Microsoft Xbox Chief Marketing Officer Aaron Greenberg has played down the importance of the recent registration of two new Twitter accounts: @Fable and @PerfectDarkGame.
Journalist Tom Warren tweeted the news of the two new accounts, reporting that both were recently registered, the Fable in March and the Perfect Dark only this month, noting that “a Microsoft Xbox employee is following one, and the other is registered at a Microsoft email address. “

However, Xbox Chief Marketing Officer Aaron Greenberg responded to the tweet, stating, “I know everyone is hungry for news, but I’m sorry to hope. These accounts have been dormant for years, it is standard practice to secure social media for our IP. “

This only poured more fuel into speculative fires, as clearly neither account has been “idle for years.” And although the owner of @PerfectDarkGame has unlocked the account and said that “they created this account after learning about @fable one”, adding that “they regretted disappointing everyone [as they are] just a normal guy who got the @ “, from most comments to tweets … well, few seem to believe them.
Perfect Dark released 20-20! – Years ago now. At GamesRadar + Perfect Dark remaster review we gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars, stating, “Perfect Dark is a remarkably aged game; it appears to be much older than Halo, and somehow even older than the GoldenEye less ambitious but more robust from four years earlier. But if you were there At the time, if you stood in line with us at the game store and claimed your pre-order, if you remember summer multiplayer bloodbaths at frame rate you never realized were bad, if you can hum the music from Pause from the Carrington Institute without even thinking: you just have to get hold of this Perfect Dark rebirth, no matter how sadly imperfect it is today. “
There’s a lot to be excited about in games this year. Here are the upcoming 2020 games We really can’t wait.
