Xbox Scarlett Project Might Consist Of Two Consoles – Xbox Anaconda And Xbox Lockhart

The next generation of Microsoft consoles, known as Xbox Scarlett, could actually be a family of consoles consisting of two machines, namely Xbox Anaconda and Xbox Lockhart.

During the last months, we have been talking a lot about the future of Microsoft in the world of video games consoles as it is known that they are already preparing their next-generation Xbox. The console, known until now as Xbox Scarlett, could be much more than we thought. It seems that Project Scarlett is actually a family of two consoles – Xbox Anaconda and Xbox Lockhart.

According to Brad Sams, on his YouTube channel, Xbox Lockhart would be the codename of the successor of the current Xbox One S, while Xbox Anaconda would be the follow-up to the current-gen Xbox One X. According to the rumors, Microsoft calls Xbox Lockhart as Scarlett Arcade and Xbox Anaconda as Scarlett Pro. Accordingly, Xbox Lockhart would have less power than Xbox Anaconda, although both would share the same architecture and infrastructure.

On the other hand, Brad Sams pointed out that soon we could start hearing more about Danta which would be the name of the Xbox Anaconda development kit that Microsoft would soon begin sending to developers.

And if that weren’t enough, also as reported by Sams, Microsoft would even plan to launch a machine known as Maverick which would be the rumored Xbox without a disk reader and would arrive accompanied by a device called Roma which would serve to reproduce digital content such as the Game Pass or Xbox Live Gold.

In short, it seems that Microsoft is preparing something significant for its next-generation of video game consoles, although we can not ensure you that Xbox Scarlett is actually a family consisting of several machines, as the company has not yet come up with an official announcement in this regard.

Saints Row 5 Newest Leaks – Might Be A Multiplayer Game

The gaming industry is full of rumors about games that everyone is waiting for. However, some of the speculated names might not be released very soon or they might not come at all. Even so, their fans community is waiting for news and they are grateful for every piece of information.

One of those controversial games is Saint Row 5. Nobody knows if this game will ever come, let alone some details about its features. Developers won’t say anything about this game, so we can’t be sure if they are planning to release it. Their decision could be determined by some setbacks experienced by the developing company during the last few years.

If it comes, Saint Row 5 might be a multiplayer game

Everything we’ve heard so far about Saint Row 5 is based on speculations and rumours. However, we could try to make some predictions based on previous versions of the game. As we know, the first parts of Saint Row have been based on single-player mode.

On the other hand, fans have always been asking for multiplayer possibilities. If Volition takes their feedback into consideration, chances are that they will release the Saint Row 5 with this improvement. In addition, the new version of the game could offer players the possibility to make microtransactions. Thus, fans could enjoy a good in-game customization.

The title and release date arise other controversy. Since nobody can provide any leaks on the Saints Row 5, fans are getting anxious to learn more information. During the last months the game has been under more attention than before.

This makes people think that developers are finally working on it, especially since the series’ main writer joined the Volition team again. If the game is ever released, we might hear more about it soon.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Glitch In Version 1.2.0 Gives An Infinite Spawning Of Assists

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 1.2.0 update just rolled out with some improvements and new changes but also with a glitch that gives an infinite spawning of assists. That might excite some gamers but, in reality, the bug is crashing the game.

As we’ve reported already in a recently posted article, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 1.2.0 version, which is first post-release update, came out with stability and performance improvements, as well as with game balance adjustments and some bug fixes. However, it also rolled out with a new glitch that, when triggered, gives an endless spawning of assists.

Besides, several characters, such as Link, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Luigi, Ice Climbers, Young Link, Olimar, Toon Link, Villager, Greninja, PAC-MAN, Duck Hunt, and Isabelle received several updates and fixes. And, by the way, the new glitch is all about Isabelle. Here’s how to make the infinite spawning of assists happen thanks to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 1.2.0 bug.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Glitch In Version 1.2.0 Gives An Infinite Spawning Of Assists

To trigger the glitch, you should fight with Isabelle against Isabelle and make them both hook in an assist trophy using the fishing rod special move. If the timing is correct, then an infinite spawning of assists would happen. However, that’s not as cool as it sounds because it could cause the game to freeze, as reported by Eurogamer.

The Redditor TheAfrowJow discovered the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 1.2.0 glitch which has been explored since then with the 59-strong roster of assist trophy characters, including the Waluigi, the fans favorite. However, the bug would eventually be fixed by Nintendo.

In other news, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a successful title for Nintendo Switch, as it has broken all the records in Japan since it rolled out on December 7th, 2018. Also, the recently released 1.2.0 update brought some significant changes and improvements.
