Proper, Mr Bond. Now that is out of the best way, let me stage with you. The principle motive I’ve dragged you right here to relay this data – regardless of already having sodded off for the vacations – is as a result of after I first noticed the information, I believed one of many 2026-dated video games I’ve written about in a most anticipated article going up across the new yr may not be a 2026-dated recreation. Fortunately that is not the case, so I will as an alternative blame this temporary crimbo information cameo on my admirable devotion to RPS and likewise the truth that having hopped on to do the identical factor for GTA 6‘s most up-to-date delay, it simply felt proper.
