This leak surfaced just days before the Xbox Developer Direct, where full gameplay is expected to be shown.
2. Life is Strange: Reunion - Official Reveal After Early Slip
Square Enix and Deck Nine officially announced Life is Strange: Reunion today following an Xbox Wire early post (pulled shortly after).
It's the conclusive story for Max Caulfield and Chloe Price, continuing directly from the original game's timeline (bypassing some spin-offs), with preserved romance options and dual protagonists:
- Max retains time-rewind powers.
- Chloe uses her "Backtalk" mechanic from Before the Storm.
Emotional reunion focus, trailer released, launches March 26, 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
3. Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 - Confirmed Additions
Xbox dropped a strong January Wave 2 lineup today, including major titles hitting Game Pass soon:
- Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
- Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II (Jan 29)
- NINJA GAIDEN Ragebound
- The Talos Principle II
- Indika
- Final Fantasy II
- MySims: Cozy Bundle
- And more (e.g., Anno: Mutationem, Drop Duchy).
This ties into broader Xbox announcements and hype building toward Developer Direct.
4. Fortnite x Sonic - Collab Skins Leaked
Reliable Fortnite leakers shared files confirming a full Sonic collab in works: Sonic skins (no sidekicks), likely more characters. Pulled from game assets, high hype amid Rocket Racing Sonic wheels already in-game.
Other Notable Buzz:
- Various smaller leaks/rumors circulating on X (e.g., Fortnite mode teasers, Blox Fruits patch notes, but lower impact compared to the above).
- Ongoing speculation around other titles like potential Assassin's Creed entries or remasters, but nothing major broke today beyond the Fable and LiS focus.
X/Twitter is dominated by Fable art discussions and excitement for Life is Strange's quick turnaround release. Stay tuned for Thursday's Xbox showcase—it could confirm or expand on these leaks!
