Multiple leakers corroborate surprise Witcher 3 expansion claims

9 janvier 2026 à 16:00

While 2015’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is beloved by many for a plethora of reasons, one of the game’ shining hallmarks is its excellent DLC, with the Blood and Wine expansion in particular considered by many to be worth the price of a full game on its own. Following surprise rumours in recent weeks stating that The Witcher 3 is set to get a 3rd expansion over a decade on from launch, additional insiders have corroborated the claims.

Following the surprise report from analysts ‘Noble Securities’ claiming that The Witcher 3 will be getting a 3rd expansion in the lead-up to the in-development Witcher 4, additional sources have corroborated the rumours.

Alongside IGN Poland, the publication PPE.PL (who have leaked unannounced projects in the past) confirmed the unexpected rumours, writing (as translated): “Our own sources tipped us off about a new Wild Hunt project a year ago. In the first half of 2025, we were explicitly told that The Witcher 3 would receive massive new content that fans “’will absolutely love.’”

Witcher 3 Expansion

Though PPE did not have any further details on exactly what this project will entail, it seems clear that a 3rd Witcher 3 expansion is in the works. Though purely speculation, it’s possible that as with Cyberpunk’s recent updates, this Witcher DLC could be being developed by an external studio.

With whispers suggesting that a release could be as soon as this year, here’s to hoping we won’t have to wait long to find out.

Obsidian Entertainment reportedly has 4 projects in the works

9 janvier 2026 à 15:00

Obsidian Entertainment is perhaps one of the busiest studios under Microsoft, with the Fallout: New Vegas maker having worked on 6 different games since being purchased by the console maker back in 2018. Despite having just released Avowed; Grounded 2 (in Early Access) and The Outer Worlds 2 last year, Obsidian is reportedly working on 4 different unannounced projects right now.

In a report by known Xbox insider Jez Corden discussing the future of Microsoft’s console throughout 2026 and beyond, the leaker claimed that Obsidian Entertainment is currently working on “four new projects, some big some small.”

As mentioned, Obsidian Entertainment has been one of Xbox’s most consistent studios, having released 3 games just last year: Avowed in February; Grounded 2’s Early Access in July and The Outer Worlds 2 this past October.

Obsidian Projects

While they are unlikely to match that output in 2026, its possible we could see two projects from the team between now and December – one of which being a tiny Pentiment-styled affair and the other perhaps being the recently rumoured Fallout: New Vegas remaster (though that is likely being handled by an external studio).

Regardless, it is exciting to see that Obsidian has plenty more currently cooking in the oven. While none of their recent releases have managed to reach the heights of New Vegas, it is nice to have a team which can produce solid products at a consistent rate.

Nintendo unveils first set of new Joy-Con 2 colours

9 janvier 2026 à 14:00

Nintendo made a killing with the Switch’s Joy-Cons, not only due to their tendency to drift leading fans to purchase additional units, but also thanks to the console maker’s release of countless different controller colours allowing a degree of customisation when playing in handheld. Nintendo appears to be continuing the practice with Switch 2 – though with admittedly much duller offerings so far.

As shared to their Nintendo Today news app, the console maker officially unveiled their first new set of Joy-Con 2 colours for the Switch 2.

Said to be made available from the 12th of February for £74.99 a pair, fans will soon be able to get their hands on Light Purple / Light Green Joy-Cons to go alongside the default Red and Blue.

Unfortunately, as with the base Joy-Cons, the colours are limited to the dome under the thumbsticks and the magnetic rail – meaning the colours will be hardly noticeable when in handheld.

In addition, these Joy-Cons will not match the Switch 2’s siderail colours as they were based on the original Red and Blue – though this too is hardly noticeable (for the better this time).

Regardless, having more colour options is welcome to see, even if the current crop do little to make the console look different. Hopefully future releases include more all-encompassing colouring.

2026 Xbox Developer Direct will include Fable, Forza and more

9 janvier 2026 à 11:00

At the tail-end of last year, Microsoft casually confirmed that they would be hosting another edition of their annual Xbox Developer Direct this January. With January 2026 here, the console maker has now made the announcement official – confirming that Fable, Forza Horizon 6 and more will be shown off.

Making the announcement via their Xbox Wire blog, Editor-in-Chief Joe Skrebels officially confirmed the premiere date for their 2026 Developer Direct, writing: “2026 is going to be an incredible year for Xbox players – you might even call it a… fabled year. To celebrate, we’re kicking it off with the fourth installment of our Developer_Direct broadcast on January 22, bringing you news, new gameplay, and insights directly from the incredible teams working on titles coming this year.”

As with previous Directs, Microsoft is choosing to focus on a select number of titles, with this year’s headliners being:

  • Fable
  • Forza Horizon 6
  • Beast of Reincarnation

Xbox Direct

Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 6 was previously announced to be present at this event and so its inclusion is not too shocking. That said, the fact that we will get to see more Fable is somewhat of a surprise given that it too is being developed at Playground Games (albeit by a different team).

For the uninitiated, Beast of Reincarnation is an impressive-looking action-RPG from GameFreak – the studio behind the Pokemon series. Looking unlike anything else the team has worked on previously, Beast of Reincarnation showcases what Game Freak is capable of, and so it will be highly interesting to learn more about this somewhat mysterious project.

Though only 3 titles were officially confirmed for the showcase, just like last year it seems a surprise game is planned to be shown off, with insider Shinobi602 stating “There's a ‘secret' fourth game.”

Regardless of whether there is a secret game or not, it will be exciting to learn more about Forza Horizon 6, Fable and Beast of Reincarnation in just a couple weeks’ time. The Xbox Developer Direct will go live on the 22nd of January at 6PM GMT.
