Lovely
Fully loaded
Up until the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita, Sony used to invest a lot of time and resources into its consoles’ start-up sequences. We suppose the PSone is the most iconic of these, but the PS2, PS3, and even PlayStation Portable had great intro scenes which are etched into our collective memories. So which direction will the upcoming...

Rumour Silent Hill Reboot in the Works Alongside Telltale-Style Game
Two games planned
Ignoring the PlayStation 5 rumours for a few seconds, we don't think we've come across a leak we've wanted to be true more than this one.

News PS5 Slogan Change Actually Doesn't Give Weight to Massive Next-Gen Leak
PS5 price, reveal event, games, and more
Update (21st January): It's been brought to our attention that there's actually nothing new about the slogan "It's Time to Play", as it was used in a PlayStation marketing campaign late last year. Sony may be in the process of revamping its commercials ahead of the PS5, and this may be the first sign of that,...
The Starfields align
So, what's going on behind the scenes at Bethesda Game Studios? At E3 2018, studio head Todd Howard confirmed that the developer has two projects in the works: Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI. However, we've barely heard a peep about either of them since. And while we do know that Starfield is coming first, we've never really...
Rumour GTA 6 Development for PS5 Supposedly Outed by UK Tax Return
A "Culturally British" product

Rumour The Order: 1886 Will Make a Triumphant Comeback with PS5 Sequel
Cor blimey
Ready at Dawn's The Order: 1886 was a graphical showcase on PlayStation 4, but ultimately fell flat with critics and some players.

It would be nice...

"It's not even called Ragnarok"
Over the last couple of weeks or so, numerous rumours have popped up around the web with regards to the next Assassin's Creed.

And what could it be?
Rockstar could be getting ready to reveal a PlayStation 5 game, as a new job listing on the label’s website indicates that it’s searching for a video editor who can “communicate emotional content and excitement of a game within a 60-second format”.

Rumour Xbox Not Expecting PlayStation to Be at E3 2020
Sony skipping another year?
We're right at the beginning of a new year, and that can only mean one thing in this industry: E3 rumours.

It's interesting,...
News Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo Release Date Is Still an Unknown Quantity
Gamespot retracts statement
Update: It looks like this was a goof-up from Gamespot, as the 3rd March 2019 release for Final Fantasy VII Remake's demo has now been pulled. The article now simply states that the demo's launch date is unknown -- the error marked down as an "incorrect assumption" by one of the site's editors. Therefore, the search for a...

Rumour Yakuza: Like a Dragon Will Have an English Dub
Just like Judgment
Much like Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise and the more recent Judgment, the next Yakuza game may be getting an English dub. PCB Productions, the company SEGA hired for Judgment as well as Persona 5, had listed Yakuza: Like a Dragon as a credit on its official website. Said credit has now been removed, but it obviously...

Rumour Is This Ape Escape Twitter Account Hinting at a New Game in 2020?
Going ape
The Ape Escape series has eluded PlayStation consoles for a long time now, and fans have been crying out for a revival.

As with many of Sony's legacy IPs, Ape Escape seems to have been locked away in the...

News Nonsensical Rumour Claims PS5 Won't Have Any Exclusive Launch Games
Here we go again
Here’s an amusing one: the PlayStation 5 won’t have any exclusive launch games when it releases next year.

Aloy of nonsense?
PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming to the PC in February – or at least that’s what one shaky rumour claims.

Rumour A Plague Tale 2 in Development, Planned for Release in 2022
Stripped of innocence
Eek! This is a rumour that gets this particular scribe rather excited. A Plague Tale: Innocence is one of 2019's most underrated games, but that didn't stop people from going out and buying it -- the game and RPG GreedFall increased publisher Focus Home Interactive's revenue by 80%. It's no wonder then that a sequel is...
