Canceled Twisted Metal Game Was Part Vehicular Combat, Part Shooter, Part Battle Royale, Developer Reveals

“We wanted to take Twisted Metal to the next level by combining vehicular combat, first-person shooting, and battle royale—blending genres in a way that felt fresh.” – Developer of the canceled Twisted Metal game

In a recent revelation, the developers behind the canceled Twisted Metal game have shared some surprising details about the project that never saw the light of day. According to the devs, the game was envisioned as a unique blend of vehicular combat, first-person shooting, and battle royale elements, a mix that could have taken the beloved Twisted Metal franchise in an exciting new direction.

While Twisted Metal has always been known for its high-octane vehicular combat, this canceled project aimed to evolve the series by incorporating shooting mechanics on foot, allowing players to engage in intense combat both inside their vehicles and as ground-based characters. The battle royale component would have added a new layer of competition, potentially creating large-scale, multiplayer matches where players could fight to be the last one standing.

Sadly, despite these ambitious plans, the project was eventually canceled, leaving fans to wonder what could have been. While the developer did not reveal the exact reasons for the cancellation, it is clear that the vision was to push the boundaries of what a Twisted Metal game could be. Fans of the franchise are still hoping for a new entry, but this ambitious, hybrid version of the game remains a lost opportunity.

“The vision was exciting, but in the end, the project didn’t come together as we had hoped. It’s a shame because it had the potential to offer something really unique.” – Developer on the canceled Twisted Metal project

In an intriguing development for fans of the Call of Duty franchise, rumors have surfaced suggesting that Call of Duty 2026 may be exclusive to next-gen Xbox consoles. The move, if confirmed, could mark a significant shift in the gaming landscape, as Call of Duty has long been a cross-platform title. This potential exclusivity could give Xbox a major edge in the competitive gaming market, especially with the increasing demand for next-gen gaming experiences.

While Activision, the publisher behind Call of Duty, has not officially confirmed these reports, industry insiders have pointed to increasing collaboration between Xbox and the Call of Duty franchise following Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. With this new partnership, it wouldn’t be surprising if Xbox were to leverage its influence to make Call of Duty 2026 a key title in the next-gen console race.

Such a move would likely have a huge impact on both Xbox and PlayStation fans, with some expecting a rise in Xbox console sales, while others speculate about potential changes to Sony’s strategic approach to securing major titles.

Rumors Stir as Resident Evil Fans Wonder if the Worst Game Might Get a Current-Gen Port

“While Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City wasn’t beloved by fans, the idea of a current-gen port offers a fresh opportunity to revisit the controversial title and see if it can stand the test of time.”

In what could be a shocking turn of events, whispers in the gaming community suggest that Resident Evil‘s least favorite entry might be getting a current-gen port. While the Resident Evil series is known for its groundbreaking survival horror experiences and remarkable success across multiple generations, some fans are questioning the decision to bring one of its most criticized games to modern platforms.

While details remain scarce, speculation points to Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City as the game in question. Released in 2012, Operation Raccoon City was a spin-off that strayed from the franchise’s traditional survival horror roots, opting for more action-focused gameplay and a heavily criticized narrative. The game failed to capture the magic of its predecessors, earning mixed to poor reviews for its gameplay mechanics, repetitive design, and lackluster story. Fans of the series were particularly disappointed by the departure from what made Resident Evil so iconic.

However, current-gen ports have become a trend in recent years as publishers aim to refresh older titles for new audiences, often improving graphics and performance to bring new life to these games. If Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is indeed getting a port, it raises the question of whether this game can be redeemed in the eyes of fans.

Despite its negative reception, some fans are still curious to see how the game would perform on current-generation consoles with enhanced graphics, smoother gameplay, and possibly some tweaks to its original design. Whether it will be a hit or a miss, only time will tell.

“The Resident Evil franchise is known for its resilience, but can even its most criticized installment find redemption with the power of current-gen hardware?”

As of 2025, a significant portion of the Steam gaming community—43%, to be precise—is still running Windows 10, despite the upcoming end of support for the operating system in just seven months. This statistic raises concerns as the clock ticks down toward Microsoft’s official discontinuation of security updates and patches for Windows 10, scheduled for October 2025.

For gamers, this news could mean potential vulnerabilities and a lack of critical updates, leaving those still on Windows 10 exposed to security risks. With Windows 11 already in full swing and offering various enhancements in terms of gaming performance, security, and UI improvements, the shift to the newer OS is becoming increasingly necessary for long-term stability.

However, many users have been slow to transition, citing reasons such as hardware compatibility, personal preference, or simply the desire not to deal with the hassle of upgrading. This shift is also challenging for some gamers who may have older machines that are not capable of running Windows 11 smoothly or at all.

The reality of Windows 10’s end-of-life status has prompted discussions among both gamers and developers. Some are urging for a faster push to Windows 11, while others worry about the impact on performance and access to the latest gaming technologies on older systems.

“While 43% of Steam users are still on Windows 10, it’s clear that a transition to Windows 11 will become unavoidable as support for the older OS winds down in just a few months.”

According to Industry Predictions Fable Could Be the Biggest PS5 Game of 2026,

“If Fable releases on PS5 in 2026, it could very well define the year for PlayStation gamers. Its blend of storytelling, RPG elements, and open-world freedom has the potential to make it one of the most iconic games of the generation.”

As 2026 draws closer, all eyes are on Fable, the upcoming RPG from Playground Games, and it’s already being heralded as one of the most anticipated titles for the PlayStation 5. While the Fable franchise has long been a beloved part of the Xbox ecosystem, recent reports suggest that the game’s release could have a major impact on the PlayStation 5, making it one of the biggest games of the year, if not the console’s standout title.

Despite being traditionally tied to Xbox platforms, Fable’s next iteration is rumored to be making its way to PS5 in addition to Xbox Series X/S and PC. This shift has sparked a wave of excitement, as the Fable series is known for its vast open-world exploration, whimsical narrative, and deep RPG mechanics. The new game is expected to deliver a fresh take on the beloved series, blending modern technology with the charm that fans of the franchise have come to expect.

Industry experts believe that Fable could surpass expectations in 2026, becoming a cornerstone of the PlayStation 5’s library. With its high production value, cutting-edge visuals, and open-world RPG experience, it has the potential to rival other major RPGs like The Elder Scrolls VI or Final Fantasy XVI in terms of both sales and critical acclaim.

Additionally, the move to include PS5 in its release strategy could further boost its reach, making it one of the most significant cross-platform titles in recent memory. Fans from both console ecosystems are eager to dive into the magical world of Fable, where player choice influences the outcome of their journey, offering countless hours of immersive gameplay.

“The announcement of Fable coming to PlayStation consoles is a game-changer. With Playground Games behind it, this could easily become one of the biggest RPGs on PS5, if not the most talked-about game of 2026.”
