RUMOR: Silent Hill 3 Remake Development Underway:

Codenamed "Project H"

It would follow the style of the 2nd remake

It will have a greater focus on Survival Horror

It will have a stronger Narrative

Konami wants the Silent Hill IP to be big

Source is honestly an iffy one, and the post is from October, so take with a very big grain of salt.

This said about this source, and regardless of what it says, it's interesting to note that Project H is something that was already confirmed months ago to be in plans by Bloober, also done in-house like SH2 was:

https://wnhub.io/news/other/item-45059

There's Project G before that one as well, which was already in concept phase at this report's time. And Project C is thought to be their recently announced Chronos game. So it's interesting that G and H are one after the other, and maybe related if we go by their letter order (notice that the other letters are C, M and F. There's no Project D- E or I- L, and none of the other projects are in alphabetical order like G and H are).

Some people have theorized that these two could be Silent Hill 1 and 3 Remakes due to their direct continuity unlike the other Silent Hill games.

EDIT/TLDR: Just to make everything clearer. If Project H does turn out to be Silent Hill 3, and G/H are indeed connected, Silent Hill 1 would still release before 3, since Project G (SH1) was already in conceptual phase and H (SH3) was just in plans.

His original post 2 days ago: https://bsky.app/profile/tomwarren.co.uk/post/3ldj527vyws2k

feels like Microsoft has finally hit a good cadence with Xbox Game Pass releases, especially with recent drops like Indiana Jones and what's ahead in 2025. Avowed, South of Midnight, Doom, Towerborne, Fable, Outer Worlds 2, and more are coming next year. I'm also expecting an Xbox event in January 👍

His post today quoting that post, where he reiterates the "and more" part: https://bsky.app/profile/tomwarren.co.uk/post/3ldozp6d4zk2c

“and more” 👍

My guess is he's talking about the Oblivion remake since that seems to be a hot topic lately

Source is Mike Straw from Insider-Gaming.com and he also says that he doesn't know how far along talks are but people from both companies have been pushing for it.

Multiple sources have told me that both EA and Take Two (2K) have had continued internal conversations about a college basketball game.

Unknown how far along talks are, but there are groups within both companies pushing heavily for it.

NinSpider on Famiboards, who shared a drawing of the dock earlier and leaked some other info, says the Switch 2 pro controller will have extra buttons on the back. He also says the buttons on the joycons aren’t release buttons but actual buttons.

He also says heard something for early January but it could be for Xenoblade Chronicles X and not hardware.

Translation: “Hello! I survived the ninja's pursuit. For several reasons, I am writing Japanese using machine translation this time. This may be the last post before "that time".

Here is some reliable information. Two new buttons have been added to the back of the Pro controller, and the new Joy-Con's back button is likely to be for input rather than release.

In addition, there is some unconfirmed information, but the week after the Japanese New Year may be "at that time". However, it is also possible that it is only new information about XCX (Xenoblade Cross).

There will probably be no new information in December. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!”

Klobrille and NateTheDrake corroborated that Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake is coming sometime in 2025, they speculate it could also be announced at the January Direct but it's just guessing.

Remake is more like Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, same gameplay with some improvements but with UE5 makeup.

A build from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 with the Zombies portion contains the scrapped DLC 5 maps. Both early versions of Origins & Buried, dating from August 2013, have been released. This video by Riley541 & Galaxy showcases Kino der Toten on the BO2Z Build and footage of Early Origins (with an early WIP Intro Cutscene attached). Also, JuggerV2 has dropped a 1 hour footage of the Bo2z build stuff.

The Build contains the cut DLC 5 Maps (WAW + BO1 Maps except for COTD) and early versions of Origins & Buried. So naturally, the BO2 DLC 5 myths and rumors were technically real. However, the DLC 5 idea was brought on to become Zombies Chronicles for Black Ops 3 Zombies.

And from Riley541's description

Thanks to MrPinball64 for release.

Christmas Present: The biggest Call of Duty release so far!

I recovered two more builds from an Activision kit that I released the CoD Ghosts and CoD AW builds from previously.

Two builds of Black Ops 2 Zombies, dated June and August 2013, including the unreleased DLC5.

first_playable is a build containing only Origins in it's first playable version, so pretty early with DLC5 listing in menus, the debug executable for ZM is overwritten (but we can use cluster one).

The cluster of files was a build pulled out in August 2013, it contains DLC5 fastfiles but not listing in menus, for some reason early Buried map file but not the scripts going with it (zm_buried_patch.ff who includes them is from retail version) and two cut maps named zm_transit_tm and zm_transit_dr, there is also CoDMP.exe and CoDSP.exe debug executables (as well as pixprofile).

The best approach I seen was to combine the two builds into one with everything in it (and deleting zm_buried_patch.ff to allow buried loading), but as a reference I also link the original folders.

Patches were needed to load DLC5 maps (gscs VM error nopped out and patching sound banks) all credits to JTAG for that, they are labeled CoDMP_patched.exe, and default_mp_patched.xex.

But it came with a downside: Selecting most DLC5 maps in menus will lead to a menu error, two solutions about that:

Either devmapping into them either playing with no_sound executables we made.

Thank you very much to Taleb for helping prepare all this for release, and writing the bulk of these release notes and patches.

And a very special thanks to Hinder for ruining my planned release on christmas day by leaking it to his friends early.

Merry christmas!

Trails in the Sky FC's remake, now officially titled "Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter" in English, was announced today to be published by GungHo Online Entertainment in the West and releasing Fall 2025 for PC, Switch, and PS5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd9j_NWZGG8

Nihon Falcom usual publishing partners for these sorts of releases have traditionally been XSEED and then NISA, so this is a bit of a departure.

The remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is real and could arrive as early as 2025, according to insider eXtas1stv

He speculates it could be revealed at The Xbox Direct in January:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzBn7eW6JJs&feature=youtu.be

According to previous rumors, the game is being developed by Virtuos studio, will use the Unreal Engine 5 and will arrive for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC.

https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/18/24324483/nintendo-switch-2-leak-reddit-next-handheld

A senior editor at The Verge spoke with /u/NextHandheld, saw their proof, and found it convincing enough to publish a story about it.

I am now largely convinced that NextHandheld is legit.

In particular, I've seen two photos of a possible Nintendo Switch 2 dock, and one photo of the inside of a possible Switch 2 controller rail, covered in certification logos and with copper contacts exposed, which also shows its metal kickstand hinge open at an angle. Notably, the dock was not included in the 3D scan that's circulating among case manufacturers.

The photo I saw of a joystick rail region contains no rail: it's just a long, rounded, hollow area, with a 13-pin connector that sticks out so it can slot into the Joy-Con. NextHandheld says there's a physical magnetic click when you attach them, and that you'll press a much larger button on the controller, one that's physically connected to a magnet, to release.

This stands in contrast to yesterday's thread about /u/Spheromancer, who found the proof less convincing: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1hgikth/uspheromancer_mod_for_this_very_sub_has_seen_some/

https://insider-gaming.com/skull-and-bones-year-2/

That’s according to sources who have knowledge of the plans for the pirate action-adventure game.

Year 2 Season 1 is set to kick off sometime early next year with brand-new PvP gamemodes, places of interest (POIs), new world tiers, and more.

It’s also understood that Ubisoft is exploring more premium crossover events, with one source saying that one idea includes a Black Flag crossover event around the time of the release of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake (codenamed Obsidian). But whether or not that comes to fruition remains to be seen.

The news that Skull and Bones will be having Year 2 of content might surprise some, as the publisher recently canceled XDefiant, its free-to-play offering that saw nearly 300 people lose their jobs.

However, sources tell me that Ubisoft is fully committed to continuing the game’s support and that the player numbers “might surprise people.” Still, Insider Gaming could not verify the game’s current player count statistics. The game is currently slashed from its £49.99 price tag to just £20.00 on the Ubisoft store page, with the publisher also offering a 6-hour free demo for those on PC should you wish to try.

A new build of FREE RADICAL'S cancelled 2008 game STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT III for Nintendo Wii has recently been discovered by the FREE RADICAL ARCHIVE

The build is dated just over 1 week prior to the game's cancellation. This is potentially the last Wii build of the game ever tested. The following is a trailer recreating the PC game trailer that was created by FREE RADICAL in November 2008.

Take this with the biggest grain of salt you could imagine but someone made a pretty interesting twitter thread on why Wind Waker may be in the works (if you've been interested in leaks/rumors for a while you'd know Grubb and Nate mentioned them a few times before as being done with Ninty sitting on them)

I'll copy and paste it here: by user @pikzel08

I will sound extremely delusional, but I genuinely think a Wind Waker port for Switch exists because of an unexpected place: Nintendo of Korea

[a thread 🧵]

first an important context: Wind Waker NEVER had an official korean translation. Although it was released in S. Korea, even though they translated the manual and the packaging, the game itself… was in English 🤡

https://imgur.com/a/BAoLT7V

It was only from 2006 when Nintendo established a subsidiary in Korea that they finally decided to translate Zelda games in Korean, and this has been true since Phantom Hourglass (except Spirit tracks????)

https://imgur.com/a/h2Hb8wX

the Wii U however was never released in Korea, so they once again missed out on a Korean translation of Wind Waker 😔

since the release of the Switch however, any Zelda games have been consistently translated officially in Korea, including Hyrule Warriors, which was originally a Wii U game!

https://imgur.com/a/Bv9L1aZ

why is this relevant?? Because of Nintendo of Korea’s own website showing a timeline of all Zelda games, but crucially games that had a korean translation used their Korean names, those who didn't used English

with one major exception: the Wind Waker https://web.archive.org/web30723160752/https://www.nintendo.co.kr/character/zelda/history/index.html (link seems to be down for some reason)

https://imgur.com/a/DOtKC5v

this “mistake” has been corrected, since they now show the English name 🤔

https://imgur.com/a/3ucW77N

this isn’t a one-off either as this panel from an official Zelda fan event for Echoes of Wisdom shows the same “mistake”https://ninten-switch.com/zelda-series-taiken-event-2024-12-in-korea

https://imgur.com/a/nZCM0lT

this could suggest two things:

• they did start translating in Korean Wind waker for Wii U, but it was never released
• OR there IS in fact a Nintendo Switch port of Wind Waker because they’ve been consistently translating games in Korean, and this accidentally slipped through

or this is all a massive stretch, I have completely lost it and this was all just a simple mistake from Nintendo

but at least you learnt a bit more about Zelda in Korea! 👀

END OF THREAD

As another twitter account @miketendo64 mentioned, Phantom Hourglass also shows up as translated here and that game is a direct sequel to WW

https://imgur.com/a/vHpt4tD

This is all probably pure and elemental Copium but I found it pretty interesting, if any Zelda fans from Korea could give more insight that'd be great.

Twitter user Radec (@realradec) has shown a pair of screenshots alleged to be from an upcoming cosmetics DLC pack for Helldivers 2 that will let you put on the gas masks and red lenses of the Helghast, the antagonistic space Nazis of Guerrilla Games' Killzone series:

https://x.com/realradec/status/18676594675

The images were first posted to Twitter by user Iron_S1ghts which have since been taken down by Sony themselves, suggesting that this is very much the real deal. The two sets depicted in the images appear to be modeled after the basic Helghast trooper and sniper gear, and will allegedly grant resistances to fire, acidity, gas and electric damage.

According to Push Square (PlayStation-oriented news site) and paraphrasing the now-deleted Iron_S1ghts posts, the Killzone crossover is set to debut alongside a future Righteous Revenents Warbond.

On December 15th 2024, 2 days before the Nintendo Insider SamusHunter2 mentioned a possible Switch 2 reveal before around mid January of next year.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/663150093066698762/1318733795846787172/IMG_3913.png?ex=6763660d&is=6762148d&hm=6f7e5448dac679ba4418e66b84298be52975016670fe5f0b9a7c87ec618e7062&

The infamous insider MoistyCharlie on the GTA 6 Discord server mentioned a reveal date for Switch 2 and stated the initial reveal was delayed due to supply chain issues.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/663150093066698762/1318729193118236682/IMG_3911.png?ex=676361c4&is=67621044&hm=2762190f90efdfd9e212f8005c3198fab6fe57be188726ce78b33e3f79296d37&

MoistyCharlie has previously accurately leaked the reveal date of PS5 Pro and the announcement of Nintendo Alarmo * he later claimed all he heard was new Nintendo hardware getting announced and not specifically Switch 2. In hindsight we now know that hardware was Alarmo * still has a somewhat questionable reliability and is yet to clearly state what his connections to the industry are.

Below is a compilation of his previous leaks / statements:

It should be noted that the “Switch 2 comes in 2 SKUs” leak has been confirmed in a Q&A with an individual that got his hands on a retail Switch 2 over at r/nintendoswitch2

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/s/7fpLbtyLAm

u/nexthandheld has recently cited January 11th as the reveal date. Notably this citation happened several days after MoistyCharlie’s initial reveal date leak

First, just wish to make this more aware, is it alright if i keep this post up u/Spheromancer ?

"Ok I'll use this to reply to. I have seen the images going around, I will say that it is nowhere near enough to verify if anything is real or not, so the claims that this stuff is real should definitely have never been made by the mods of the other sub in my opinion. It's just pictures of the "dock". I can say that to me it looks like legitimate hardware severely cropped to hide the background of wherever this person was in, according to himself. There's obviously no telling if it's actually the Switch 2 or just some random dock looking hardware, though. The Nintendo fanboy in me wants to believe its real but there is just no way of knowing what the heck it is over 2 photos.

I also was able to get the details to one of my Nintendo sources and they don't seem to think it's real at all. So for now, it's more than likely nothing. I'm working with the guy to see if we can get more though, he says he has more pictures. I promised I would not share the images and I wont, he seems very paranoid over the topic but I'm unsure why waiting until Christmas would change anything for him at this point "

" Its definitely a dock, theres a slot for the console or whatever in the middle. & the images are just the dock, theres nothing inside it.

Also yes there is a Switch 2 logo, its almost exactly this that was going around but the font is different and more nintendo-y if that makes any sense. Not sure if the 2 and the switch logo actually line up correctly at the bottom or not though which just made me even more skeptical "

So this could all be fake, if so, what a mess.
