This presentation be focused exclusively on the gameplay of the titles next-gen that will come to Xbox Series X. It will be the first time that we see these video games in depth and movement. The company's tweet specifies that there will be live gameplays with the "associated international developers" -that is, third-party development, no games of their own– although it is not detailed exactly which games will be shown specifically during the broadcast.
Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed: Valhalla be one of the video games shown at the event on Thursday, something that we already imagined when we saw that in the cinematic trailer that was published today – the first look at the Ubisoft game, in fact – the Xbox Series X logo appeared both at the beginning and at the end; This is a clear sign of a trade agreement between the two companies.
Another game that has a commercial agreement with Microsoft is Elden Ring, the new From Software that we haven't seen any gameplay yet. The Inside Xbox on May 7 may be a good time to release its first gameplay trailer.
As Phil Spencer said …
A few days ago Phil Spencer He dropped into his personal Twitter account that we wouldn't have to wait long to see the Xbox Series X presentation and, in fact, detailed that the digital event would be entirely focused on video games: "The team is doing a great job and adapting," Spencer said a few days ago. It should be remembered that Microsoft had to cancel all its face-to-face events for logical reasons, given the current global pandemic of COVID-19 that prevents the celebration of mass acts.
The head of the Xbox brand was also excited by the company's plans, promising in passing "transparency" and "authenticity". She emphasized that the first look at Xbox Series X was going to focus on games, making it clear that they did not fall into past mistakes, and that there was not long to wait for it.
