Project Platinum is MachineGames (I saw people say this, haven't confirmed it myself). Did the rumours of Tango working on a JRPG come from a reliable source? I have a hard time believing they're working on Ghostwire Tokyo 2 Tbh...But I would expect multiple teams from Tango so maybe it's possible. Dishonoured 3 would be led by Arkane Lyon, right? Who just finished up Deathloop? I'm excited for Doom Year Zero, the title scream origin story but at the same time I'm a little "disappointed" that it's Doom again instead of a Quake reboot. I still love Doom though and it's an amazing franchise but I would have liked to see Quake revived properly as Doom already got that love. Project Kestrel...2025...Seems about right...Maybe a reveal at E3 2024. 2024 will be interesting. If we get an Oblivion remaster and Indiana Jones in the same year, damn. Oblivion remaster should be moved away from Avowed which I expect will be Holiday 2024 so Oblivion ideally in Early 2024 but then we have Starfield's expansion, Lmao. Then we don't know where Hellblade, Towerborne and Flight Sim 2024 will land. Did the Oblivion remaster leak (the original one) claim it was releasing in 2024? |
The revenue expectations for Platinum seem a bit low for Wolfenstein 3, though I suppose it could be a new IP from Machine. However, considering Machine is only 157 people on LinkedIn, I just don't see how they have the staff to release two games back to back one year apart like these financials show is the plan, unless Machine is one of those studios like The Coalition that is greatly underrepresented on LinkedIn. The only other possibility I can think of for Platinum would be that it's the Roundhouse first game, but then Roundhouse seems quite small, and is reportedly working with Arkane Austin to fix Redfall and finish it's DLC characters, so they may not have the staff to be working on Platinum either. Platinum seems like a real headscratcher, unless it is Wolfenstein 3 and alot of the work on it was already finished from 2017-2019 (when they got the Indiana Jones license and postpoined Wolfenstein 3), giving them a foundation to quickly build off of and get Wolfenstein 3 out just 1 year after Indiana.
The Tango JRPG leak came from a source that got some things right in the past, such as Kojima's Overdose game and the Baiten Kaitos remaster, so I suppose Tango could be split in two again just like they were when making HiFi and Ghostwire 1 simultaneously, except this time Ghostwire 2 and a smaller JRPG.
Probably Arkane Lyon leading in order to make that release schedule as there is too small of a gap between Redfall and Dishonored 3 on that schedule for Austin to lead, though Austin could have joined them after Redfall released to make it a collaborative effort.
I think they'll get around to the Quake reboot eventually, probably next after Doom Year Zero.
2024 is indeed looking to be a wild year if nothing is delayed. 2024 for Xbox/Bethesda is looking like Starfield DLC, ESO expansion, Oblivion Remaster, Indiana Jones, Flight Sim 2024, Towerborne, Avowed, Forza Horizon 6, Hellblade, and Ara.
The original leaker, who was said to be a disgruntled former employee at the studio that Bethesda is collaborating with to remaster Oblivion, said that when he left the studio they were aiming for late 2024 or early 2025, with the decision on date being partially based on if they decided to stick with the current plan of making the game more of a remaster, or deciding to make it more of a remake with more improvements. So if it stayed a remaster, late 2024, if it was expanded into a remake, early-mid 2025 I guess.
