I made mistake with wording, we can know if relly is true only when we have official announcement and official information from Nintendo or Namco Bandai. But like I wrote, Eurogamer gave much higher weight to hole story.

Ok, thanks for clearing it up. Well Eurogamer have been wrong before. I don't know why when it comes to leakers people really seem to only care about the positive side of track records. It's odd. I guess it's because they really want the leaks to come true.

But I do think Eurogamer adds more credibility. I already thought it was true though. The Bandai part of the rumor specifically wasn't anything new. When Nintendo announced that Retro wasn't making Prime 4 I believe a lot of people speculated Bandai were developing part of the game. Ridge Racer is crazy enough that I believed it. So yeah I believe it, just important to use a little bit of salt.



Around the Network

Maybe we will hear something about it the next direct which should happen 5 days ago....

Nintendo never said anything, that was just speculation.



[UPDATE: Since publication I've heard Bandai Namco's Japan studio is also working on the project, with the intention it will now take the lead on its development while Singapore moves to focus on another Switch game]

So I guess that second game is Ridge Racer.



I was wondering how a new development team could handle 3 different projects at the same time
