A number of big Xbox One rumours have hit the Net, and include talk of a white console, a Halo 2 remake, and more.

According to a source close to The Verge, Microsoft will release a major dashboard update in March that will fix issues with Xbox Live and party chat, and also rejig the placement of the console’s social features.

The source also claims Microsoft will release a white version of its Xbox One in October, alongside the launch of Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break – games whose release dates are yet to be announced.

Finally, the source claims that in November, a 1TB version of the Xbox One will be launched, and that there will soon be an Xbox One available without a Blu-ray drive.

The Verge has managed to confirm that Microsoft is planning to release a white employee-only Xbox One this year, and that it is testing a disc-less Xbox One.

A number of other big rumours originated from NeoGAF user “ntkrnl”, who Kotaku claims is “connected to Microsoft”. That site also claims that Microsoft is currently trying to track down and identify ntkrnl in order to take legal action against him or her.

The rumours from ntkrnl include unverified reports that Microsoft is remaking Halo 2 and will release it on November 11, that a new Forza Horizon is coming next spring, and that a game called Shangheist was cancelled when Black Tusk took over Gears of War.

He or she also claims that an Xbox One Bluetooth adapter is on the way, that there has been a deal between Microsoft and the cloud processing company Cloudgine, that Crackdown 3 is being planned for the first quarter of 2016, and that Fable Legends – initially an Xbox One launch title – will be out in the winter of 2015.

Ntkrnl also posted a mock-up of a Titanfall-themed Xbox One bundle, which two other Kotaku sources have said is real. There is already an official Titanfall Xbox One controller.
