On June 27, Xbox fans discovered official Twitter accounts for dormant Microsoft IPs Fable and Perfect Dark, fueling speculation that new games in the franchises would be announced soon. However, Xbox’s Aaron Greenberg has commented on the matter, confirming that these accounts were made years ago for the sole purpose of securing social media handles for the company’s IP, meaning they don’t necessarily indicate announcements coming any time soon.
