Even though it’s the beginning of the year, video game news is very quiet. Especially on the Xbox side, which has been discreet for a few weeks. But just today Aaron Greenberg lit the fuse on his Twitter.
Shortly thereafter, it’s Jez Corden who follows suit. After mentioning an Xbox speech for January in his podcast in December, he now gives more details about the event. Dubbed “Xbox Developer_Direct,” it was expected to take place on January 25 at 9pm French time.
The format would be different from what the brand has been able to offer in the past. The approach would fit Desiring to improve the frequency and transparency of information about upcoming games“, apart from the big annual meetings. A broadcast that would take place on the green brand’s Youtube and Twitch channels. The show could be co-hosted by Xbox and Bethesda with several “deep dives” on expected titles like redfall, Minecraft Legends etc Forza Motorsport.
We’re the first to be excited for the brand to have its say after weeks of scarcity. However, the giant’s past experiences – the quickly discontinued Xbox 20/20 – and choosing a name that casts doubt on its target audience are sending opposing signals. the “deep dives” are often very technical presentations; interesting, but not intended for the general public. While players are hungry for something new, don’t miss out on service by choosing the wrong dish. If the elements are true, there is no doubt that Xbox will formalize the menu in the coming days.
