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. The developer moved onto other projects following the reception to this PS4 exclusive, but it clearly poured a huge amount of time and effort into what remains a visually impressive adventure. It would be nice...
News Sony Slogan Change Gives Weight to Massive PS5 Leak
PS5 price, reveal event, games, and more
PlayStation appears to be in the process of changing its company slogan. Over the course of this generation, it's mainly gone with 'For the Players' (or #4ThePlayers at points) as well as 'Best Place to Play'. But if you take a look at PlayStation Europe's Twitter profile (as pointed out by Twitter user...

"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. The majority of these rumours have lacked any kind of concrete evidence but most of them have at least sounded reasonable, and so they've been the source of much speculation. Enter ZhugeEX --...
News Is Rockstar Readying a PS5 Game Reveal?
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”. While this is not necessarily indicative of an imminent announcement at...
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. The big talking point right now is whether Sony will actually attend the event after it skipped the show in 2019 -- but with no concrete evidence to go on, the gaming sphere can only speculate. 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...
News Random Twitter Account Claims Sony Is About to Reveal a 'Major Studio Acquisition'
Don't believe his lies
The thirst for new information on the PlayStation 5 is at an all-time high, to the point where even a random Twitter account posting complete nonsense can make its way to the top of a Reddit page. A tweet from a user named @foxygames_uk claims that Sony is on the verge of revealing "a major studio acquisition" to the world,...
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. We haven't seen a game starring those puny primates since that PlayStation Move title in 2011, and even that wasn't quite the real deal. As with many of Sony's legacy IPs, Ape Escape seems to have been locked away in the...
News PS5 Specs Leak Sends the Web into a Frenzy
Less powerful than Xbox Series X

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...

News Sony Is Allegedly Making a Crash Bandicoot Movie
But could be bogus
As the ill-fated Uncharted movie and recently established PlayStation Productions can attest, Sony’s a fan of video game adaptations.

Rumour PS5 Release Date and Price Allegedly Leaked, But It's Just Some Guy on Twitter
False alarm
A Twitter user has stated a supposed release date and price of the PlayStation 5. This rumour is being reported by other outlets as a leak, and the date and price are being touted as fact.

Rumour Mysterious Cartridge Patent Looking More Likely to Be Modular SSD Storage for PS5
New evidence surfaces
Here's a recap. Earlier this month, it was discovered that Sony had filed a patent in Brazil for a cartridge device of some sort.

Please be real
About a month ago, a couple of images surfaced online, shedding some light on how Sonic the Hedgehog's movie redesign is possibly shaping up.

A reveal at The Game Awards?
Last month, everybody thought we were gearing up for the announcement of a new Batman title during Sony's previous State of Play livestream. But then it came and went with no such reveal.

"Prospero" leaked
Based on all the facts, rumours, and supposed leaks, we're confident that the PS5 is going to be a bit of a beast.

News Demon's Souls Remaster Rumours Just Won't Go Away
The soul still burns
Ah, good ol’ Demon’s Souls, eh?
