Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Nothing much is corroborating this yet. On a quiet day in gaming that is enough to reach the top of the section — recency, not significance, is doing the work here.

| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 32% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.44 | +0.110 26% | TechPowerUp is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.91 | +0.181 42% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
It's been a busy week at Xbox Game Studios, with the gaming giant celebrating its 25th anniversary with a slew of new additions to its Xbox Backwards Compatibility on PC program, but it seems as though Xbox CEO, Asha Sharma, had one more trick up her sleeve, announcing late on November 12 that Wolfenstein 3 is in development, with id Software also announcing a new game in the works. The news was shared in a post on X, where she confirmed that Machine Games would again be heading up development of the third game in the franchise reboot. Not much else has been revealed about the game other than a snippet of game script that seemingly reveals the return of Fergus, who kicks off a scene interrogating a prisoner.
