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...
Rumour Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Will Get a Free to Play Battle Royale Mode After Launch
Free for all
Will Call of Duty: Modern Warfare have a Battle Royale mode? Many multiplayer modes have been confirmed for Infinity Ward's latest entry in the series, including Ground War which apparently supports 100 players, but Battle Royale isn't among the announced lineup. However, rumour has it that the popular mode will be coming to the game,...
Rumour First Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 3 Screens Leeked Online
Map and character screens sown off
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 3 is gaming's worst kept secret at the moment. It's yet to be officially announced, but it's known that a multiplayer alpha test is going on right now, and publisher EA made mention of a new Plants vs. Zombies game in a conference call earlier in the year. Speaking of that alpha...
Rumour New Game Plus Is in the Works for Cyberpunk 2077
Second life
New game plus isn't anything all that surprising in games these days. Lots of popular titles include the unlockable mode, allowing you to play through again with a souped up character and tougher opponents. 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...
News Sucker Punch Writer 'Reveals' The Order: 1886 Sequel
But promptly backtracks
Sucker Punch writer Jordan Lemos – who’s currently busy beavering away on Japanese samurai open worlder Ghost of Tsushima – “revealed” a sequel to The Order: 1886 on a podcast this week. Given his position within the Worldwide Studios family, Reddit was quick to pick up on the story,
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? It really is starting to sound like the real deal, though, as a post on a Chinese gaming forum points to this once again being the right time for its launch. Corroborated by the ever-reliable insider ZhugeEX, it is also said that four...
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. Fan fiction on Reddit claims that the sequel will span Vice City, South America, and Cuba – it’ll also purportedly run decades, with each location changing as the years whisk by. Just like in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, you’ll...
Rumour PS5 Is More Powerful Than Project Scarlett According to Colin Moriarty
But is it true?
During the course of E3 2019, some hearsay from well-connected folks called into question whether Microsoft's Project Scarlett will measure up to PlayStation 5. Game Informer's Andrew Reiner was found to be spreading word that Sony's next-gen machine will be the more powerful of the two, and now,
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. While it’s far from a confirmation, the PlayStation Store pre-order page for CD Projekt RED’s hotly anticipated role-playing game mentions that the release will require 80GB of hard...
News Some Fans Think Remedy and PlayStation May Be Partnering
Quantum repair
There’s a strange story doing the rounds that PlayStation may be partnering with Max Payne developer Remedy on a new game. It’s worth noting that the platform holder has already been fairly pally with the Finnish studio since it signed marketing rights to upcoming third-person shooter Control, but some feel that the
News Was Halo: The Master Chief Collection Considered for PS4?
Franchise director weighs in on wild rumour
Microsoft’s seemingly becoming more platform agnostic, with its software and services now exploring devices outside of the Xbox ecosystem. The thought of Halo coming to the PlayStation 4 is not as wild as it once was, then – although it does, at first blush, still seem pretty crazy. Speaking on a...
Rumour Subtle Easter Egg Suggests Marvel's Avengers and Spider-Man PS4 Are Connected
But they probably aren't
It's a question that's been thrown around for a while, but after the full unveiling of Marvel's Avengers, there's obviously some renewed interest. Is Insomniac's PlayStation 4 exclusive Marvel's Spider-Man connected to Crystal Dynamics' newly revealed superhero title? Common sense says no, but
Rumour Final Fantasy 8 Remaster to Be Revealed During Square Enix's E3 2019 Show
Get your gunblades ready
We've had a Final Fantasy VII remaster. We've had a Final Fantasy IX remaster. But what about a Final Fantasy VIII remaster? Well, a reworked version of Final Fantasy VIII's been available on PC for an eternity, but it's a bit weird that it's never arrived on PlayStation 4. 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”. That may have been deliberate, as word on the street is that the PlayStation 5 is currently the more capable of the two devices, although that’s hearsay from the E3...
Rumour New Final Fantasy VII Remake Trailer Drops Tonight, Ahead of Square Enix E3 Showcase
Cloudy forecast

Rumour Assassin's Creed Odyssey Story Creator Mode to Be Announced at E3 2019
The pieces fall into place
Okay, you'll have to bear with us on this one, because it's a pretty crazy rumour that comes in two parts.

The post in question spoke of a "Story Mode Creator" for Assassin's Creed...
Rumour Ubisoft will Announce Rainbow Six Quarantine at E3 2019
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. One publisher that's fallen victim to this is Ubisoft, which has had reveals for games like Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Watch Dogs Legion, and Roller Champions spoiled ahead of time. By the looks of it, we might...

Rumour PSVR Support Could Be Coming to Dreams Early Access Today
Update: Scratch that
Update: Never mind. Original story: Well, this came out of nowhere.

However, we're now seeing reports that it could turn up much sooner than that. The developer...
Rumour Death Stranding Is a Timed PS4 Exclusive, Coming to PC
Update: Or maybe not?
Update: Antonio Fucito has commented on this rumour, stressing that Death Stranding's purported timed exclusivity is based on Kojima Productions' original announcement with PlayStation.

Rumour Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Release Date Leaked Ahead of Reveal
Intelligence breach
Well, that didn't take long, did it? Activision announced the time it will be revealing the latest Call of Duty, and a release date has apparently already been leaked.

Rumour The Last of Us: Part 2 Release Date Internally Delayed to 2020
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. And just to be clear: that’s this year...

News The Last of Us 2 State of Play Rumour Looking More and More Unlikely
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. There's a slim chance that we could hear something later tonight, but at this point, we're not holding our breath. Does this mean the rumour surrounding the supposed trailer is also false? Not necessarily, but...

Rumour Destroy All Humans to Return to Earth at E3 2019
Something something Crypto-currency
You know there isn't long to go before E3 when some ropey rumours start coming out of the woodwork.

News Could Ghostbusters: The Video Game Be Sliming PS4?
Taiwanese ratings board reckons so
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. A leaked Taiwanese rating for Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered certainly suggests as much, and while the Xbox One is...
Or he could just be trolling
The second State of Play broadcast from Sony is tomorrow, and despite the platform holder outlining what to expect, rumours have been swirling about what else might crop up during the 10-minute presentation. In addition to a look at the MediEvil remake, Sony has promised the reveal of a brand new game, but word on the...

Rumour May 2019's PS Plus Games Possibly Leaked by PS4 Menu Screenshot
Seems legit
We're due an official announcement on May's PlayStation Plus lineup later today, but a screen grab from a Russian PS4 user appears to have outed them early -- if it's real, of course.

Rumour Mortal Kombat 11's Entire DLC Roster May Have Leaked
Spoilers, obviously
Mortal Kombat 11 is not out until next week, but some lucky street fighters have already got their fists on the sequel.

In fact, a hacked version of the Nintendo Switch edition means...
News Insiders Claim That Next Xbox Is More Advanced Than PS5
It begins
Sony officially unveiled the first details regarding the PlayStation 5 this week, catching the industry somewhat by surprise in the process.

Of course, Xbox chief Phil Spencer alluded in Los Angeles last year that it will...
News Star Wars Actress: You're Gonna Die When You See Horizon: Zero Dawn's Sequel
"I know some secrets"
It looks like Guerrilla Games is working on a multiplayer title, but the colossal Dutch studio is big enough to support multiple projects now, and we suspect few of you will be surprised to learn that it’s beavering away on a follow-up to the wildly successful Horizon: Zero Dawn. Speaking at a Star Wars convention, actress...
News PS5 Will Offer 'PS Plus Premium', Says Nonsensical Rumour
It's that time again
Oh hell yeah, it's for another ridiculous PlayStation 5 rumour! This one comes from an anonymous post from a European developer who is supposedly working on a PS5 launch title.

Rumour Borderlands 3 Release Date Discovered By Fan
It seems to add up

Wait, what's that? It's not April Fools Day yet? Huh, okay.

News There Are Fake PS5 Controller Photographs Circulating
Follow the white rabbit
We’d put money on the PlayStation 5 still being a good 18 months away, but that means it’s ripe for the odd rumour or three, right? What about clearly fake, mock-up photographs? Well, we’re off, with our first “look” at the DualShock 5 – except this is less authentic than a Hollywood smile. The bogus input device...
News There Are All Sorts of Rumours Flying Around About Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4

Rumour EA Access Spotted on Brazilian PlayStation Store
Is it coming to PS4?
There's nothing like a ropey image to lend credence to a rumour, is there? You may recall publisher EA mention during a conference call that it plans to bring its subscription service, EA Access, to "another major platform" in 2019. Many assumed this major platform to be PlayStation 4, despite Sony's initial stance against it,...
Rumour Lady Gaga Will Be in Cyberpunk 2077, Apparently
A video game star is born?
Another day, another Cyberpunk 2077 rumour. CD Projekt Red's highly anticipated sci-fi RPG seems to be one of those games that generates a lot of hearsay, some more plausible than others. It was only a few days ago that a rumour was going around suggesting a 2019 release date for the game is on the cards which, let's face...
