So today Major Nelson tweeted at and followed this Twitter account

https://twitter.com/pcedf

The accounts name is "Be Ready" and as you can see PC is in the name of the Twitter handle. It has a picture of some kind of medieval knight looking art as its banner image.

Also it has "soon" written as its bio. With the upcoming Windows 10 event it looks like there is a legit chance MS may be revealing a new game here.

UPDATE!!!!!

It was nothing just a hilarious coincidence. Here from the Major himself.

"Slow down folks...here is what happened.

@thevowel (who I work w/) tweeted this:
https://twitter.com/thevowel/status/555807482484781056

Then @pcedfeldt tweeted this as a response:

https://twitter.com/pcedfeldt/status/555809964845830144

I tweeted "" since it would be funny if @thevowel could not remember my name (see above tweet)

but Tweetdeck (or my own stupidity) did not reply to that tweet thread.

AND thus this thread was spun up.

I removed that tweet and replied with proper context here https://twitter.com/majornelson/stat...28331694657537

So that's it. No hidden meaning here, there or anywhere.

Quick fact check: I never followed that account."

Let's go.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

What

 

[Eggbok]

Medieval Knight you say? Ryse II: Knights of England confirmed.

 

[MavFan619]

Forza Horizon 3 2016 of course.

 

[JaggedSac]

"major" is a bit of a reach.


Also, banner image:

 

[Hip Hop]

followed!

 

[Kezen]

I'm listening but not expecting something "big", at least from my perspective.
If it's "big" from MS it must also be on Xbox One.

 

[Catrollinginthewind]

Dragons Dogma 2 PC exclusive yesssssss.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Like I said in the other thread: Age of Empires.

 

[oti]

Microsoft's Gaikai/PS Now.

 

[MavFan619]

Dragons Dogma 2 PC exclusive yesssssss.

Don't even make such jokes ;_;

 

[derFeef]

Detectives get on it.

 

[Cheat Code]

Earth Defence Force x Age of Empires

or something

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Fallout 4!~

lol.

Age of Empires?

 

[TheSeks]

Personal Computer "Earth Defense Force."

Makes sense for that tag. Though I don't think EDF is a huge IP to hype for a PC port?

 

[The Shogun]

"major" is a bit of a reach.


Also, banner image:

IDK if they went out of their way to create a twitter handle just to hype it, it may very well be a big game.

 

[Dead Prince]

anyone can make out the signature?

 

[MightyHedgehog]

AoE IV?

 

[PhatSaqs]

Kinect Dark Souls

 

[Begaria]

PC? Previously looking for developers to work on a "beloved" strategy game from Microsoft? Medieval Knight?

Age of god damn mother fucking Empires! Yeaaaahhhhh!...I hope.

 

[NuKERxyz]

From my ass: Its a pic from a Locust Armor.

 

[Corpekata]

Personal Computer "Earth Defense Force."

Makes sense for that tag. Though I don't think EDF is a huge IP to hype for a PC port?

There's already one on Steam and the series seems to be leaning more toward Sony these days anyway, so unlikely.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Ryse 2?

 

[dude]

Brighter it that helps.

 

[LycanXIII]

pcedf?

Earth Defense Force with knights.

 

[Steverulez]

Ryse 2?

I don't think we will get a "Ryse 2" for a long time and if we do... it won't be with Microsoft publishing.

 

[JaggedSac]

IDK if they went out of their way to create a twitter handle just to hype it, it may very well be a big game.

It very well could be. But I doubt it. And creating a twitter account is hardly going out of one's way.

 

[AmuroChan]

This is the same game that's referenced in the "return of a beloved strategy game" tweet right? If so, then the picture would suggest that it's Age of Empires.

 

[shinobi602]

Like I said in the other thread: Age of Empires.

Don't do this to me...

 

[cardsbasebal]

google image search for the profile pic comes up fan art for Dark Souls
edit: well it did before the changed the profile pic

that was the original profile pic

 

[The Shogun]

PC? Previously looking for developers to work on a "beloved" strategy game from Microsoft? Medieval Knight?

Age of god damn mother fucking Empires! Yeaaaahhhhh!...I hope.

If this is a new Age of Empires I will lose my shit.

And there is evidence pointing to it might be happening. Like you said they wre looking for developers to work on a beloved strategy game.

GUYS IT MIGHT BE HAPPENING

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

AoE IV pleaseee

 

[ashecitism]

hmmmmmmmm

 

[funkystudent]

Wasnt their talk of them take (yet another) stab at Age of Empires?

And it would be on both PC and XB?

 

[oti]

LARPing Milo.

 

[iMax]

English Defence League?

 

[Tom Nook]

Frogs in armor suits?...........

 

[Aliquidmeri]

Maybe they're announcing Fallout 4? It's a major PC franchise an all. The picture is just a close up of some power armor!

Spoiler

*Wishful thinking*

 

[xxracerxx]

Dark Souls 3: MS Edition exclusive to Xbox One and PC!

 

[alr1ght]

Captain Morgan: The Videogame

 

[Easy_D]

Finally! Infinity Blade ported to PC!

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Brighter it that helps.

A reverse image search brings up this image. Brace yourselves:

 

[Com_Raven]

I need more Age in my life!

 

[cyberheater]

Looks female to me.

 

[The Shogun]

google image search for the profile pic comes up fan art for Dark Souls

Whooooooaaaa and the plot thickens. Why would that be the image banner? Major Nelson is the one who followed it so its some kind of legit thing

 

[Zubz]

I'm putting my money on a new IP. Between Minecraft, Gears, and Rare planning on using its IPs after over a decade of stagnation, I feel like they're trying to build up some brand awareness.

 

[Trago]

Detectives get on it.

Looks like a zoomed in knight's crotch....

 

[HabeeNo]

Fable Horizon

 

[Weeaboosuke]

Definitely AoE.

Let's go!
