Rumour: lots of MS announcements next week // Videogame News // GAMER - The UK's Leading Videogames Resource


It looks like next week could be a busy time for 360 fans, with an industry insider claiming that Microsoft is due to make several announcements next week.

On Monday, a well place industry source informed us that Microsoft is planning to hold an event here in Europe next week, where – among other things – it was expected to announce a 360 price cut for Europe and new titles from Bungie and Rare.

Following yesterday’s price cut announcement and denials from Microsoft that it’s planning to hold an event at all, we checked with our source again to see what’s what, with interesting results.

Our source assured us that despite the price cut announcement yesterday, the event is definitely due to go ahead next week, and that Microsoft will make lots of announcements.

Sadly, our source was unable to reveal what these announcements will be, but did throw a little light on when the event may take place.

With longstanding rumours suggesting that a Bungie related announcement could be coming on 25 September, we asked our source whether this was the date when the mysterious event will take place.

Our source said that this was a date they had heard of in relation to the event, but wasn’t in a position to confirm it.

At this point, we’d like to remind everyone that this is all still rumours. Nevertheless, our source is well placed, so it should be interesting to see what happens next week.

If you fancy having a guess at what may (or may not) be announced, the comments section is just below.
