NeoGAF User Leaks Microsoft Games Info

by jake108

Along with the Halo 2 leak posted earlier, there have been quite a few leaks concerning different Microsoft IP’s. The information is as follows:

Forza Horizon: “Fall 2014, probably September. Super sexy weather system and… shit tons of co-op/social stuff. 1080P and open-world, so you can road trip with your bros.
Halo Anniversary 2 will be 1080p, iffy on the 60fps, maybe not.
Quantum Break is Holiday 2014
Multiplayer confirmed for HA2, same devs as Halo Anniversary.
Sunset Overdrive is Fall 2014
Fable Legends is Summer 2015
Gears of War will probably need a 2.5 year dev time.
First Titanfall DLC is 45 days from release, then another one 120 days from release.

If you’d like to see the post in it’s entirety, you may find it here. As said in a previous article, the user who has leaked all this info has been verified by NeoGAF as a legitimate source. Still, as with all leaks and rumors, any of this can change. If any more leaks show up, be sure to check back here as I will update the article!
