WipeOut it is one of the sagas most loved by fans Sony, however, the company has kept her unemployed for a few years and we haven’t seen any news about her. However, a recent rumor seems to indicate that the franchise could be back sooner than we think, and ensures that a new WipeOut game would have already started its development for PlayStation.
The famous insider Shpeshal_Nick is the one who has recently confirmed the information. In a Twitter post, the analyst confirmed that he has been keeping the secret for days, but who prefers to let it out before someone else does it first. Nick tells on Twitter that «Did you know? To hell. I will risk upsetting someone. I don’t want to get picked up again. I have been told that WipeOut is coming back. It is planned to be a PS5 / PSVR2 title. Probably an XDEV project. They are still raw in the project«.
You know what? Screw it. I’ll risk pissing someone off. Don’t wanna get scooped again. Been told Wipeout is coming back. Planned to be a VR2 / PS5 title. Most likely an XDEV project. Still early in the project.
