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

1. MechAssault Returns

There's a clear trend beginning to emerge here. If we're to suspend belief for a moment and accept every previous rumour as fact, then Microsoft's primary aim for 2018 appears to be focused around resurrecting long-thought-dead IPs for the Xbox One.

MechAssault, a series that's not been seen since the coffee-table-sized original Xbox was still in fashion, is supposedly on the cards for a reboot alongside Perfect Dark and Fable 4, a prospect that'll be triggering a salivatory response in the gobs of all that love to dabble in a session of metal-twisting mech combat.

Do note, that the whistleblower makes no specific mention of the series - outside noting that our boy Phil loves him some mech action - but there's nary any other mech-based series that Microsoft is known for. The software giant still owns the series' rights, too, so it would only have needed to find a new studio willing to take on the task.

Perfect Dark, Fable 4 and MechAssault 3 announcements all in the same calendar year? Somebody pinch me.
