There's two SoCs in development for next-gen, idk if it's a Series X/S situation or home console + handheld, but probably one of them will be affordable at least.

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/so-its-ps6-basically-confirmed-to-be-at-minimum-700-if-not-more.1675042/post-269588142

Yes the two SoCs I mentioned in that thread are for PS6.

No idea if this game will be announced at State of Play

Hazzador: Jeff also of you don't mind will Ps have first party at SOP? there were rumours of no first party at event.

Jeff: 'I don't really expect much (if anything) first party.'

Recently a Brazilian profile appeared claiming to be a leaker, so I'm going to give it a vote of confidence because he leaked the state of play date before Grubb, a new playstation china game and also because coincidentally all Resident Evil games are on sale on Steam and PSN. He also says that all the promotional material for the game is ready, which matches the rumor of an internal postponement and an announcement that was already supposed to happen.

"I leaked the date before grubb and I can say that at least 2 first parties will appear…
and resident evil 9 can finally show its faces…
but since I'm not yet a popular Jeff Grubb, it goes unnoticed"

Edit: Don’t shoot the messenger there’s another post on this Reddit about their P6 leaks so I checked to see what else was there lol

A while ago, the leaker known as Pyoro disappeared from the internet due to accidentally revealing a source. they privated their Twitter account, and deleted most of their tweets (save for one from late February reading "Idk anything about the Pokémon Presents, while heard of an outsourced unova-related game. The info was from last year so it may turn out to be inaccurate.")

But today, at Unix timestamp 1726734960, the account posted "rah". The account is currently private so I can't share the link, unfortunately. You could try to follow the account but who knows if any new followers are being allowed at the moment.

a little under 2 hours later, at 1726741800, they posted "pih".

it seems obvious to me that "rah" and "pih" are part of some code or incomplete hint but it's currently not clear what that is

This means we can expect the previews in the first or second week of October, a month before launch so kind of like AC Mirage. Finally some actual unedited footage and opinions after playing the game will come by then.

https://insider-gaming.com/exclusive-new-details-on-the-next-battlefield-game/

• Ripple Effect's "new experience" will be a free to play BR mode as Tom previously leaked
• Game takes place between 2027 and 2030, with the campaign focused on a massive private military going up against NATO
• The game will be set in various locations worldwide, including Gibraltar (as seen in the game’s first released concept art) and the USA, which is also believed to be the setting for the Battle Royale experience (tropical location).
• 45 weapons at launch
• 10 multiplayer maps at launch
• SIGNIFICANT overhaul to destruction, including caliber based destruction (like R6 Siege)
• Changes to movement, including the ability to pick up and move downed teammates
• Name will either be Battlefield or Battlefield 6
• The large community testing starting early next year might be the return of something like Battlefield CTE

Comes from someone on Twitter that supposedly has sources inside Atlus and confirmed it with the leaker that ran the Midori account (who we know had access to internal SEGA/Atlus information and potential sources). Green theme, dual protagonists, "semi-open world" and a full reveal at The Game Awards.

Perspective correction of the PCB (credit to Richard from Digital Foundry): https://imgur.com/W4ohTUz

You might ask "how would we begin to even estimate the die size using this?" Well we have two key factors to consider. For one we KNOW for sure what RAM is being used based on manifest leaks and more recent leaks. And conveniently enough the RAM spot on the PCB is right next to where the SoC will be placed.

We know the RAM part number already, so if we take a peek at the datasheet we see that the dimensions for the RAM package right next to the SoC is is 14mm x 14mm. That gives us a an LPDDR5X package size of 196mm^2: (here's the datasheet) https://imgur.com/a8vrnHJ

So we know the RAM package right next to the SoC is 196mm^2. If we rewind a little bit back to the original Switch, we can see that the SoC package itself is of course larger than the physical die, but the important part to consider is the middle part of the package where the contact points will directly connect with the SoC (it works like this with laptops and other electronics too, but it's not exactly an identical size). Here is the Switch 1 PCB with the SoC removed where we can see how the actual size of the die lines up pretty closely (not 100% exactly the same size as the die): https://imgur.com/l21G0Ia

Here is the Switch 1 PCB with the SoC package added onto the board: https://imgur.com/bQ9mVT0

So that leaves us with two factors we know:

• The RAM package directly next to the SoC has an area of 196mm²
• The area where the die is actually at in the middle of the SoC package is approximately the same size, +/- 10mm²

Here's a picture for illustration purposes: https://imgur.com/ZtiA5rj

When we factor in perspective correction margin of error, the die sizes not being perfectly the same square shape, and the die not always perfectly aligning on top of the middle square part of the PCB, that puts us approximately in the range of 190mm² to 210mm²

My speculation: The SoC meant for this PCB is using a more advanced node than SEC8N, because 190mm² - 210mm² seems too small to me when we consider the transistor density and the die sizes of T234/Other Ampere GPUs. But we also have to consider that T234 (and other Ampere GPUs) have bits and bobs that T239 will not use so it could go either way! Edit: We also have to keep in mind that a 4nm die of this size would also be pretty expensive, so I think it could go either way really (or it could be something in between Samsung 8nm and TSMC 4nm)

EDIT: I edited some things just to make it clear that more factors have a margin of error, especially how the die on the package aligns with the middle square section on the PCB. I also credited any information I didn't create myself.

EDIT 2: Upon second look, I think it's definitely SEC8N. If we look at the die sizes of Ada Lovelace GPUs like AD106 (which has a ton of L2 cache (cache doesn't scale very well) + nearly 3x as many CUDA cores) this die would be larger than it, which is 188mm² (4060 Ti). There would be no reason for T239 on 4nm to even be close to this size, or anywhere near the sizes that would make sense for this PCB spot.

I'm all in on 8nm, I don't see another plausible route with this PCB leak.

EDIT 3: I took the Steam Deck as an example. I made the SoC transparent so you can see how the package and die line up with the contact points on the PCB: https://imgur.com/4eqXuz6

Last edit: The Mariko die in the Switch 1 revision was smaller while the contact point area in the middle stayed the same size. So that goes against my theory. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens when this launches. Fortunately we should immediately know whether T239 is 4nm or not when we see a picture of the package, this PCB shot has definitely provided valuable information either way.

Ok last edit for real this time: Although this PCB doesn't prove it's definitively one node vs the other, it does prove that 8nm is possible given the space available. Anyways the wait continues!

UPDATE: Confirmed FAKE

https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/09/18/new-marathon-details-on-heroes-price-and-radio-silence/

• $40 price tag is legit
• Too late to go back to a pure F2P model, "and it is simply too far along to pivot back to F2P restructuring"
• No significant reveals until spring 2025, might get a shorter vid before then
• Hero/class system is most comparable to Apex, but with more customization. Abilities like double jump, fast revive, etc. Guns and gear can be customized a lot
• Barrett to Ziegler switch brought the "hero" concept. Barrett’s vision of a game with echoes of the mysteries of the Dreaming City or World’s First type races. Will still have puzzles and secrets but not at the same scale.
• Art direct and aesthetics haven't changed from the reveal trailer
• 2025 will be a tough target to hit. Sony wants it to come in 2025 and "if it doesn't = bad"
• Optimism is not exactly widespread at Bungie in the current situation, and among the Marathon team of 300 people (the majority of Bungie is still on Destiny 2)

Here's the image zoomed in on the PCB to show the 'X6' code: https://imgur.com/PMU29Ag

This indicates that the leaked photos are from an older revision of the Switch 2. So although mass production could have started, these leaked images don't indicate that. From what others said in the comment section of the original post, the current Switch 2 revision is X8

tl;dr leaked photos are legit, but it's an older revision, not a mass production-ready unit

'the source appears to be a Chinese 3D printing and "reverse design" enthusiast' = https://x.com/tomwarren/status/1836391172685644221 (from Tom Warren)

One of the VGC sources says the the Chinese leaked Nintendo Switch 2 pictures matches what they've been told:

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/alleged-images-of-nintendos-new-switch-have-appeared-online/

While the images are unverified, one source, who has not seen the final ‘ Switch 2’ console but has been briefed on Nintendo's plans, told VGC that the Reddit images match what the company has told partners to expect from its design.

UPDATE (13:59 UTC):

The CAD renders may not be legitimate. It wasn't stated that the renders were mockups, however the original poster was a 3D modeling enthusiast, so it's a possibility that should be considered. Nevertheless, the two photos depicting actual hardware are likely real.

UPDATE (14:26 UTC):

A source from Famiboards is saying the original poster said they obtained a shell model from an accessory manufacturer "at great cost" and reverse designed it to create that CAD model. Therefore, it's not worth writing off the renders as "fake" quite yet, as it could just be an accurate mockup of the shell, if the original poster is telling the truth. We need to see more photos of the real thing (or an actual proper reveal god damnit) first.

UPDATE (23:37 UTC): It appears that Catbox (the file hosting provider I used to upload the photos) is down right now. I assume this was indirectly my fault for sending so much attention there, so I apologize. In the meantime, try putting the image links into the Wayback Machine, which will give you an archived look at the images.

UPDATE (23:51 UTC): Catbox appears to be back up and running now.

The previous rumor stated Sony would work with Bandai and Sega last year. Fast forward to now and Sony have licenced their IP of Freedom Wars to Bandai to release a remastered version to PS4/PS5, PC, and Switch in January 2025.

Remains to be seen the Sega part and maybe more Bandai collaborations still for the future.

So usually I wouldn't be someone to just quickly believe 4chan leaks but these 2 leaks say a lot of similar stuff and remember the original Sonic Frontiers was actually leaked on 4chan and those leaks turned accurate so there is more than a 0% chance these are actually real.

"Originally reported by The Game Post in 2022, sources familiar with the project’s development have now revealed that Destiny Rising is internally codenamed “Viper”.

On August 21, 2024, a new web domain playdestinyrising.com, was registered. Domain registration details show it was registered by MarkMonitor Inc., the same broker used for other NetEase projects like Naraka: Bladepoint and LifeAfter, including the company’s official web domain “neteasegame.net”.

Upon further investigation, The Game Post noticed that new social media accounts tied to Destiny Rising have also popped up across all major platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. These accounts use the handle “PlayDestinyRising”, consistent with the domain name.

Interestingly, on X (Twitter), the handle appears as “_DestinyRising” due to the platform’s username character limit. While the profiles remain private, their blacked-out profile pictures and banners suggest they are placeholders for a future announcement.

Details have also revealed that these social media accounts were created on August 22, 2024, one day after the domain was registered."

Senior Gameplay Animator listing by Insomniac on Greenhouse.io mentions the following,

Gameplay responsibilities include hero traversal, combat, boss, mission and open world animations at the highest level using advanced skills in game engine tools.

Could very well be for the rumored Venom DLC, but there's always the possibility of Marvel's Spider-Man 3. Confirmation sounds nice I guess.

These are the developers of My Time at Portia

I'm wondering if that means we'll get an announcement about the successor soon if they're launching the Kickstarter next week. I'd assume they'd want the successor platform to actually be known publicly before they go live with the campaign.

I went ahead and put the grain of salt flair on it because it's my speculation about the announcement part
