Or possibly some sort of a reboot
Midnight Clubis a series that has been left in the dust. It’s adored by a specific subset of racing fans, but developer Rockstar hasn’t shown much interest in giving it any attention over the last near-decade. The most recentMidnight Clubgame released in 2008.
That opening paragraph sounds like a eulogy, but it’s not. You can’t eulogize what’s not dead, and it sounds likeMidnight Clubmight be making a comeback.
A user onreddithas discovered the presence of some sort ofMidnight Clubgame on Xbox Live’s servers. The screenshots (which are allegedly from a Rockstar developer testing the game) show the Xbox One buttons overlaid onMidnight Clubscreens.
The ambiguity here has led the community to posit all sorts of ideas. This could be a remaster,possibly in the same vein asPhantom Dust. (It’s probably worth noting that the originalMidnight Clubdidn’t have licensed cars and one of these screenshots features a Nissan Skyline GTR.) Another theory is that this indicates a series reboot, which is supported by the title screen featuring a 2015 Ford Mustang — a car that obviously didn’t exist a decade ago. Or, this could simply be another newMidnight Club.
It’s also worth taking into consideration thatthe Xbox account where all this activity stems fromis now completely locked down. There’s no tracing back the evidence, there’s only taking the evidence at face value. But, if this is true, some sort of newMidnight Clubis would be welcomed with open arms by a lot of people — even if there are othergood arcade racerson the market.
