Rumour Upcoming Need for Speed, Avatar Games Reportedly Release in November
That's when you'll be able to obtain-y 'em
While many major games are being pushed back into 2023, it's starting to look like 2022 will be sent off with a bang. God of War Ragnarok is heavily rumoured to be releasing in November, and we were meant to get confirmation of that today, though it wasn't to be. However, that's not the only title lining up...

Rumour Skate 4 Reportedly Ready for Full Reveal in July
Skate or die
It's been just about two years since EA announced a new Skate game is in development, and we've seen very little since.

The Blades of Chaos strike again
Update 2: Following up on his previous ResetEra posts, Jason Schreier says that God of War Ragnarok has not been delayed — and that's apparently according to a Sony source.

Rumour Biomutant PS5 Version Discovered on PS Store Backend
It's evolving
THQ Nordic released Biomutant last year after a very prolonged development, and it had a mixed reception to say the least. Its intriguing open world filled with oddball characters and interesting combat resonated with some, but it's fair to say the game didn't quite stick the landing. Some visual glitches and hitches didn't help...

Cyberpunk'd
Hey, it's been a while since we had a big old Cyberpunk 2077 leak, hasn't it? If true, this latest blunder is a big one, because it tells us loads of stuff about the game's first expansion, which is yet to be officially revealed. Apparently, dataminers have managed to pull this information from a patch, and subsequently leak it all...
Rumour PS5 Exclusive Returnal Likely Heading to PC Soon
SteamDB lists very familiar-sounding game
It's no secret that Sony has moved to a model where its console exclusive first-party games will eventually migrate to PC.

Rumour Looks Like PS1 Classic Dino Crisis Is Joining the PS Plus Premium Lineup
A wild Regina appears
The brand new PS Plus tiers have now launched in some Asian countries, and it's on the cusp of a Western release too.

Rumour Supposed Silent Hill Leak Reveals New Images, Quickly Taken Down
DuskGolem's latest hastily removed by copyright claim
Blimey, how long have these Silent Hill rumours been circulating now? It feels like an eternity. We've heard Konami's horror IP is being brought back in numerous ways; Bloober Team is said to be involved, and a separate game is allegedly-but-almost-certainly-not in production under Hideo Kojima...

Rumour New Mafia Game in Development, Is a Prequel to the Trilogy
Word on the street
A new Mafia game is in the works at developer Hangar 13, according to a fresh report from Kotaku.

Apparently, it's going to use Unreal Engine 5, and it's actually going to be a prequel to the...
Rumour PS Plus Premium's PS1, PS2, PSP Games Have Started to Leak

That means we've got three Namco...
News PS Plus Premium Demo Requirement Puzzling Publishers, Devs
Companies apparently won't see a cent from perk
Shocking news: Sony is just as bad at communicating with business partners as it is consumers. At least, that very much appears to be the case! Earlier this week, an update to the PlayStation developer portal – a kind of official forum for partners – revealed that moving forward it will require all...
Rumour PS5, PS4 Games Over $34 Must Have PS Plus Premium Two-Hour Trials
Some games required to provide a demo version

Rumour Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio Reboots Among SEGA's Super Game Plans
But they might not be exactly what you want
SEGA is sitting on a mountain of beloved gaming franchises and IPs, and it feels like the Japanese publisher is doing almost nothing with them.

News The Final Fantasy 9 Remake Rumours Return Following Kingdom Hearts 4 Confirmation
Tantalusing
Right, we need to talk about Final Fantasy IX Remake again, because the rumours have well and truly returned.

Just after the leak happened in September of last year, Nvidia came out and confirme
News Could the Shenmue 4 Dream Still Be Alive?
Hints and teases happening
Shenmue 3 was a strange game in hindsight. While this author was rather enamoured with its commitment to the legendary series’ plodding pacing, there’s no doubt that it failed to meaningfully move the franchise’s narrative forward – a bizarre decision, considering just how long we waited to play the threequel...
Rumour New Need for Speed Is Current-Gen Only, Leaving PS4 in the Dust
Reportedly no longer cross-gen
Did you forget a new Need for Speed is on the way? We wouldn't blame you; it was confirmed to be in development in June 2020, with only the briefest of glimpses at EA Play Live.

Potentially even later this week
We've been seeing some rumours flying around lately that Sony is preparing to hold a fresh State of Play — or some sort of PlayStation update, anyway — in March.

News PS5, PS4's Revamped PS Plus Sub Allegedly Outlined in Report
"Pretty close to launching"
If this report is accurate, then we’d strongly recommend Sony goes back to the drawing board – and fast.

Not a troll, a goblin
Here's a blast from the past. About eight and a half years ago, Sony and Quantic Dream put out a visually stunning tech demo entitled The Dark Sorcerer.
