Jeff Grubb

Industry insider Jeff Grubb once again reaffirms his claim that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is launching this year. This is despite recent information from EA indicating that it could be with us as late as March 2025, sparking fears that we're still almost a year away from the long-awaited sequel.

Speculation of a second game in production at Ghost of Tsushima studio Sucker Punch Productions tied to the late Sly Cooper series has been doing the rounds this weekend, but none of it's actually true. Alongside a presumed follow-up to the developer's samurai hit, Jeff Grubb of Giant Bomb suggested the team may have another title in the works, though it wasn't based on discussions with sources; it was simply a «pie in the sky» proposal.

Today, alongside its financial report, Sony announced a new leadership structure for its PlayStation division (Sony Interactive Entertainment). Following the departure of Jim Ryan, they had been looking for a new Chief Executive Officer; as it turns out, they found two.

With the Xbox Games Showcase less than a month away, rumors circulated about what could appear. Gears 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War are favorites, but The Initiative’s Perfect Dark may be another. After reports from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb about it being in “rough shape,” insider Nate the Hate said it could make an appearance.

The wait for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf has been extremely long for fans, but it sounds like the end of the line is finally in sight, and it might have been worth it.

BioWare has had a rough few years. Following the critical and commercial success of Dragon Age: Inquisition, the studio moved on to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, two games that abandoned the tenets of previous BioWare titles under mounting publisher pressure.

Following Xbox's decision to close down three studios (Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, and Alpha Dog Games) and roll Roundhouse Studios into ZeniMax Online, Jeff Grubb's rumor that the Perfect Dark reboot was in rough waters made things look even more dire for Xbox fans.

It's been a rough week for Xbox following multiple studio closures decided by Microsoft and the severe blowback from fans and fellow developers alike, not to mention reports of Perfect Dark having a rough time, but a new rumor suggests State of Decay 3, at least, might be coming along well.

With Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut due to release on May 16th for PC, one has to wonder about Sony’s next PC port of an established PlayStation title. Though not official, noted leaker billbil-kun reported on Dealabs that it’s Sony Santa Monica’s God of War Ragnarok.

Xbox‘s upcoming Perfect Dark reboot is reportedly facing challenges, and is in “a very rough state.”

The Xbox Games Showcase and Summer Game Fest will return in June, but in the meantime, Sony is allegedly hosting a new PlayStation Showcase this month. The company hasn’t confirmed the same, but Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb recently reported that it’s still coming.

Microsoft has been catching flak after the closure of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, Roundhouse Studios and Alpha Dog Studios. While Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty assured employees of upcoming Bethesda releases in an internal email, its other projects are an entirely different matter. The Initiative’s Perfect Dark, announced in December 2020, is a good example.

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, the next entry in the series of beloved dating sims with rpgs crudely affixed with Blu Tack to their walls, is set to arrive by the end of March next year. That’s according to an updated product slate released as part of a recent quarterly earnings report, as spotted by VGC and given the Jeff Grubb seal of approval.

Electronic Arts has revealed that it is planning on releasing two currently-unannounced titles before the end of the current fiscal year. For context, the fiscal year is set to end on March 31, 2025. As caught by VideoGamesChronicle, the company made the announcement through an update to its product release slate.

The rumored planned PlayStation Showcase is still taking place this month, according to reputable journalist and insider Jeff Grubb.

Four years ago, Microsoft announced that it was working on a Perfect Dark reboot, finally bringing the cult classic FPS to modern audiences. A year later, it revealed that it was partnering with Crystal Dynamics on the project, but in 2022, the studio lost nearly half of its staff--including senior writers, the technical director, and the lead gameplay engineer to name a few. Things looked bleak, but two years on, it's reportedly not gotten any better.

While fans eagerly await some kind of news on Bioware's upcoming , the game's release window may have finally been confirmed. The highly-anticipated RPG, which was announced all the way back in 2018, has largely been missing from action over the last six years as the developer has yet to offer any substantial updates on the title and its production. Bioware may still be keeping quiet when it comes to sharing details on the project, but publisher EA may have suggested that an official reveal could be coming very soon.

Xbox fans and some employees were blindsided earlier this morning when Microsoft announced a number of their studios were being shuttered, including Arkane Austin (Prey, Redfall), Tango Gameworks (The Evil Within, Hi-Fi Rush), Alpha Dog Games, and Roundhouse Studios. In the hours since then, additional rumors and details about what’s going on behind the scenes with some Xbox teams have emerged.

Electronic Arts has released its Q4 2024 earnings, and overall, it was a solid 12 months for the company. Overall, EA has brought in revenue or $7.43 billion, up 1 percent over FY2023, with both EA Sports FC 24 and Madden NFL 24 having record-setting years in terms of revenue generated (Madden was the best-selling entry in the series since the early 2000s).

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf appears to be the next big title from developer BioWare and publisher EA, though we've heard very little official information about the title ever since its name was revealed. Things have been heating up in recent months though, with BioWare promising more news about the title this summer, and now EA seems to have all but confirmed the title will be launching within the next 12 months.

News regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 has been agonizingly thin on the ground as of late, but Nintendo finally gave us an official update earlier today by announcing that the console will be revealed within the current fiscal year. That's led to renewed excitement about the system, and Nintendo insider TvPH has used that excitement to get word out about the features that the console will have.

Electronic Arts has confirmed plans to release two unannounced titles during its current fiscal year ending on March 31, 2025.

Back when the Fallout show first hit our TV screens, you couldn't move online due to the sheer number of New Vegas fans that had made it halfway through the show before announcing that it had somehow disrespected the game by making changes to the lore. Many claimed that it had somehow removed New Vegas from Fallout canon (it didn't) and that Todd Howard was secretly the mastermind behind the change, all in an effort to get back at developer Obsidian Entertainment for making a good Fallout game.

We've reported throughout the entire month that the excellent Fallout TV show (already renewed for a second season) spurred renewed interest in the whole franchise, with previous games clawing their way back to the weekly sales chart and setting new concurrency records.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno announced some good news for fans anticipating the Silent Hill 2 remake, stating a release date will be announced soon. There have been a number of rumors surrounding Silent Hill 2, with gamers being given possible release windows of Bloober Team's upcoming classic Konami horror game remake. Many of them have stated that Silent Hill 2 will likely be released sometime this year, which may appear to be the case if Babieno is to be believed.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno has provided an update on Silent Hill 2 in an IR/conference following the group’s consolidated annual report for 2023 (via MauroNL on Twitter). He noted that the team is “in the final stages of work” on the remake, and “We expect that a release date and platforms on which the game will appear will be revealed soon.”

In case you'd forgotten, EA and its studio Cliffhanger Games is working on a Black Panther game. The announcement was one of those that's more of a recruitment drive than anything else, so it's likely still years away from release. In fact, the team is still growing; interestingly, one recent job opening confirms the game's structure will be that of an open world title.

A new rumor suggests that a remake of the classic PS1 title MediEvil 2 will debut at the speculated PlayStation Showcase in May. The report originates from Orangee, a supposed playtester who previously leaked details about upcoming Gravity Rush projects, and alleges that the game is being handled by the same team who shipped the 2019 MediEvil remake.

A Mafia series announcement is on the horizon, a well-known leaker has claimed. The purported bit of upcoming news is plausibly related to the fourth mainline Mafia game.

The fate of a potential remake may be in doubt as its team has moved on to a new project. 2023's remake was well-received upon its release for being extremely faithful to the original and served as a great new starting point for newcomers while offering some new surprises for fans of the 2008 original.

Motive Studios’ Dead Space remake has caused a stir recently after Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb reported that a remake for the second game was shelved. Though only in the pre-production phase, Grubb noted that a Dead Space 2 remake wasn’t happening due to lackluster sales of the first game. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has since weighed in, noting in a new report that the series is on ice again.

After Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb reported that a Dead Space 2 remake was in the works, albeit in the pre-production phase, publisher Electronic Arts has spoken against the same. A spokesperson told IGN, “We don’t normally comment on rumors, but there is no validity to this story.”

Following the news that EA Motive's team responsible for last year's Dead Space remake would work on the Battlefield franchise going forward (alongside the previously announced Iron Man game), fans of the horror franchise were left wondering whether a Dead Space 2 remake would still happen.

Developers at Dead Space remake creators EA Motive were pushing to make a "new entry" in the sci-fi horror series before EA shelved it last year, according to the latest in a recent outbreak of Dead Spacey rumours and revelations that have spread through the bulkheads of the internet, coating everybody's devices with necrotic slime.

Earlier today, it was claimed that a remake of Dead Space 2 was in development at publisher Electronic Arts, but had been shelved indefinitely due to the original game's poor sales. Reputable industry insider Jeff Grubb claimed that the title was in the "concept" phase, before EA Motive were taken off the project to work on a new Battlefield and Iron Man title.

Plans for a Dead Space 2 remake have reportedly been shelved after the first game failed to deliver commercially.

Yesterday, it was announced that Motive Studios would work on the Battlefield franchise. While the development of Marvel’s Iron Man continues, it’s also building a new team to focus purely on EA’s flagship first-person shooter franchise. Of course, this begged the question – what about the follow-up to the Dead Space remake launched last year?

Update: EA have now denied Grubb's claims that the Dead Space 2 remake was in development before being effectively cancelled, telling IGN: "We don't normally comment on rumors but there is no validity to this story." That report adds that the sequel wasn't considered for development to begin with, despite the first remake having performed well in EA's eyes, according to a source.

The rumored Dead Space 2 remake has been canceled, an established industry insider has claimed. The project has reportedly been shelved over disappointing sales of the first Dead Space remake.

EA has denied reports that a Dead Space 2 remake was in development before being canceled, with a spokesperson telling IGN, "We don't normally comment on rumors but there is no validity to this story."

A reliable gaming insider has claimed that a remake of Dead Space 2 was cancelled (or at least shelved) by EA due to the disappointing sales numbers of the first game's remake.

Despite the original Dead Space getting the remake treatment, the same isn't happening for its sequel, at least not now.

Last year, the Motive Studios remake of the 2008 game Dead Space saw rave reviews for its improvements to the original, smooth sound design, and otherworldly graphics. Despite this, sales were slow, and this has led EA and Motive to shelve work on Dead Space 2.

A new rumor has propped up about the anticipated Gears of War 6.

Microsoft is reportedly planning to unveil new Gears of War and Call of Duty games at its traditional Xbox summer showcase.

While Microsoft has plenty of first-party titles in the works, one of its most prominent, Gears of War, hasn’t been mentioned for some time. However, roughly five years after the launch of Gear 5, it’s allegedly set to reveal Gears 6 this Summer per Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb (with The Verge’s Tom Warren affirming the same).

The upcoming remake of may still be in development but a recent report suggests it may launch on more consoles than previously expected. Following the announcement that Bioware's classic RPG set in a galaxy far, far away would be remade for modern audiences, the community was disappointed to learn that it would be released as a PlayStation 5 console exclusive and would later make the jump to PC. Despite this initially disheartening news, Xbox Series X|S owners may not need to fear any longer.

A reliable gaming insider has claimed that PlayStation plans to release a new Astro Bot game this year alongside several other "smaller" first-party titles.

The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake may end up being a day-one release on Xbox consoles. That possibility has been suggested by a newly emerged rumor from a reputable industry insider who offered some new insights into Sony's current views on the KOTOR reimagining project.

Jeff Grubb has some interesting new rumors about the Knights of the Old Republic remake.

Sony fans aren’t exactly in a great place this year. The current head of PlayStation, Hiroki Totoki, flat out confirmed that they don’t have any big scale first party AAAs scheduled to release for all of this financial year, and we are at month one of that period.

Sony likes to put on major State of Play livestreams and host its PlayStation Showcase during the month of May, and it appears the company is gearing up to do so once again in 2024. Giant Bomb journalist Jeff Grubb reports he's heard «a bunch of times» from sources that Sony is planning an event for May, and it sounds more like another big PlayStation Showcase rather than a more subdued State of Play.

Reports from some familiar faces suggest that Sony still has some «smaller» PS5 exclusives set for the tail end of 2024. Insiders and various industry types agree that they'll likely be seen at next month's rumoured PlayStation event. The consensus seems to be that the long-awaited Silent Hill 2 remake will be one, and the rumoured standalone Astro Bot game will be another.

Five years after the release of the last game in the franchise, Gears 6 still isn't official, but that may change soon, according to new rumors.

It's been almost five years since the release of Gears 5, with only minor development updates and rumors of PlayStation ports to remind people the series is still alive. Given the way the game actually ends, it would have been surprising if we never actually got one, and it appears as though Xbox is getting ready to drop all the secrecy and give us a good look at the future of the Gears of War franchise this summer.

You'd struggle to find a game right now more up in the air than the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that was first announced back in 2021, a project that has swapped developers multiple times since then and very few official updates on whether it will actually release at all. With all that uncertainty, fans no longer have confidence that it will even be a good game if it sees the light of day, and PlayStation maker Sony is apparently of the same mind.

Development on Gears 6 has been ongoing for a while now, and with reports having claimed last year that developer The Coalition had cancelled two unannounced projects in order to focus on its flagship third-person shooter, many are beginning to wonder when it’ll be officially announced, especially with Gears 5 approaching its fifth anniversary.

Gears of War is a franchise that many people have been wanting to have another game – Gears of War 6. Reportedly, it is rumored that the first word of Gears Of War 6 could be released this summer. In the middle of a new episode of Kinda Funny Xcast, the host whose name is Parris Lilly made a prediction that they think the Gears 6 announcement would come in the summer.

The first news on Gears of War 6 may be coming this summer, according to new claims.

Journalist Jeff Grubb recently claimed that Konami and Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake is going to be showcased at an as-yet-unannounced PlayStation event in May, and another leaker is now corroborating that.

Sony said earlier this year that it wouldn’t be releasing any new instalments in existing major franchises until at least April 2025, and though that certainly sparked some concern in the PlayStation fanbase, it seems the company does have other, smaller things in store to make up for the lack of its typical flagship releases.

The PlayStation Showcase is called the State of Play and it showcases first party Sony games and other AAA games coming to the PS5, PSVR2, and other PlayStation consoles as well as tech. The last State of Play was hosted just a few months ago, in January, showing off some new things for games like Death Stranding 2, Stellar Blade, Until Dawn, and some others. However, it seems Sony is getting prepared to host yet another one.

Sony announced a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic three years ago during the 2021 PlayStation Showcase. Since then, the trailer was delisted, it was indefinitely delayed, and it changed developers. Fears of it being cancelled have been mounting as both Disney and Embracer remain quiet, but developer Saber Interactive insists that it's still in the works and only yesterday revealed that the project is "alive and well".

Saber Interactive has confirmed that they are still working on the remake of Knights of the Old Republic.

Sony is planning a new PlayStation Showcase for next month, according to known insider Jeff Grubb.

Sony is reportedly planning to hold a PlayStation product showcase next month.

We got out first look at Silent Hill 2’s remake since its announcement with a new trailer at a State of Play event earlier this year, and though there were many who weren’t pleased with how the trailer turned out (including the game’s own developer), it looks like Konami is going to take another crack at showcasing the survival horror remake.

Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida has said that the reason for many references to Final Fantasy 9 in the upcoming expansion is a “secret”.

The apparent specs for the as-yet unannounced PlayStation 5 Pro console have been shared online.

At a recent technology conference, EA's CEO stated that Apex Legends will begin to «expand beyond the traditional battle royale universe» within the next year. Apex Legends' future strategy might remind fans of another popular game that began as a battle royale.

So, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf — the BioWare game that's been developed, scrapped, developed again, maybe scrapped again, and then teased for about half a decade, could finally release before the year is out. That's according to in-the-know Game Mess host Jeff Grubb (via Eurogamer), who says "[Dreadwolf] will be released this year, last I heard". He continues: «They're pretty confident about that. Doesn't mean it's a guarantee – could slip – but right now, internally, they expect to release it later this year.»

Respawn Entertainment's next game is reportedly now in the prototype phase and is set in the Titanfall universe.

Respawn Entertainment is supposedly working on a game that is set in the Titanfall universe. This rumor surfaced after the studio's parent company, Electronic Arts, pulled the plug on a Star Wars first-person shooter.

A small team within Respawn are making a fresh game set in the Titanfall universe, it's been reported — but this project won't be Titanfall 3.

Amidst EA’s recent mass layoffs, it was confirmed that Respawn Entertainment’s single player Star Wars FPS had been cancelled. Work continues, of course, on Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi, and according to journalist Jeff Grubb, a new game set in the Titanfall universe is also in the very early stages of production.

Respawn Entertainment's debut IP was Titanfall. The success of that franchise led Electronic Arts to purchase Respawn in November 2017. However, the only new game released in that universe after the acquisition is the Battle Royale Apex Legends, which is obviously quite far from Titanfall's original target audience.

Respawn Entertainment is reportedly working on a new game set in the Titanfall universe.

EA and Bioware are reportedly confident that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will be released this year.
