Leaker Nate the Hate, also known as NateDrake on Resetera, has provided updates on three upcoming Xbox games: the rumored new Banjo-Kazooie game, the unannounced next game from id Software, and the long-awaited Fable reboot.

Recently, leaker NateDrake touched on some of the Xbox exclusives that are in development. The rumored Banjo-Kazooie game is being «reworked from its original vision & scope,» while there's a «very strong chance» that id Software's new game will be revealed this year. NateDrake also said that 2025 was the «last target» they heard about when it comes to the Fable reboot's planned release date.

Unfortunately, the waiting game for more State of Decay 3 information will have to continue, as NateDrake has heard nothing about that particular project.

Nate has a proven track record when it comes to leaking reliable information, but that
