As far as the leak goes, it’s worth mentioning that the source is a largely unknown leaker. Typically, rumors and leaks live and die by the source, so it would be easy to pay it little mind.

Fans should still take it with a grain of salt, but Billbil-kun has a stellar reputation, accurately leaking Xbox Game Pass, PS Plus, andEpic Games Storeadditions in the past.
Therefore, it’s not unreasonable to believeEscape Academy, 20 Minutes Till Dawn, A Plague Tale, andMarvel’s Guardians of the Galaxyto come over the next couple of weeks.
