Fans will however take note of rumors that pop up from reputable sources that have a proven track record. Even then, there’s always room for rumors to never pan out.
2020 has been quite the packed year for the unusual. Likewise, because of the worldwide health pandemic outbreak, it’s also been a year filled with delays. We didn’t get a ton of in-person events or expos that we’re used to seeing happen as well. This does leave room for some announcements to get pushed back and with 2020 coming to an end and eyes now looking at the upcoming 2021 year, there’s not much time left for some announcements to get unveiled.

We can’t believe every rumor that emerges online, but we’ve seen rumors suggesting just about everything that will happen during this event. From claims of a Silent Hill reboot, the revival of Silent Hills from Hideo Kojima to now claims that Microsoft will be bringing out some kind of an announcement. This latest rumor emerges from GamesBeat which only claims that Microsoft will have an announcement during the event.
