As noted by Take-Two president Karl Slatoff in the company’s fiscal earnings call, there are plans to release six remakes, remasters and “platform extensions” throughout fiscal years 2028 and 2029. That’s excluding the three new core IPs and seven sequels that are in the works.

The first thing that comes to mind is Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake, which Remedy Entertainment is developing in partnership with Rockstar. It’s also possible that Red Dead Redemption 1 re-releases on other platforms in the future (far-fetched as that sounds). But is it too much to expect rumors of the long-awaited Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster to be true?

Of course, “platform extensions” is another key term, and for all we know, it could encompass bringing Grand Theft Auto 6 to PS6, Project Helix and PC. If so, then it wouldn’t be surprising for PC players to see a port sometime next year, if not in early 2028.

On The Xbox Two podcast with Rand al Thor, the duo discussed newly appointed XBOX chief strategy officer Matthew Ball and his statement about reviving “storied” franchises. When the former said this might mean Fallout, Corden responded, “I’ve heard that like, I don’t know how true this is, but one thing I heard is Fallout remasters are probably a little bit further off than people think, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is still quite far away. I suppose that getting some of those games out more quickly is probably something they’re probably very thinking is top of mind for them.”

Both believe that the alleged Fallout remasters could arrive starting next year, if not “at least one of them.” Corden went a step further, theorizing that perhaps The Elder Scrolls 6 could launch in 2028 or even 2029. At this point, launching any time before the decade is up would be a miracle.

Bethesda’s Todd Howard has said on more than one occasion that multiple Fallout projects are in the works, and that Fallout 5 would eventually have its time. Whether that includes Fallout 3 Remastered remains unknown, but rumors claim it’s aiming for the same level of polish as The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered (hopefully with better post-launch support).

As for The Elder Scrolls 6, Howard said last March that the “majority of this building” (referring to Bethesda) was working on the title. It’s developed on Creation Engine 3, and the team is “happy where it’s headed”, but sit tight because the team is taking its sweet time with it.

Forbes’ Paul Tassi added to this with new details from his own sources. It seems the decision to stop supporting Destiny 2 was unknown to most of the studio until the actual announcement. As such, the team continued working on future content, including an alleged expansion called Shattered Cycle. Those who were knowledgeable about the decision reportedly felt isolated and “begged” the higher-ups to let more of the studio know about it.

Regarding the layoffs, a town hall meeting was apparently held that saw leadership questioned multiple times about the same. There was no answer, but despite being “significant,” they’re apparently not “immediately imminent,” per Tassi. In the meantime, you probably shouldn’t expect a Destiny 3 announcement any time soon.

Why didn’t it begin development immediately after The Final Shape? Because, as Schreier noted on Twitter, “The answer (as it usually is) is how much money it would take.” With how Sony’s live-service initiative has fared over the past several years, it’s understandably not going to make that investment any time soon.

This doesn’t mean Bungie is completely abandoning the IP, though – it’s apparently pitching other titles that use it without being a “full sequel.” What shape that will take remains to be seen, but as of now, Destiny, as fans know it, is effectively over.

In a new Community Stream, communications director Tobias Stolz-Zwilling and community manager Tom Grey clarified this fact, along with reaffirming a potential release in fiscal year 2027 (so anywhere between April 1st, 2027, and March 31st, 2028). The new title is led by Prokop Jirsa, who served as lead designer on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Meanwhile, the Middle-earth RPG is helmed by the same title’s design director, Viktor Bocan.

Why doesn’t Warhorse Studios call it Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3? Given that the last title served as the end of Henry’s adventure, perhaps it’s the start of a brand new story. It’s further reinforced by Stolz-Zwilling saying that they would “continue expanding the universe of Kingdom Come. That is also very dear to us. Do not forget that Kingdom Come: Deliverance always was and still is and always will be an absolute passion project here in the studio.”

Of course, there’s no release date for the Middle-earth RPG or really anything about its gameplay and mechanics. Interestingly, rumors claim that Crystal Dynamics is working on a role-playing game based on The Lord of the Rings. How this will differ from Warhorse’s effort remains to be seen, so stay tuned for updates.

The development team is currently investigating complaints that AI opponents are a little too fast, “especially at higher difficulties.” It’s also aware of performance issues with AMD GPUs on PC, and fixes are on the way to improve frame rates.

PC players have also noted bugs such as audio crackling, crashes and Invalid Loading errors. While the team has a potential fix in the works for the audio, a hotfix is already live for fixing any Invalid Loading errors. It noted some crashes resulted from unsupported operating systems and hardware that’s below the minimum spec. If you’re on Nvidia, a Turing GPU is a must, while AMD users with Polaris, Vega and older architectures are out of luck.

Of course, this is only the beginning of post-launch support, especially as Playground prepares additional cars and content. The first Festival Playlist, “Welcome to Japan,” is already live, and players can expect a new one each month. There’s also the Italian Passion Car Pack in July, which adds the 2025 Ferrari F80, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider, 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, and 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP.

Stay tuned for more updates as they roll out, and check out our review for Forza Horizon 6 here. It’s available on Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Shot down by who? An unidentified heavily armed force that’s very interested in the camp on the other side of the mountain, which Bond only learns about thanks to contact by MI6. The opening familiarizes players with the game’s basic mechanics, from dashing to cover to crouching in tall grass to avoid detection. Upon tumbling off a cliff-side, he finds the camp, which turns out to be part of a massive retrieval operation that MI6 headed up.

What they were retrieving is “classified”, and it’s unknown what this mysterious force wants with it. Bond quickly finds a parka to warm up – and even gets a chance to flex his Montenegrin to fool a soldier – before the mission begins properly. All in all, it’s a great teaser, showcasing just how Bond came into contact with MI6.

Of course, we won’t have to wait much longer to go hands-on since 007 First Light launches on May 27th (May 26th if you own the Deluxe Edition) for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our feature for all the latest details or the launch trailer.

However, your commander is quite miffed at his counterpart among the Orks, who have swarmed all over Minerva’s Armageddon subsystem with reckless impunity. It’s time to teach them a lesson in the art of war that they’re not likely to forget. The Imperum of Man is all set to enact a swift and brutal counterattack, and we think Minerva is going to be the start of a very long and bloody campaign.

If you’re wondering what we’re on about, this one marks Creative Assembly’s first foray into the Warhammer universe, and is shaping up to be quite an intriguing offering in the strategy genre. The broadcast/trailer for the game ends with the ominous reminder that there is no peace among the stars, a sign of many battles to come.

A release window would have been a welcome addition to the trailer below, but it seems that it may be closer than expected. At 0:37, the words, “Next Transmission Update Scheduled — 17 Cycles.” If each Cycle is one day, that means an update at the PC Gaming Show, set for June 7th.

With this being the first Total War title to launch on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5, a launch date announcement seems all but a given. Stay tuned for more updates until then.

The latest one takes us to what the studio calls a Volcanic Hellscape, a land where life doesn’t seem to thrive in the slightest. Although we only witness the beginning of Jun Aslan’s descent into this bleak place, the crumbling ruins of a distant ship, and an ominously green fog that we suspect might need an air filtration system are obvious highlights.

Even more ominous is the silence that blankets the region like an almost tangible layer of melancholy. A catalyst for the feeling that something sinister has caused it, and is likely lying in wait for its next unwitting victim. Not if we have anything to do with it, though.

This latest showcase follows that intense fight in the Ghost City and that intriguing look at The Guarding Maze from last week. It’s a seriously impressive effort at presenting biome variety, and June 6 cannot get here fast enough for us as we wait to see how the studio brings all of its worlds together.

For Fu, his love for Edward Kenway has played a major role, and he had nothing but praise for the former pirate turned Assassin and the journey that got him there.

“I think he’s just special. He’s almost like a brand within a brand; he’s one of the crown jewels of Ubisoft, in my opinion, and he has a really, really good story. It’s funny, it’s dark, it’s melancholic at times, and it’s just moving.”

We’re quite in agreement with the part about Edward’s story being moving, and we’re humming “Parting Glass”  to ourselves as we write this. Lopez looks beyond Kenway to the Caribbean and the opportunities it presents to showcase how the Anvil Engine has evolved since it brought ancient Japan to life in Shadows. He was also emphatic about how the studio’s experience with naval combat in both Skull and Bones and Assassin’s Creed 3 shaped the decision to go forward with Resynced.

“…for us as a studio, Ubisoft Singapore not only has a history of working on water tech through Anvil, we have a history with naval gameplay and stuff, so when you put all those things together, it’s like, ‘Yeah, why not take a stab at it with Black Flag?… [it] was the perfect opportunity to consolidate and push this even further.”

It’s quite clear that Black Flag remains special to both its makers and its fans, and with Resynced doing away with its modern storyline to better focus on Edward, along with new endgame missions against a pirate hunter, it looks like the man who rose above himself for the Order is all set to charm us once again come July.

Unfortunately, any hopes for Destiny 3 might be shelved for the time being. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier spoke to “people familiar with the studio’s plans” who claimed that the sequel isn’t planned for immediate production. Furthermore, it’s planning to lay off a “significant number” of employees. How many exactly remains unknown.

Right now, pitching new titles (including new entries in the Destiny franchise) is underway, but nothing has been greenlit. Schreier noted that Bungie is one of the “more expensive studios to operate,” both due to its Seattle location and its experienced staff. While you may think Sony would try to preserve as many as possible, it likely mandated the layoffs to counteract the studio’s hefty impairment losses.

And if it wasn’t obvious already, especially after the delay to Destiny 2’s Shadow and Order Update (which has since been renamed to Monument of Triumph), it seems some prior Destiny staff are now working on Marathon. Not that the extraction shooter has been doing huge numbers, but Sony is hopeful and committed to it. For now.
