In news that saw the plot thicken, fans recently cottoned on to the existence of two new Twitter accounts for ye olde Perfect Dark and Fable. Profiles for games which according to the truest of believers, are well overdue for a remake or a brand new entry. And now for the Buzz killington part of this story, as those hopes of yours which were looking to pull a Superman and go up, up and away are about to be dragged right back to Earth.

IO Interactive is going back to a “more mature, serious, darker” tone for Hitman 3 after the previous game featured more...wacky elements.

Yesterday’s Night City Wire dive had a whole bunch of new content to show off for Cyberpunk 2077, revealing more of a game that so far looks downright stunning, detailed and features a world where Keanu Reeves will never truly die.

A brief video and pretty important audio seems have been unveiled, indicating the return of the big bad villain from...Halo Wars 2?

On the surface, Marvel’s Avengers looks like your stock standard live service game: Several characters and classes to choose from, a whole lot of gear to chase down so that you’ll always have a mathematical edge in combat and a whole lot cannon fodder to punch your way through.

Square Enix has officially confirmed that Marvel’s Avengers will be up for a free upgrade from PS4 and Xbox One to PS5 and Xbox Series X, when said versions arrive on those machines. Players will be able to carry over their save-games and progression, with cross-generation multiplayer within the same console family also being supported.

Microsoft will be upgrading their xCloud gaming service to the new generation of consoles early next year.

Sony may have finally lifted the lid on their gaming wi-fi router, but they’re still keeping quiet on just how games will be better in the 2020s. As for Microsoft? They reckon this upcoming generation will be about collapsing your entire gaming history into one compatible ecosystem that’ll tickle all your senses.
