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
Your skin may still be pale following Bloodborne's punishing campaign, but sources have told VG247 that Dark Souls III will be announced at E3 2015 next month. 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
Rumour Konami Power Struggle Leads to Hideo Kojima Craziness
War never changes
Just as we were going to press with our report on suggestions that Hideo Kojima has parted company with Konami, our friends at GameSpot posted a slightly more speculative article regarding the inner-happenings at the Japanese publisher. According to the site – via an anonymous source – a power struggle between the organisat
Rumour PS4 Exclusive DriveClub May Be Channelling Its Inner-MotorStorm
Raid to go
As much as we've enjoyed DriveClub since it's been polished up post-release, we can't help but ponder what a next-gen MotorStorm would be like, complete with the crazy weather effects that Evolution Studios has already concocted. Well, we may be about to find out, as it looks like the Runcorn-based developer is adding, er, buggies to its...
Rumour This Journo Reckons You Should Expect Big PS4 Exclusives This Christmas
Of course he does
"I've got a friend who's got a friend who's got a friend that works at Sony – and they say that you should expect some big unannounced PlayStation 4 exclusives this Christmas." To be honest, we're not in the habit of reporting on hearsay, but this is topical, so we'll give MCV editor Christopher Dring's off-the-cuff Twitter...
Rumour PS4 Firmware Update 2.50 Could Change the Game for People with Disabilities
About time
Sometimes, when you're fit and healthy, it's easy to forget just how difficult life can be for others. We take things for granted every day, and for this author, that includes playing video games. It's seems like such a simple thing, but not everyone is able to operate a DualShock 4 confidently enough to enjoy the PlayStation 4, and that...
Rumour PS4 Firmware Update 2.50 Will Enable External Hard Drive Back Ups
Disk jockey
It's not mentioned in the beta's changelog, but it seems that PlayStation 4 firmware update v2.50 may allow you to back up your hard drive to an external device. A picture floating around on various forums shows an off-screen photograph of the procedure, which will allow you to move all of your applications to another place. This will,...
Rumour Street Fighter V Will Throw a Fireball at the PS4 Next Spring
Nash to know
Street Fighter V may not be far away, if a deleted comment on Capcom's official Unity blog is to be believed. In an attempt to flog some PAX East promotional gear, the publisher unwittingly mentioned that the PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive fighter will throw a fireball next spring. The vague release window has since been removed,...
Rumour Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Sneaks to PS4, PS3 on 1st September
Kept you waiting, huh?
Remember that big Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain announcement? Well, it looks like it's just leaked. The web is currently going gaga over a screenshot from an IGN video, which hints that the latest entry in Hideo Kojima's colossal stealth series will deploy on 1st September on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. This...
Rumour Could the Developer Behind the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Games Be Making an Open World RPG?
CyberConnect2 currently recruiting
CyberConnect2 is one of those developers that's hardly put a foot wrong in recent years. Mostly known for its consistently solid Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series, the studio also created the equally solid Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle, and the bombastic original property, Asura's Wrath. It's a team with...
Rumour Guitar Hero PS4 to Make Some Noise at E3 2015
Who loves rock 'n' roll?
Activision is tuning up a new entry in the Guitar Hero series for the PlayStation 4, separate sources have told Kotaku. Apparently, the reboot – which will adopt a more realistic style – will be officially announced at E3 2015, and will come with a brand new round of plastic peripherals for use on Sony's next-gen system...
Rumour Rock Band's Shredding a Path to PS4
Plug in, baby
The rumour that refuses to die has been amplified overnight, as Bloomberg reports that a new Rock Band is in production for the PlayStation 4. An anonymous person "familiar with the plan" told the reputable source that Harmonix is planning to re-launch its party property on Sony's next-gen system, which follows the arrival of new Rock...
Rumour March's Free PS4 PlayStation Plus Game May Be Helldivers
Hell yeah
Helldivers has been in the works for what feels like an eternity, but the co-operative shooter has maintained its hype in that time. There was an outpouring of enthusiasm when Magicka developer Arrowhead Game Studios announced that it would deploy from 3rd March earlier this week, then – but you may not even have to pay to play the...
Rumour Darksiders II: Definitive Edition Will Dice with Death on PS4
Riding into sight
Do you remember when Darksiders was almost a big deal? The original entry in Vigil Games' action series built up a bit of a cult following, which led to lots of hype for its inevitable successor. However, while the Zelda-inspired sequel received plenty of positive reviews, it didn't move enough copies to save troubled publisher...
News Bungie Shoots a Few Holes in Destiny's House of Wolves Expansion Leak
Pew pew
We know everyone loves a good leak, especially when it's a big game under the spotlight, but a lot of the time, these rumours are shot down before they can really gather momentum. That's not quite what's happened regarding Destiny and yesterday's House of Wolves leak, but developer Bungie's tried putting a dampener on it anyway. Dousing the...
Rumour Destiny's Second Expansion House of Wolves Will Enter Orbit in May
Howling at the moon
We may not have been the biggest fans of Destiny's first expansion, The Dark Below, but we must admit that its second attempt, House of Wolves, sounds better already. We won't post any of the images here on this page, but according to a supposed leak on the ever-informative Reddit, the DLC will launch in May, and it'll push the...
News There Will Be a PS4 Slim, But This Isn't Proof of It
Netflix reckons a 'revision' is coming this Fall
Let's get one thing straight: there's going to be a revised PlayStation 4 model eventually. Like the passing of time, it's inevitable that Sony will slim down its super machine in order to encourage early adopters to darn well double dip like puppets. We've already seen some fake photos of what this...
News Metal Gear Rising to Serve Up a Second Dose of Revengeance on PS4?
Raiden you wait and see?
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance may have been borderline incomprehensible at points – seriously, what the heck happened during that final boss fight? – but it was yet another outstanding action game from Japanese developer Platinum Games. And, during the Taipei Game Show overnight, Sony has hinted that a sequel to the...
Rumour Apotheon, Transistor Free for PS4 in February PlayStation Plus Update
Yakuza 4, Thief, and more on offer

Rumour Could Call of Duty: World at War II Be Treyarch's Next Title?
Suit up, soldier
The rumour mill's in overdrive right now, but our bullturd detector reckons that this is just about on the right side of plausible – until proven otherwise, anyway. Earlier in the week, an image appeared on the web hinting that Call of Duty: World at War II would be revealed on 4th May. While it looked professional enough, it's...
Rumour Sony Bend Was Working on an inFAMOUS Title for Vita, But It Got Zapped
Naughty Dog apparently nixed new Uncharted, too
In an interview at GamesCom over a year ago, Sucker Punch veteran Nate Fox seemed to suggest that an inFAMOUS game was in production for the PlayStation Vita. Now, as part of a sequence of posts on Reddit, ex-Sony
News Could Quantic Dream Drop the Temperature with a Fahrenheit Remaster?
Cold as ice
We've been waiting all month for Quantic Dream to announce its January news, but it looks like we may have been looking in the wrong place. While a PlayStation 4 port of Beyond: Two Souls has seemed all but inevitable for some time now, a new website suggests that it may be Fahrenheit (known
Rumour Could The Elder Scrolls Online Be Adventuring onto PS4 Next Month?
By the Nine
The Elder Scrolls Online's console appearance is pretty much the stuff of myth and legend at this point, but given that it's now 2015, we reckon news of its current state must be on the way. Word from the Gods may come sooner than we thought, though, because the MMO has been spotted on the Microsoft Store, complete with a release date...
