    Footage from Xbox's cancelled Perfect Dark reboot is circulating online

    A roughly two-minute video of gameplay from the cancelled Perfect Dark reboot is circulating on social media, first reported by Mp1st, showing snippets from various stages of development including fleshed-out levels, early grey-box gunplay testing, abilities and destructible fruit. The Initiative's game was announced at The Game Awards in 2020 as an episodic, Westworld-inspired reimagining, got a gameplay reveal at the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase, and was cancelled months later when Xbox stopped funding and development and The Initiative shut down. Joanna Dark's voice actor Alix Wilton Regan said she was blindsided by the cancellation after recording entire chapters of the universe.

    Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 Could Be Set for PS5 and Xbox Series Upgrades After Definitive Editions Leak Online

    An ESRB rating suggests Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 could come to PS5 and Xbox Series consoles with upgraded graphics, both rated Mature 17+. Mafia: Definitive Edition previously released for modern consoles in September 2020 and later received a PS5 and Xbox Series update alongside Mafia: The Omertà Collection, so these listings likely point to current-gen upgrades rather than full remakes. Publisher 2K has not officially announced the ports.

    Dealabs leaker billbil-kun claims Forza Horizon 6 will not arrive on PS5 in 2026 but on January 26, 2027. The Verge's Tom Warren said on August 27 he did not expect a 2026 PS5 release, while Playground Games insisted in a September 7 official update that the PS5 version was still coming that year. Dealabs also says the game will get a physical release and, in Europe at least, cost the same as the Xbox version.

    Leaker billbil-kun claims the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 6 has been delayed to 26th January 2027, with an official announcement and pre-orders possibly opening this week. The claim puts the game at £59.99 in the UK and €69.99 in the rest of Europe, with a physical disc version at retail, though billbil-kun could not verify a PS5 Premium Edition. The Verge's Tom Warren and IGN reported a delay in late August, which Playground Games denied days later, and the studio apologised yesterday for a lack of communication.

    Mounting Evidence Says Sony Is 'Accepting Game Pitches' for Fan Fave Franchises

    Multiple sources say Sony is accepting game pitches for fan favourite franchises and plans to license older brands to talented third-party studios, funding and publishing the games itself with original creators involved. Reports point to a Killzone remake at People Can Fly, an Ape Escape revival at Evening Star, and chatter of a new Sly Cooper. The leaker believes the first wave of this initiative could arrive around the PS6 launch window, with titles likely also shipping on PS5.

    Rumour: More Sources Back Ape Escape Revival from Ex-Sonic Mania Devs

    More sources have backed the rumour that Evening Star Studio is developing an Ape Escape revival. Journalist Jeff Gerstmann said on his podcast that the reporting is true, and VGC said its own sources confirmed the same. The earlier claim came from Reddit user IcyPenguin28, who cited a couple of credible sources and pointed to the studio's CTO Hunter Bridges being a fan of the series, a job ad for an anime-styled 3D character artist, and CEO Dave Padilla's 2025 move to Tokyo. Gerstmann said he heard about this a while ago and that the game may be very early in development.

    Report claims Forza Horizon 6 hits PS5 on January 26, 2027

    Dealabs reports that Forza Horizon 6 will come to PS5 on January 26, 2027, a date it says backs up the delay mentioned by Tom Warren and contradicts Xbox's official line that still pointed to 2026. The PS5 version is said to get a physical disc release the same day, priced at €69.99 in Europe and £59.99 in the UK, matching the Xbox Series version, with a US price expected at $69.99. It is not yet known whether a Premium Edition or early access will be offered on PS5, and an official date announcement is expected this week with pre-orders to follow.

    Alleged in-development footage of the Perfect Dark reboot from The Initiative, cancelled by Microsoft as part of last July's mass layoffs, has surfaced via a VFX artist's portfolio.

A leaker claims the first wave of this initiative could arrive around the PS6 launch window.
