Gaming News Xbox: A late January conference with highly anticipated games? Minecraft, Starfield, Forza, Redfall… coming soon!
This is the big rumor of the evening and should startle fans of the Microsoft and Xbox series. While his absence from the 2022 Game Awards was painfully noticed, the Seattle giant could be drawing very quickly this new year! According to indiscretions from Windows Central editor Jez Corden, Microsoft will propose an entirely new presentation format for these future titles. And it’s obviously planned for very soon!
Hop, we’ll take the tweezers of severity. Although the information isn’t official at the moment, the Redmond-based company intends to present its future headlines at an event called Xbox Developer_Direct. Although more intimate than an E3 conference, the initiative would provide an interesting indication of the manufacturer’s intentions for the coming months. Information released by Windows Central, we determine that the event would be an opportunity to learn more about highly anticipated games. In particular, we are talking about Forza Motorsport (note the name), Redfall or even Minecraft Legends. Nothing says there won’t be others, but these will be – a priori – the most important. ZeniMax Online Studios should also take the opportunity to present new content.
Microsoft, the calm before the storm?
Although discreet for some time, Microsoft is preparing for a strike. No doubt scalded by the bickering with Sony (over its Activision Blizzard acquisition), the Washington state company probably has no intention of turning a cheek. Things have been brewing for a while and 2023 seems like the perfect time to react. With hostilities starting in January, Microsoft would definitely have a good response for its community, a bit like Nintendo’s Nintendo Direct and Sony’s State of Play for its PlayStation branch.
According to Jez Corden’s sources, the Xbox Developer_Direct event will be streamed on Twitch and YouTube on January 25 at 9 p.m. For Microsoft, 2023 should be a big year with the arrival of several major licenses. In addition to those previously presented, a certain Starfield is waiting on the launch pad and there could be talk of the Xbox Game Pass. Stay tuned, the official Developer_Direct announcement is scheduled for this week!
