Although PlayStation owners have had plenty to keep them occupied with on the PS4, it's fair to say that some might have missed the presence of LittleBigPlanet in the latter half of the console's life. With no games since 2014, the Sumo Digital-developed LittleBigPlanet 3 , that pocket of creativity on the console has felt like a loss.

It’s a versatile vehicle that can carry a Spartan squad into battle, dogfight with enemy aircraft, and rain hellfire on ground troops. Thanks to its twin-turbine system it can also take off and descend vertically getting into hard-to-reach areas. This makes it dangerous in air-to-air combat, can harass air-to-ground, and was pivotal in destroying the monolithic Kraken in Halo 5: Guardia
Once again, there is always the chance that Microsoft is working on something entirely new for this, and other games on the next generation of Xbox console. If funds for Halo Infinite go towards this creation of a new engine, in some ways we can then state that the true cost of the game is not really $500 million, but less as the cost of the engine will be used for other programs for years to come.

In a more contemporary sense, there is also the need to have proper motion capture software and hardware. This is especially true since we appear to be getting heavy into the use of actor’s for both their likenesses and voices. The recent trailers for both Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077 revealed that Norman Reedus and Keanu Reeves appear in the games and lend their voices. How much must that cost? Microsoft may be planning something similar since actors in games appear to be coming into vogue.

This is a bit of a catch-all for points that relate to the unpredictability of a project. Does the project become delayed by unforeseen circumstances? Better hire more developers to meet that deadline and avoid crunch time for the existing staff.


Some might think the zombie horror genre is a little played out by now, but Dying Light 2 will have something to say about that. The original's blend of parkour movement and tense combat proved a winner, while its day and night cycle added a fearsome mechanic that lived long in the memory of its play

Based on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Hogwarts Legacy invites you back to the iconic school of witchcraft and wizardry - except this time, it's set in the late 19th Century, approximately 100 years before Harry and the gang were even born. We don't know a whole lot about the game yet, but it's a full open world experience with spells, potions, magical creatures, and a full-fledged morality system. Apparently, you can choose your own House, too. No, you're probably not a Gryffindor. What a Hufflepuff thing to say.


Dying Light 2 will be aiming to amp up these elements in a larger environment, with a map four times larger than the original. As well as this, players will need to balance different factions which will in turn close off areas of this map, which will add a level of replayability to the overall experience. Techland's survival horror still doesn't have a confirmed release date, but look out for it in Spring 2

German website Xbox Dynasty is reporting the rumored price, though they provide no evidence to support their claim, and previous rumors have largely been debunked in other areas. Still, considering how important this title will be to the future of the console, it would not be unreasonable to consider the development to draw the highest amount of resources.
