Xbox Developer Direct Announced For The End Of The Month, Featuring A “Brand New” Game – WGB

Xbox is seeking to begin off 2025 with a bang, asserting a Developer Direct that’s set to indicate off a few the corporate’s largest upcoming titles.

The dwell stream will kick off at 6:00 p.m. UK time on January twenty third.

On the agenda now we have Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and a fourth sport that Xbox is just not naming.

It’s the thriller fourth sport that has my consideration, although. Xbox has a number of large titles due out this 12 months like Fable and Avowed, however these are publicly introduced video games so would Microsoft actually play up the thriller like this if it’s simply one in all them? No, this seems to be a unnannounced new venture, because the official put up suggests when it says that we’ll “go to a shock location to see one other studio’s model new sport.”

Rumours have begun circulating as soon as once more a few remaster/remake of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, which was first noticed again in 2020, so maybe we’ll be checking in with the crew at Bethesda to get our first-ever glimpse of that? Then once more, with so many studios underneath the Xbox umbrella, who is aware of what will probably be.

And, in fact, there’s the ever-present concept that concept that some or al of those video games would possibly flip up on PlayStation down the road.

Right here’s the official rundown from the Xbox Wire blog post about what to anticipate:

“DOOM: The Darkish Ages – Developed by id Software program, DOOM: The Darkish Ages is the prequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM (2016) and DOOM Everlasting that tells the epic cinematic origin story of the Doom Slayer’s rage.
