We're not jumping to conclusions just yet, but something fishy is going on with a brand new Perfect Dark Twitter account that popped up last weekend.

Here's the sitch: over the weekend, two Twitter accounts were spotted by Tom Warren, senior editor at The Verge. One is @Fable, the other is @PerfectDarkGame--both are storied franchises, and both are rumored to have a new game currently in development for the Xbox Series X.

A brand new Twitter account for two rumored-to-be-in-production games could mean an imminent announcement, so people are going to notice this sort of thing. Especially fans of either Fable or Perfect Dark.

According to Twitter, the @Fable account got started in March of 2020, while the Perfect Dark Twitter handle got started just this month. Keep that in mind as we get to Aaron Greenberg, who is GM for Xbox Games Marketing at Microsoft.

Greenberg responded to Warren's tweet saying that it was "standard practice to secure social handles for our IP" and that both accounts "have been inactive for years." But again, both accounts are very recent additions to Twitter and thus couldn't have been inactive for so long. Greenberg seems to be blowing a lot of smoke, and as the saying goes, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Although Microsoft is remaining silent, the owner of @PerfectDarkGame is not. No sooner is the Twitter account discovered than it suddenly tweets to say that it’s not officially associated with Microsoft in any way, and in fact, it’s just some rando squatting on the handle. Time for disappointment right?

But hold the phone. @PerfectDarkGame then says that they reached out to Ken Lobb, Creative Director at Microsoft Studios, to ask if he’d like the handle. So far there’s no response, but whoever @PerfectDarkGame is, they’re clearly a Perfect Dark fan and want the franchise to return.

Which is nice, but we’ve got one more wrinkle to add to this whole mystery. The owners for both @Fable and @PerfectDarkGame? They’re registered using @microsoft.com email accounts.

It’s possible to get a Microsoft email account without actually being a Microsoft employee, but it's hardly the first choice for a throw-away email account to make a Twitter handle. Combine that with the fact that both Twitter accounts are followed by Microsoft employees, and there are just too many coincidences to ignore.

Microsoft said there's going to be more game announcements for the Xbox Series X next month. We won't be too surprised if Ms. Dark makes an appearance.
