The surprise title at the Xbox Developer Direct could potentially be a new entry from a legendary Japanese IP.
With DOOM: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, three hits have already been confirmed for the Xbox Developer Direct on January 23rd. In addition, a surprise title that is still secret is expected to cause a sensation.
According to Windows Central's Jez Cordan, who says the show could potentially be a lot bigger than previously thought, the secret game will be a new entry from a legendary Japanese IP with a decades-long history:
“There is also a mysterious fourth game, and I won't reveal what it is, but our sources suggest that it is a new entry in an iconic Japanese IP that has a decades-long history and many fans happy should do.”
“Indeed, Microsoft has recently received strong regional support from studios such as Square Enix for Final Fantasy, HoYoverse for Genshin Impact, and Sega/ATLUS for Persona, and we suspect this new game will further reinforce that trend.”
