Tom Henderson strongly suggests no Avowed at show. He says there are certain games being floated around as being expected as sure things for the showcase that are not actually gonna be there. He then says he has ‘vowed’ not to talk about them in the stream “wink, wink”.
Can’t timestamp since it is live still, but it is roughly 6:50 after the start of the stream if you can sort that out.
Jeff Grubb leaked that Kojima and Microsoft were working on signing a contract to develop a game.
He leaked that Obsidian might have discussed making New Vegas 2 with Bethesda. Man has sources in the executive zoom calls apparently.
Throw in Jez who somehow has Microsoft’s entire codename roadmap for whole generation and the idea of something as long speculated about as Banjo slipping through the cracks is asinine.
I am not pretending to be an insider, but every other actual insider has said Avowed is practically a lock with no pushback anywhere so I am not expecting anything else.
Asserting something as fact is not the same thing as sourcing things to these insiders you speak of. Are those insiders saying they know it will be there or that they predict it will be there? Show your work please.
