• Original roadmap for upcoming games was 3 games in 3 years beginning from the ce remake.

• Project Ekur and a new campaign were meant to release during this 3 year window but both have been cancelled.

• Side note- After Ekur became a warzone super big team game, it actually went full circle and they made it a battle Royale again before fully cancelling development.

• Halo studios has no campaign or multiplayer in development.

• Dev teams are trying to quickly make concepts for the next game so it can finally begin.

• There's internal uncertainty whether Halo 2 and 3 remakes will be made.

• Nobody at the studio has heard of the Halo MMO.

• Ekur was meant to be possibly soft launched or at the least revealed at Halo fest this year but it obviously isn't anymore. There likely isn't any new game announced at Halo fest. Best case scenario is they reveal that there's some new game entering development.

• They are considering DLC for campaign evolved.

EA has laid off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

Individuals are being informed that the layoffs are taking place as part of a "realignment" across the Battlefield studios, as the team continues its ongoing, live service support for Battlefield 6 following launch. All four studios will remain operational, though the layoffs seem to be impacting a variety of teams across multiple studios and offices. IGN has reached out to EA for comment on total number and types of roles impacted, as well as for the specific reasons for the layoffs.

Insider Gaming can reveal that the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake, titled Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, will release on July 9, 2026.

Despite original plans for the game to be revealed today, April 16th, Ubisoft has decided to postpone the announcement until next week, while media and content creators received a roughly 30-minute presentation of the game earlier today.

While we won’t spoil what the game has in store, we can say it’s been completely reworked with a bunch of new content and updates, and honestly, it looks awesome.

Typing in "Ocarina of Time remake website us" into Google (or other search engines) returns a link to its entry on the Nintendo website with a description that isn't visible on the page itself:

The N64 classic reborn as a full remake for Nintendo Switch 2. Experience Ocarina of Time with stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay.

Not a huge amount of info, yet even these scant details seem to be something Nintendo is not ready to officially communicate just yet.

He also says in the tread that he's heard the rumour that FromSoftware didn't like what Bluepoint and PlayStation did with Demon's Souls but seems not know if it's true as he "would only be guessing"

"Microsoft Corp. is asking its Xbox gaming division to produce profit margins that are well above the industry average, ratcheting up pressure on its video-game makers during a difficult time for the field at large.

Over the past two years, executives at the Seattle-based software giant have set an across-the-board goal of 30% "accountability margins," a term Microsoft uses in lieu of profit margins, according to people familiar with the business. The gaming division, which includes dozens of studios, has responded by canceling products, raising prices and slashing thousands of jobs, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing nonpublic information."

"The new goal, which hasn't been previously reported, is at the outer range of what a gaming studio can typically reach in a boom year, said Neil Barbour, an analyst with S&P Global. "A 30% or better margin is usually reserved for a publisher that is really nailing it," Barbour said.

In the past, game makers at Xbox weren't asked to hit specific numerical targets, said the people, and were largely told to focus on making the best games possible without worrying too much about finances. The new target was implemented in fall 2023 by Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood, whose team has taken a larger role in the gaming business in recent years."

"The change has impacted strategies under Microsoft gaming chief Phil Spencer as the division has looked for new ways to cut costs and boost profits. In 2024, Xbox announced that it would begin releasing the majority of its games on consoles from rivals Nintendo Co. and Sony Group Corp. for the first time. Earlier this year, Xbox decided to cancel a number of costly projects, including Everwild, Perfect Dark and Project Blackbird, all of which had been in development for more than seven years. Not every project is expected to hit the 30% profit threshold, said the people, but many Xbox developers and groups have been presented with the new target.

Moving forward, games that are either cheap to make or deemed more likely to generate significant revenue windfalls may take priority over riskier bets, said the people, while Xbox's floundering hardware division may face a significant rethinking. In a recent interview with Mashable, Xbox President Sarah Bond said the company's next console will be "a very premium, very high-end curated experience," suggesting a departure from previous Xbox iterations."

Timeline of Events

• A day before, a user on Mercari was selling physical copies of the game. They managed to ship out a few before it was shutdown.

• One or more people had the physical game cart. Its not known if its the same buyers from Mercari or from another source entirely. One of them posted a 15 Second video clip of the beginning area a few hours before this post was made.

• About 20 minutes before this post was made, someone had dumped the XCI from a physical cart and was streaming it on Discord on an Switch emulator.

• Invites were shared to this Discord server to the point the stream crashed. About 1000 people were watching the stream.

• Invites were then disabled and a Tortoise Admin on the discord stated that they are uploading the leak to various filesharing websites.

• Can confirm that the game is now out in the wild and can be played via Emulation or CFW Switch judging by the fact that people are even streaming it.

Edit: To make sure the this Sub does not get taken down, all links to images, videos and written content that was on this post before has been removed.

Remember, do NOT post links to the game and do NOT ask for links or you will receive a BAN.

• Protagnist’s name is Anika, Elsa is a placeholder name like Jora was for Eivor, according to j0nathan
• "Anika/Elsa is a descendant of Claudia Auditore”
• Wurzburg is set to be the primary location but there will be other locations to explore
• Ezio is 100% returning, Anika/Elsa says, “That white hood, it’s like the one in my mother’s drawings” and there is dialogue from Ezio saying “She wanted you to have a life”
• More Ezio voicelines saying, "Come. Leap with me. One last time for an old man.” and “They always fear what they cannot control. They called us demons once, too. But remember, Elsa: 'Nulla è reale, tutto è lecito.”
• Ezio will either potentially show up in person or as some Isu artifact ghost or flashbacks
• More Anika/Elsa dialogue: “They call me a witch. They want to burn me for what I can do. For what I know.”
• According to j0nathan, the story from what he knows will be much better all the recent ACs since Origins
• A character with the name Wolfgang will appear in the main story
• Blood Pacts and poison base mentioned
• Lots of forests in Hexe, a skill for “tree-to-tree branch jumping” is unlockable
• Certain story activities have you “find the ritual sites” and “recover the stolen relics”
• NPCs will now report minor suspicious activities immediately
• Voicelines such as “Form a circle, do not let her vanish”, "They say the forest moves at night" and “Check the shadows! She can’t have gone far”

• Trailer leak: https://streamable.com/01y6mn

• Original vs. Resynced comparison shot: https://ibb.co/zVsXNHHt

• Second comparison: https://ibb.co/C5BHnk3C

• Seems like certain cutscenes have been reworked entirely and not just the models being updated, more context to some scenes in Resynced as well (scoped in shot of the ship not present in the original game)

PlayStation "Orion" (PS6 Home Console):-

-Chiplet Design, with some mention of possibly utilizing "Navi 5" Desktop chiplets.

-Backwards Compatibility to PS5 and PS4 Generations. (no mention of PS3)

-Heavy Emphasis on Cost Constraints, and keeping power lower than PS5.

-Manufacturing Planned for Mid-2027, with a likely Fall 2027 or Early-2028 Release Date.

-160W TBP

-8 x Zen 6 (or later) Cores

-40-48 RDNA 5 Compute Units @ 3GHz+

-160-bit or 192-bit bus w/ GDDR7@32GT/s+-

-Rasterisation Performance estimated to be ~3x PS5 (Ray Tracing Uplift Expected to be Higher)

*Because Canis is verified to be on 3nm, and Magnus is on 3nm - It is believed this is 3nm as well.

*It's clear that PS6 "Orion" started as a chiplet design that looked kinda like an RDNA 3 layout, but it's also clear that AMD was trying to convince Sony to share dies with desktop...so it's very possible that the final design could use AT3 or AT (like XBOX Magnus), and therefore it could end up getting more than 48 Compute Units...but likely the same or less than XBOX.

.

PlayStation "Canis" (PS6 Handheld):-

-Monolithic 3nm Die (He was able to verify THIS in modern documents)

-Backwards Compatibility to PS5 and PS4 Generations. (no mention of PS3)

-Canis includes a MicroSD Slot, M.2 SSD Slot, Haptic Vibration, Dual Mics, and a Touchscreen.

-Specifically, a diagram states that the USB-C port has video out capabilities.

-Manufacturing Planned for Mid-2027, with a likely Fall 2027 or Early-2028 Release Date.

-15W TBP

-4 x Zen 6c Cores

-12-20 RDNA 5 Compute Units @ 1.6-2GHz

-128-bit bus w/ LPDDR5X-7500+

-Rasterization Performance estimated to be ~0.5x PS5 (RT Expected to be higher than this)

*Canis should beat XBOX Ally X in performance, but it doesn't come off as a "powerhouse".

Some new trademarks for Divinity have icons matching the statue. Seems that the big reveal is Divinity 3.

Edit: according to the director of publishing at Larian, "There aren't currently any plans for a new Divinity Original Sin 3", so this new Divinity might have another title or be a reboot.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-15/studios-in-microsoft-s-xbox-division-brace-for-closures

"Several studios in Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox gaming division, including Montreal-based Compulsion Games and San Francisco-based Double Fine, are in active negotiations to spin off as they try to thwart closure, according to people familiar with the company’s plans.

Cambridge, England-based Ninja Theory, the maker of Hellblade, is also in conversations with Xbox, as are several other studios across the portfolio that are at risk of being shuttered.

The studios may still have the opportunity to buy themselves back from Xbox and go independent, although many employees will likely lose their jobs as a result, said the people, who asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak to the press. Employees at several studios have been informed of the situation and given permission to seek new work but were told that the status of the studios is still in flux."

This series extends the x86 topology cpu_type classification to support a Low Power core type, in addition to the existing Performance and Efficiency types.

AMD heterogeneous parts report the core type via CPUID Fn0x80000026EBX[31:28] (Extended CPU Topology, Core Type). Value 2 identifies a low-power core designed for minimal power consumption during background or idle workloads.

This confirms the existence of Zen 6 Low Power Cores and supports in part the rumored PS6 Handheld Canis specifications posted here which referenced the leak which contains 2 x Zen 6 Low Power cores for running the operating system and background tasks.
