Rumour PS5 Will Come With a Camera to 'Lure' Streamers
Life's a Twitch
Streaming is big business these days, and it's seriously big business for a select few. Sites like Twitch are becoming more and more popular, and like it or not, streamers are now a core pillar of modern gaming culture. It's not really a shock, then, to hear that Sony and Microsoft want in on the market. According to a Gizmodo...
Rumour PS5 Will Represent the Biggest Jump in Computing Power of Any Console Generation
"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. With Sony touting things like ray tracing and 0.8 second load times, it's always been fair to assume that its next-gen console will be powerful, and now an anonymous, but seemingly in-the-know source
Rumour Persona 5 Royal Releases In the Same Month as Final Fantasy VII Remake
March could be big
We know that Persona 5 Royal is set to release next spring here in the West, but we don't yet have a confirmed date. We can't imagine that an announcement is far off, but thanks to the latest issue of Game Informer -- as spotted by Persona Central -- the release month may have just been outed. In an interview with Persona...
News Demon's Souls Remaster Rumours Just Won't Go Away
The soul still burns
Ah, good ol’ Demon’s Souls, eh? Before the series became a colossal hit, Sony actually funded the cult From Software role-playing game – although it famously passed on publishing it outside of its native Japan. The title went on to become a classic, of course, and there’s been rumours for a while that the platform...
Rumour Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Brings Back Multiple Fan-Favourite Maps
1 v 1 me bro
Oh boy, this is a rumour that has us a little bit excited.

News Sony Will Launch PS5 Pro Alongside PS5 in 2020, Says Rumour, But We're Not Convinced
Going pro
With a 2020 release date for PlayStation 5 looking like an inevitability, we're starting to see next-gen rumours crop up on a more frequent basis as we edge closer to next year.

Rumour Is This Cryptic Tweet from PlayStation Hinting at a State of Play?
Beep
There's a lot of speculation around at the moment suggesting another State of Play is right around the corner. Sony's Nintendo Direct style broadcasts are hard to predict, but it certainly feels like we're due the next one pretty soon -- it's been a while. Many are tying it to the Last of Us: Part II event that's happening later this month...
News Silly Speculation Suggests Project Resistance Is a Multiplayer Mode for Resident Evil 3 Remake
Announcement trailer hides a clue
People really, really want a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, don't they? We mean, we most certainly do too off the back of the success of the Resident Evil 2 remake, but this story is just a little bit too ridiculous. Forum chatter on the popular ResetEra suggests that the recently announced
Rumour Sony Has Something PlayStation-Related Planned for the End of September
State of Play?
Yesterday, it was revealed that Naughty Dog is hosting a media event for The Last of Us: Part II on the 24th September. Supposedly, this will provide press with a fresh look at the game. However, with this news, rumours of another PlayStation-related event have appeared, which is apparently also taking place that week.
Crapcom
How many times have we heard a decidedly dodgy rumour about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale 2? Here's one from 2014. Here's another from 2017. And there have been plenty more in between. This latest "leak" says the sequel to 2012's PlayStation 3 and Vita fighter will be released alongside the PS5, and -- get this -- it's being de
News PS5 Devkit Design Leaks, Already in Studios' Hands
V for victory
Update: Matt Stott, a senior artist at Codemasters, has revealed that we're looking at the design of a PS5 devkit.

News Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC Rumours Resurface as Mystery Rockstar Project Gets Rated
Oh boah
Putting aside the fact that there seems to be a fresh Rockstar rumour every other day, these latest whispers actually have some weight to them. As reported by Kotaku AU, Australian ratings board IARC has essentially refused the classification of an unannounced Rockstar project. Sadly, this is an all too common an occurrence down under, but...
Rumour Yakuza 3's PS4 Remaster Seemingly Set for Gamescom 2019

Rumour PS5's Graphics Processor Is a Beast
Leaks say it's a monster

News Fresh State of Play and PS5 Reveal Rumour Sounds Reasonable, But It's Probably Nonsense
The usual
Oh boy, here we go again. Truth be told we weren't going to report on this, but seeing as multiple other gaming websites are doing just that, we thought that we'd better weigh in. The rumour in question comes directly from 4Chan (already off to an excellent start), and to be fair, it doesn't read like total fan fiction. The poster claims...

Free for all
Will Call of Duty: Modern Warfare have a Battle Royale mode?

Map and character screens sown off
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 3 is gaming's worst kept secret at the moment.

Speaking of that alpha...
Rumour New Game Plus Is in the Works for Cyberpunk 2077

It's hardly a shock, then, to hear rumours of the feature coming to Cyberpunk 2077. A Reddit post claims to have scoured the latest...

Rumour Red Dead Redempion 2 DLC Is About Aliens, Red Dead Remake Is Real
Dutch didn't plan for this
Update: The Reddit poster has admitted that they made it all up. Looks like we were right to be cynical, and, as per usual, this is another fine example of why you shouldn't believe everything that you read on the internet. Still, Arthur Morgan versus aliens... We wouldn't say no. Original story: Another week, another...
Rumour The Last of Us 2 Release Date Set for February 2020, Four Editions Planned
The Ellie edition
The idea of The Last of Us: Part II releasing in February of 2020 just won't go away, will it?

News Grand Theft Auto 6 Fan Fiction Makes for Fun Reading
Don't believe everything you read
Grand Theft Auto 6 has leaked – except it most definitely hasn’t.

Rumour Cyberpunk 2077 May Require a Gargantuan 80GB Installation
Another big'un
Cyberpunk 2077’s looking like it’s going to be one of the biggest PlayStation 4 games of the generation – both in terms of scope and file size.

News Some Fans Think Remedy and PlayStation May Be Partnering
Quantum repair

News Was Halo: The Master Chief Collection Considered for PS4?
Franchise director weighs in on wild rumour

Square Enix has a history of taking its sweet time...
Rumour PS5 Is More Powerful Than Project Scarlett
But no one really knows for sure
Microsoft was very specific when introducing its next-gen system Project Scarlett, describing it as “the most powerful console we’ve ever made”.

Sick
It's that time of year again. E3 is just about to kick off, and the weeks leading up to the event are always rich with rumours and leaks.

Bloody 'Ellie
We’ve been hearing for many months now that Naughty Dog was targeting a 2019 release date for The Last of Us: Part 2, but with news emerging that Death Stranding may deploy during the holidays, it sounds like Ellie’s sophomore effort has been internally pushed back. This can’t be considered a de
Rumour Death Stranding's Release Date May Have Leaked
Didn't keep you waiting, huh?
There’s strong speculation that Death Stranding may release soon. The game – which is getting a big blowout later today – was believed to be a long way away, but a post on PlayStation’s official Taiwanese Facebook page suggests that it’ll deploy on 8th November.

It can be for nothing
Update: Well, it's been several hours since this rumour surfaced, and there's no sign of a State of Play announcement.

If you never played the likeable Ghostbusters: The Video Game on the PlayStation 3, then you may be hyped to hear that the 2009 tie-in could be about to cross streams with the PlayStation 4.
