A new year means new games. And new hypemachine cycles in which to sell those games, am I right? By now, you’ve seen it all in every game ever released. You’ve read the interviews where developers gush over just how authentic the Perforate 2.0 Engine is in Ace McStab Yo Face 5: Days of our Knives, you’ve watched a trailer where big bold font tells you that a kajillion weapons await you on a hostile planet and something something blockchain. Yawn.

It’s E3 month! What that means is that you can expect a world of rumours, leaks, speculation and even outright forgeries to suggest new games, exciting games are coming. Here’s just such a rumour.
