This week, we mentioned a Twitter account in the name of Prince of Persia which seems to belong to Ubisoft. But others have also been noticed, and some have even been created quite recently. It is very easy to create one to make players believe that something is being prepared, including putting an email domain name that looks like Microsoft or another brand. Rather than saying nothing, Microsoft still responded through Aaron Greenberg, marketing director at Xbox.
A common practice in the community, according to Xbox
The “fable” and “PerfectDarkGame” Twitter accounts have been circulating on the web for a few days and they have inevitably created lively discussions. As recently as yesterday, the brand new PerfectDarkGame account woke up and if we are to believe its author, it would be a fan who wanted to secure the name after seeing that it was free. He said he agreed to cede the name to Microsoft if necessary.
Earlier, Aaron Greenberg stated that the reservation of names from intellectual property belonging to them was common practice.
I know everyone is eagerly waiting for news, but sorry to make you hope. These accounts have been inactive for years, it is common to secure the social identifiers of our intellectual properties.
In other words “move around, there is nothing to see”. For the moment ? Because these accounts have been updated during the last two months, even if they have been inactive for a long time. The rumor of a new Fable game developed by Playground Games has already circled the world five times and everything suggests that the game could be revealed next month at the Xbox conference in July. There are only a few weeks left to wait since this should not happen during the beginning of the month if we are to believe the journalist Jez Corden. We can therefore count on the week of July 13.
