As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a twinge of both anticipation and disappointment upon hearing the latest rumors about the Xbox Series X and Series S exclusives. While it’s always a bummer to hear about potential delays, I’ve come to expect them in this industry. After all, who among us hasn’t waited with bated breath for a game, only to see its release date slip further and further into the horizon?
It appears that a game originally speculated for a 2025 release on Xbox Series X and Series S may no longer be coming out next year, according to recent reports. The game, which wasn’t officially confirmed for a 2025 launch like titles such as Avowed or Fable, had been anticipated by many. However, it seems that the project has experienced internal delays, pushing its release back to 2026.
According to Jeff Grubb of Giant Bomb, who is often accurate in his industry insights but lacks some specific details this time, the rumor circulates about an upcoming Xbox game that was initially planned for a 2025 launch but has been pushed back to 2026 due to delays. However, it’s important to note that the 2025 release date was never officially confirmed, making it distinct from any game officially scheduled for 2025. Grubb speculates it might be Perfect Dark, but this remains unverified.
It’s not shocking to learn that Perfect Dark has been delayed until 2026. The game has faced numerous challenges in development since its reveal in 2020, leading to Crystal Dynamics (known for Tomb Raider and Marvel’s Avengers) being brought on to collaborate with Xbox studio The Initiative. Given that the game re-emerged just this summer, a release date in 2025 seemed rather improbable. Instead, it seems more feasible that we’ll see Perfect Dark in 2026 or possibly even later.
To put it simply, the information you’re reading is largely unverified and filled with assumptions. Since Xbox hasn’t responded to this rumor yet, we think it might stay that way, but we’ll let you know if anything changes. We’ll make sure to update this story if new information comes up.
