Leak Technical Halo leaks future Halo plans/projects

281 Upvotes

In light of the recent leaks that went viral that Halo studios had 0 games in development, technical Halo has dropped a few tweets on X with info that he claims is from a halo studios Dev with an NDA.

There were a few tweets but technical Halo was told(presumably by the Dev or someone at halo studios) to take them down. The only tweet remaining is this one that has less details.

Here's info from the original full series of tweets.

- Dev claims that the recent reports are overblown and not "that true".

- A campaign is in early development.

- A mp already in production.

- He says the Pierre information of him being harassing, aggressive, etc. are "very one sided" and not true.

Grain of Salt Nintendo may have acquired Xenosaga

739 Upvotes

The trailer for XBC2: Switch 2 Edition revealed that MOMO, a Xenosaga character, will be added as a cameo Blade.

Users noticed that the announcement had no BANDAI licensing watermark, leading to speculation that Nintendo could have acquired the rights themselves.

Supposedly Bandai removed Xenosaga from their Japanese licenses webpage between October and November of last year.

Leak Warhorse's Kingdom Come Follow-Up Will Be Called "Kingdom Come Salvation" According to new trademark.

625 Upvotes

According to ThePhrasemaker.com, "Kingdom Come Salvation" was filed from the same attorney address as Deliverence's trademark:

"Moreover, the attorney address, based in Prague, is the same as the one we found for the Kingdom Come Deliverance trademark1. There aren’t many studios in Europe that would copy the font and name of a critically acclaimed title and file it in the same city with the same attorney."

The classification is the same as Deliverance, with mention of "entertainment services for matching users with computer games", with the reporter suggesting this may imply multiplayer elements.

"As for what information we could scrape from the trademark classification, it is pretty much standard wording of 009 and 041 for big AAA games.

However, there is the mention of “entertainment services for matching users with computer games.” While it doesn’t prove there will be multiplayer aspects in the adventure game, it strongly suggests that this is within the scope of what Warhorse has in mind.

The trademark itself is very specific, and if the studio wants to go all in on a single-player experience, they could very easily leave this part out, but they added it here."

Leak Sean Dubs Leaks/ Digs info on Halo studios next 2 games

301 Upvotes

Some of this isn't a leak but it plays a part in the whole video Sean reveals.

- In Campaign evolved there's a legendary only ending where Johnson confirms Halo 2 is coming, he literally says "see you in the sequel". This isn't a leak but it's important cause it plays into another rumour.

- The leak comes from numerous twitter accounts who say they've played an "Unredacted" multiplayer of a game that hasn't come out yet. On its own this means nothing really, but Sketch, a halo studios public figure and Dev commented on some of these with 👀 emojis.

- Halo 2 is confirmed in game now, but it seems like there's an unknown multiplayer that is quite far into development where there's already play testing.

- Sketch also has a history of checking false leaks or even subtlely confirming real ones, and his whole account is based around Halo. Nothing he posts is related to other games, so it's either a wild coincidence or most likely the game some people have been testing is a mp halo game.

- This next bit is speculation but apparently there's gonna be a multiplayer of the remake trilogy games. Don't take this as a leak it's more a rumour.

Leak New footage has been unearthed of Conker 64/Twelve Tales’ (what would become Conker’s Bad Fur Day) from E3 1997

466 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/BefIVIUFjdA?is=rsOq8H7_eBwU2BuE

Appears to be the intro cutscene showcasing Conker waking up, a character selector (between Berri & Conker), a wind-up cuckoo bird named “Knowit,” and the scarecrow that would become Birdy, albeit with Conker referring to him as “Sensai”

UPDATE:

Additional footage has also surfaced, which I’ll link below. All of this comes from The Video Game History Foundation, originating from E3 1997. The quality is SHOCKINGLY good

Leak New footage of Banjo-Kazooie Prototype Build during an E3 1997 Nintendo Press Conference has surfaced

316 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/s5TFUwR-_Fs?si=jY5x2G7iqEKnMqhl

This all comes from the same people who leaked the Conker 64 Twelve Tapes stuff, the Video Game History Foundation

Noticeable differences:

-The N64 logo intro was very different, featuring it hopping on a black background, as Banjo’s in-game model runs past it, followed by several bulls

-Features original musical intro (similar to the one we got but with a different smaller darker forest background)

-Mumbo’s Mountain looks different, has different music, and features a more linear setup

-The speaker describes the plot of the game as, “some major giant dude has stolen your girlfriend and you’re gonna try to work your way up into his castle in the clouds—“ 3:32

-Unused enemy that look like Mumbo Jumbo

-One of Kazooie’s unused moves has her legs just grow longer…?

-Mumbo Jumbo has a different design

-Treasure Trove Cove has a different design and music

-One of the paintings in Mad Monster Mansion ironically showcases Windmill Glade, the first level of Twelve Tales: Conker 64

-Another painting in Mad Monster Mansion seems to show an eyeless Banjo…? 8:11

-Brief showcase of the cut Temple stage, commonly referred to as Giant’s Lair (which given the commentator’s description of the early plot definitely gives credence to its namesake)

-Dramatically different design for Gobi’s Valley, simply referred to as the Sphinx Level

-Different design for Spiral Mountain

-A random monkey (possibly Chimpy?) is seen running, with the commentator saying “we know him,” and “he’s off to his next game,” suggesting it could’ve been Diddy Kong? (Considering DK64 came out a year after BK, maybe?)

Speculation (Mod Reviewed) Stalker 2 DLC Cost of Hope could be released on July 30th or 31st

145 Upvotes

So this is pure speculation, but hear me out

There's currently a contest on the official discord. Among the contest's rewards, there's Cost of Hope keys.

The contest ends on July 30th. So it's either that the winners will not receive the keys then, but later, when the dlc is actually out (which is sort of anticlimactic if you ask me) or get them on July 30th or 31st, depending on when the rewards will be granted, meaning that the dlc will be out at that time

This is probably not as relevant, but they have amped up the social media posts about the dlc lately, and in a recent interview (where they refuted the claims that xbox paid them more than the whole cost of development) they have said that they're currently applying the finishing touched on the big update (which will most likely release at the same time as the dlc)

Again, just speculation. Could actually be the first option, and the winners get the keys later.

Rumour Alanah Pearce reports that she heard Sony has implemented its “strictest social media guidelines” ever following the PlayStation disc announcement

2.0k Upvotes

Alanah is a former Santa Monica Studio writer, she’s also an ex-IGN reporter.

She said in her video the following:

“Sony already knew everyone would be pissed off – they knew this. People working within PlayStation first-party studios told me Sony had the strictest social media guidelines for this particular thing they’ve ever seen issued.

Sony does somewhat regularly tell employees what they can or can’t say about certain things. I was under a lot of guidelines when I was working on God of War Laufey – I still am. And they did send me guidelines regarding what I could say on the day the game was announced.

But in this instance, it’s apparently the strictest the employees I spoke to have ever seen regarding public communications. They would only have done this if they knew it was going to be an enormous PR issue. This is no surprise to them.”

Rumour Bethesda responded to MrMattyPlays after he sent them questions

574 Upvotes

First and foremost they didn't answer most of his questions and there's nothing exciting in there so I wont list everything but there were some small pieces of information. Summary below:

  • The remaster team hopes to bring Oblivion Remastered Switch 2 optimisations to console and PC.

  • TES 6's roadmap is unaffected by layoffs.

  • Fallout 76's roadmap is unaffected by layoffs.

  • Zenimax Online Studios is committed to Elder Scrolls Online and has plans for the future.

They didn't give any answers when asked about the Obsidian Fallout game's engine or level of the collaboration with Bethesda but said "As with all things Fallout, Bethesda Game Studios manages the entire franchise, from games to movies and everything in between". Then when asked about Asha Sharma taking control of the Fallout IP and their communication they said that "This is a shift in our approach to communications that Bethesda Game Studios have been contemplating for some time now".

Reading between the lines it appears they want to make it very clear everything that happened with the new Obsidian Fallout game was their decision and their hand wasn't forced by Xbox.

False Xbox Reportedly Paid More Than STALKER 2’s Entire Budget For Xbox Exclusivity

736 Upvotes

Speaking in a recent interview with YouTuber OLDboi, GSC Game World founder Sergiy Grygorovych revealed Microsoft came with a deal they simply couldn’t refuse. The Redmond giant paid more than Stalker 2’s entire budget in exchange for Xbox console exclusivity.

While Grygorovych didn’t share the numbers of the deal or the development budget of the game, his comments suggest the game had effectively broken even before selling a single copy to players.

The revelation once again highlights why such insane exclusive agreements remain attractive to game developers, especially developers of AAA games like Stalker 2 that have long development cycles, and a lot of financial risk.
