RUMOR | Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is being revealed on its own and isn't associated to any presentation. The reveal is planned for this Thursday, April 16 via: Nate The Hate

Nate the Hate says “The Microsoft show will broadcast on April 16th & is the venue of choice for the Metro 2039 reveal. I don't know the branding of the show.”

Jeff Grubb has heard that Fable has been pushed internally “That doesn't mean that it's coming out next year. Apparently they're still trying to get it out this year, [...] if it's getting delayed beyond the release of GTA6, that could push it into December, which might [...] get delayed into 2027”
