Microsoft’s annual Xbox Developer_Direct presentaton is scheduled for subsequent week. When it arrives, it will likely be bringing information on DOOM: The Darkish Ages, South of Midnight, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, to not point out the reveal of a thriller fourth title. Apparently sufficient, nonetheless, that may not be the extent of the present’s shock bulletins.
The exact same has been urged by journalist Jez Corden, who claimed in a latest tweet that the upcoming presentation might “possibly” embrace “a couple of shock”, earlier than doubling down on the “possibly” in a follow-up tweet.
Each earlier Xbox Developer_Direct showcases to this point have featured 5 video games apiece, so it wouldn’t shock us to see Microsoft sticking to that sample. The query, after all, is what that hypothetical fifth recreation is likely to be. The fourth thriller recreation is allegedly a brand new entry in a “legendary” Japanese franchise, in order that, mixed with the presence of Expedition 33, suggests it doesn’t essentially must be a first-party title.
Xbox Developer_Direct 2025 is ready for January 23, so we’ll have our solutions quickly sufficient. Keep tuned for extra particulars.
