Rumour XCOM: Enemy Unknown Plus May Be Crash Landing on Vita
XCOM: Release date unknown
Strategy lovers rejoice, as the ESRB has recently passed down a 'mature' rating for XCOM: Enemy Unknown Plus on PlayStation Vita.

Nate for it

Distant Worlds composer seems to think so

Rumour Grow Home Rooting Down on PS4
PC platformer sprouting out

An interesting SCEE ad has emerged on Twitter this evening, attaching rough release windows to a bunch of upcoming PlayStation 4 titles.

Rumour Dead Island Could Be the Next PS4 Remaster That No One Asked For
Moan like the undead
We can't wait to see what the comments section thinks about this one. According to a South African retailer, there's going to be a Dead Island: Definitive Edition landing on PlayStation 4 at some point in the future. Obviously, retail listings are never concrete evidence of an upcoming, unannounced release, but they're usually a...
Rumour Future PS4 Firmware Update Adding Calendar App
Pick your moment
You may never lose track of your gaming schedule again, as it looks like a calendar is being added to the PlayStation 4 as part of a future firmware update.

Rumour Tron: Escape Parks Its Lightcycle on PS4
Trip the light fantastic
Someone get Daft Punk on the line: there's a new Tron game in production for the PlayStation 4. Well, that appears to be the case anyway, as a listing for a release named Tron: Escape has been spotted on a Brazilian ratings board. It's coming to the PlayStation 4 apparently – even though it's the first that we've heard...
Rumour Rise of the Tomb Raider to Clamber onto PS4 in Late 2016
Port will apparently not be full-price
Time to take out your mouth guard and chomp down on a tasty rumour regarding Rise of the Tomb Raider: the Xbox exclusive will apparently release on the PlayStation 4 in Q4 2016. This tidbit comes courtesy of YouTube channel The Know, which has a shaky track record right now; the account successfully leaked Dark...
Rumour Beyond Good & Evil 2 Is Dead and Buried
Yves forbade Jade
Sony's big E3 2015 press conference may have felt a little like a séance for formerly dead projects, but there's one title that it failed to resurrect: Beyond Good & Evil 2. The astute among you may have noticed that the release was absent from Ubisoft's media briefing, and that's because it's apparently dead as a dodo –...

Big rigs
Guerrilla Cambridge, the British arm of Dutch first-party Guerrilla Games, is gearing up to announce a 3v3 arena shooter named Rigs at Sony's press conference, reports Videogamer.com.

E3 2015 Today's Crazy Rumours Include Final Fantasy VII and Shenmue
But of course
It wouldn't be E3 without some utter nonsense doing the rounds – and the global gaming media is bringing out the big guns today.

It doesn't cite a source, but its...

The former fighter is an interesting addition, as he was a character in the...
Rumour A Vanquish Sequel Will Be Sliding into E3 2015
"Get outta the way"
The E3 rumour mill's in maximum operation right now, as evidenced by the fact that new unconfirmed stories are popping up at an increasingly alarming rate. Next on the agenda is a current whisper that Platinum Games will be unveiling a sequel to third-person shooter-action hybrid Vanquish. The PlayStation 3 title was roughly five...
Rumour Around Half of Sony's E3 Booth Will Be Devoted to PS4's VR Push
A reality
Sony will be devoting a huge portion of its E3 2015 booth to PlayStation 4 virtual reality headset Project Morpheus, claims specialist site VRFocus.

Rumour Ratchet & Clank PS4 Reboot Gameplay to Get Up Your Arsenal Today
A crack in time
Ah, you can't beat E3 – after all, we love reporting on rumours rather than actual information.

Back from the dead
Nintendo Wii U launch title ZombiU could infect the PlayStation 4 in the near future, according to a new report on Unseen64 citing a Ubisoft source.

Rumour Dark Souls III PS4 Screenshots Summoned Ahead of E3 2015
Bodies will be burned
To report on the rumour or not to report on the rumour – that is the question. Screenshots of Dark Souls III, a game which we first heard about earlier in the week, have apparently leaked – but they've stemmed from the same source as that god-awful Silent Hill
Rumour Fallout 4 May Usher the Apocalypse in 2015
Shake the room
Stock up on tinned food and batten down the hatches, as Fallout 4 could release on the PlayStation 4 this year. While the post-apocalyptic role-playing game was only officially announced earlier today, a slew of online stores have hinted at a 2015 launch for the long
Rumour Destiny: The Taken King Will Give You Wings
Red Bull outs new add-on
Swot up on your Grimoire cards, because there's lots more Destiny on the way. As rumoured earlier in the year, the release's next major expansion appears to be named The Taken King – and there's a good chance that you'll get your first look at it during Sony's big E3 2015 press conference later this month. You're not sick...
Rumour Dark Souls III to Slaughter E3 2015
Knight to know you

The sequel – which may debut during Sony's press conference – will apparently be directed by creator Hidetaka Miyazaki, which is a surprise consid
News Sigh! This Silent Hills Revival Rumour Is a Load of Rubbish
No, Microsoft isn't buying Xbox One exclusivity for billions of dollars
Alright, seeing as IGN is reporting on this one, we'll take the bait: Silent Hills is not going to be announced as an Xbox One exclusive at E3 2015 next month. Well, theoretically it could be, but this brand new rumour which emerged on Rooster Teeth and is popping up all over...
Rumour Need for Speed Rushes to PS4 from 3rd November
Race to retail
Need for Speed, the PlayStation 4 reboot of EA Games' legendary racing franchise, will tack on its body kit and take to the track from 3rd November – well, if a leaked Xbox Games Store listing is to be believed. Microsoft's been quite good at outing dates of late, and the Redmond firm pulled the page as soon as it was listed, so...
News So, Looks Like Sony's Already Working on the PS5
A whole new world
While the PlayStation 4 is likely to be around for many years yet, we'd expect Sony to be starting to think about the future right about now. It's already set out its stall with the likes of PlayStation Now, but with Internet infrastructure not quite up to speed, we suspect that there'll be at least one more traditional console...
News No, This Is Not Proof of Crash Bandicoot PS4
We wished it was
This time every year the Internet goes stir crazy over rumours that make very little logical sense. We saw glimpses of that earlier in the week with Shenmue, but this Crash Bandicoot image is even worse. Once again, it revolves around a fuzzy photograph of a projector screen featuring everyone's favourite Converse-wearing rodent...
News No, Shenmue III Ain't Looking for Sailors on PS4
Don't you know fakes are way uncool?
Remember the day the snow turned to rain? Yeah, sounds like a tall tale to us – a bit like this supposed Shenmue leak. The rumour appears to stem from a Japanese site, but has been picked up by some regional variants of IGN – and now we're here to tell you why it's more rubbish than Disc Four of the otherwise...
Rumour The Next Assassin's Creed on PS4 Will Sport a Brother and Sister Protagonist Combo
Dual wielding
After all of the furore over Ubisoft's statements regarding female characters in Assassin's Creed Unity, it may appear as though the company is trying to smooth things over with Assassin's Creed Victory – otherwise known as Assassin's Creed Syndicate – if the rumours are to be believed. According to Kotaku, sources have claimed...
Rumour Fallout 4 to Make Its PS4 Premiere at E3 2015
It's happening
With Bethesda holding its own E3 press conference this year, that can surely only mean one thing, right? The Internet's been riddled with rumours and speculation regarding Fallout 4 for what feels like an eternity, but we've heard nothing concrete for years – until now. Luis Nieves is a freelance 3D artist, and according to his...
Rumour Dishonored: Definitive Edition Sneaks Up on PS4
Arkane magic
Arkane Studios' stealth-'em-up Dishonored was an outstanding game, but we could probably do without a PlayStation 4 remaster. Still, we suppose that Bethesda was never going to be able to resist the re-release money sitting on the table, and so a Brazilian ratings board has seemingly leaked an updated edition of the Dunwall infiltrating...
News Those MediEvil PS4 Rumours Have Risen from Their Grave
Boned
For as long as this site has been online, there have been rumours regarding a hypothetical MediEvil sequel. Sir Dan Fortesque was a pretty popular character on the PSone, before he got bundled back into his coffin. Sony did allow the star to stretch his bony legs in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, but a full comeback has always seemed...
Rumour The Talos Principle Puzzles PS4 from 25th August
Thinking outside the box
The last thing that you'd expect to seep out of Serious Sam developer Croteam is a philosophical first-person puzzler, but The Talos Principle has generated a lot of buzz since its release on the PC in 2014. We already know, of course, that a PlayStation 4 version is in the pipeline – but now Amazon appears to have outed a...
Rumour The Taken King Is Destiny's Big September DLC
Return of the king
A while back now, it was rumoured that Destiny would be getting a larger expansion in September. The rumour started with a supposedly leaked image of the shooter's DLC plan, and now, eagle eyed NeoGAF user Kifimbo has spotted a trademark for 'The Taken King', which has appeared alongside what seems to be a logo. With the title's...
Rumour Tales of Zestiria May Be the Franchise's First PS4 Game
Second retailer lists game on new-gen console
Rumour has it that Tales of Zestiria is coming to PlayStation 4 - and it's a murmur that we would truly like to believe. Talk of the latest entry in the Tales Of franchise appearing on Sony's newest console has been rife ever since the PlayStation 3 title was announced, but there's been no official word...
Rumour Watch Dogs 2 Goes Walkies on Ubisoft Employee's CV
Woof break
In the least surprising news ever, Watch Dogs 2 appears to have been let off its lease. Julien Risse, who worked on the previous instalment in the phone hacking series, has accidentally included the release on his Linked In profile. This is no surprise, of course, as Ubisoft has talked about the possibility of creating a sequel to the...
Rumour Call of Duty: Black Ops III Will Skip PS3
First screenshots sneak out
The ageing PlayStation 3 may have just got another nail embedded into its coffin, as it sounds like Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be skipping last-gen systems, and focusing on the latest round of hardware, such as the PlayStation 4. An early article from Mashable – which includes the handful of screenshots embedded...
Rumour Call of Duty: Black Ops III Blows PS4 Away from 6th November
Beta available for pre-orders
Call of Duty: Black Ops III will crash onto the PlayStation 4 from 6th November, assuming that a leaked GameSpot promotional display is accurate. The placeholder ESRB rating on the left-hand side of the case confirms that this is from the United States, so backwards dating conventions apply – yes, we thought that it...
Rumour People Are Saying That Sony Will Promote Call of Duty: Black Ops III
Back in black?
Welcome to the latest generation of games consoles – where co-marketing deals have taken the place of the third-party exclusives that don't exist anymore. When you stop and think about it, it's pretty moronic that platform holders are fighting over the rights to advertise games, but this is big business at the moment – just look...
Rumour Mass Effect PS4 Sounds Massive, Ambitious, and Awesome
Survey spills the space beans on sci-fi sequel
And that's associate editor Robert Ramsey crying into his early afternoon coffee. The self-diagnosed Mass Effect maniac has been mentioning for months that he hopes that the next entry in BioWare's space faring series doesn't leak while he's offline; sorry buddy, but your University student-style hours...
Rumour ITV and Channel 4 Streaming to UK PS4s
'Appy now?
Does anyone even watch television "live" anymore? Fair enough, sporting events are best enjoyed as they happen, but we can't remember the last time that we sat down at 19:00PM on the dot to catch the latest episode of Emmerdale – it's all about on-demand these days. It's frustrating, then, that the PlayStation 4 has been missing the ITV...
Rumour Guitar Hero Live Goes First-Person
No, really
There's something funny about Call of Duty publisher Activision turning Guitar Hero Live – the next entry in the storied rhythm series – into a first-person rock-'em-up. However, a leaked report from Yahoo! France suggests that that's exactly what British studio Freestyle Games is about to reveal later today, as it attempts to put...
Rumour Did a Caterer Just Reveal Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5?
Back to the grind
Leaks tend to come from trademarks or outspoken executives – you certainly don't expect caterers to be unveiling games. But one chef may be regretting his excited Instagram from earlier in the evening, as he may have just revealed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. It's not that much of a surprise, of course – the Birdman confirmed a...
News This Certainly Isn't Confirmation of a PS4 Uncharted Collection
Doesn't mean it's not in development, though
Minor exaggeration: every website under the sun is reporting on this 'leaked' Uncharted Trilogy Collection for the PlayStation 4, so we suppose that we better chime in and tell you why it's fake. Available for pre-order now from a Swiss retailer's website that totally doesn't look dodgy in the slightest,...
Rumour Spotify Will Stream Your Playlists to PS4, PS3 from 30th May
Play it loud and proud
You'll have a little bit of time to put together your perfect PlayStation playlist, as PlayStation France is reporting that Spotify won't launch on Sony's systems until 30th May. The platform holder's own Music Unlimited service will shutdown this month to make way for the new PlayStation Music platform, but it looks like...
Rumour Guitar Hero PS4 to Rock the Boat from 1st April
Activision's feeling plucky
Guitar Hero PlayStation 4 will plug in and practice a few power chords on 1st April, an invitation received by Gamereactor UK suggests. The site – which has since pulled its article – reported that Activision will be holding an event at "Hamburg Rock City" where it suggested that attendees should be ready to "rock the...
Rumour Holy Remaster, Batman! Arkham Duo Set to Swoop onto PS4
Why so serious?
Batman: Arkham Knight may be months away from completing Rocksteady's dark take on the Caped Crusader, but it seems like Warner Bros has got a remaster lined up to give you your comic book fill this Christmas. According to a report on IGN Italy – citing "reliable sources" – Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City will be...
Rumour God of War III Spills Guts on PlayStation 4
By the Gods
It's looking like God of War III, arguably the best, and easily the most jaw dropping title in Sony's series, is coming to the PlayStation 4. If you're sick and tired of remasters, then feel free to stop reading and start complaining, but we reckon that this is at least a game worthy of another look on next-gen hardware. According to
Rumour Gravity Rush Remaster Purrs to PS4
Kat's got the cream
The outstanding (but criminally underrated) Gravity Rush looks like it's finally ready to turn your gaming world upside down again. Eagle eyed posters on NeoGAF spotted a submission for a Gravity Rush Remaster on the Korean ratings board. The platform, as has been rum
