Several of the announced exclusives for the Xbox Series have still not been released after many years. That was supposed to change during the Xbox Showcase 2024, except for one of them.
The Xbox Showcase 2024 will take place on Sunday June 9 at 7:00 p.m. (French time) and will of course be followed on iGamesNews. It is one of the most important summer conferences of the year and a crucial meeting for the manufacturer. Now that Hellblade 2 is out, Microsoft and Bethesda can start the communication plan for their biggest exclusive of 2024. An adventurer who hunts artifacts but also Nazis, and who teaches in his spare time, does that ring a bell? “Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle”, which would be released next December, should have a great exhibition. But other projects in the Xbox series are also waiting for their big success.
An exclusive Xbox Series in poor condition?
Rumors are circulating about the Xbox Showcase 2024, and Gears 6 will probably be there to give the Xbox Series X|S a run for its money. Even in a very action genre, it is now certain that we will see the next FPS from Activision. However, the time available to the game during the conference should be limited, as there will be a Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Direct right after it. The lineup will never be officially announced by the Redmond company, but many are hoping for news on Xbox Series games, which are very quiet.
We’re thinking of State of Decay 3, Rare Studios’ Everwild, the next Fable, maybe even Perfect Dark. According to rumors, the reboot may not be in a disastrous state as previously suspected and could perhaps reveal real images four years after the first teaser. And six years after the creation of the studio The Initiative. But there’s another exclusive whose existence we almost forgot: Contraband. A cooperative open-world game developed by Avalanche Studios (Just Cause) for Xbox Series X|S and PC. After a short video in 2021, the title never resurfaced and wasn’t even mentioned. Worrying?
According to Jez Corden from Windows CentralThe design of the Xbox Series & PC exclusive Contraband would have been pretty rocky for two entirely different reasons. “Contraband has also had a rocky road since its release. This is partly due to the pandemic, but also due to the departure of a key member of the management team.” indicates the publisher. Therefore, we may have to call it a day during the Xbox Showcase 2024 unless the title has managed to raise the bar in recent months.
