Xbox One: 8 2018 Leaks & Rumors You Need To Know About

7. The Coalition Are Making A New Perfect Dark

On paper, the pairing sounds absurd. Perfect Dark, a series that's been on hiatus since 2005's prequel, no longer demands the audience it once did and has always been a first-person affair. The Coalition, a relative newcomer that built its reputation on adopting Epic's Gears of War, has no experience with first-person shooters.

But then, there's one crucial detail being deliberately withheld here. Jo Dark's rumoured return won't be following in its ancestor's steps, but rather, it'll adopt a refreshed third-person perspective. Factoring that in, the pairing begins to follow the laws of logic. Assuming it'd run off the same engine as does Gears 4, this could mark a terrific return to relevance for the cyberpunk shooter.

The salt shakers should be kept stocked for a rumour of this magnitude, but The Coalition has to be working on something since wrapping up post-launch support for Gears 4.

Whichever way the wind doth blow, expect the beans to be spilt at this year's E3.
