Mod edit: Can't be bothered posting the source, we can't be bothered keeping the thread open.











Tomb Raider is full steam ahead, Perfect Dark I've heard has hit a roadbump or two. You'll see the former before the latter.
I would indeed expect at least a year between them
Tomb Raider has actually been in development for a lot longer than people know, though it did restart when they shifted from Foundation to UE5. It's been in the cards for a while now.

Not going to Post the source but dude is legit.

Perfect Dark 2026 or 2027 then, fighting with Fable for worst development cycle of recent memory 😭🤣

If anybody said 2026-2027 for Perfect Dark in 2020 when it was shown, nobody would have believed them. But this timeline makes sense now.

Tomb Raider isn't releasing this year. It's either 2024 or 2025.

Put 1-2 years after that for Perfect Dark, and it's 2026 or 2027. What the hell! We'd be staring at next-gen consoles by then.

Why not post the source? By not posting the source, it makes it seem like you are just posting this to rile people up.

Edit: So source was posted and if it is to be believed, MS is in shambles. I don't know how a company of their stature can mismanage so many IPs. Halo was their biggest and what Xbox is known for but now it is becoming irrelevant. They are killing Halo and imo have killed off Gears, so what big IP do they actually have now?

Ugh. Studio was founded in 2018. It's really gonna need 7 years to make a game?

I defend them a lot but MS really are becoming a joke.

Very smart decision to fire employees from The Coalition then…

This shouldn't be allowed, imo.

No offense intended Ronin_7 Ronin_7 , and I can understand wanting to share some news, but this place is full of wildly ill informed console war bullshit when people are declaring their sources. Things will get even worse if this is allowed to become the standard.

Good to hear that Tomb Raider is full steam ahead at least. Hoping for a new trilogy of quality adventures from Miss Croft. Sucks to hear about Perfect Dark but it seems like XGS is in complete turmoil going from all the reports that are popping off left and right.

Quick, somebody give Phil an award!
FYI -- Phil Spencer did just win one more award earlier this week.


"Phil isn’t just an executive in games, he is a gamer himself and because of that he knows exactly what fans want when it comes to the Xbox brand."

I guess it’s up to MS to actually do more to show they’re making progress on these titles. These long periods of silence don’t help.

Perfectly valid to keep big announcements for showcases, but they really should be providing release windows for most of their announced titles.

Back to using discredited 4chan rumors as a source, eh?
The purples are taking it with credibility, and it’s not like MS run a tight ship in terms of leaks. Especially when it comes to the health of their studios. Personally think it’s time for a change in terms of Matt Booty and whatever the senior leadership team looks like. They just can’t deliver. I worry that their aura will rub off on companies like Double Fine and Bethesda if things aren’t rectified now.

Amen brother. I’d take a deep dive even if it’s just a bit of Alpha footage with the studio heads talking candidly about progress even if that means they say it’s a 2025 release window - it’s just maddening to think these games could come at any time from 2024-2027 and to not know anything about them.
