January 18th 2024.
Good morning everyone, have you heard the exciting news? Today, Microsoft is hosting an Xbox Developer_Direct preview event, where they will be showcasing some of their most highly anticipated games. As we eagerly wait for the event to begin, let's take a moment to speculate on what we can expect to see.
Last year, Microsoft surprised us all with the release of Hi-Fi Rush during their first Xbox Developer_Direct, setting a strong tone for 2023. And now, they are looking to continue that momentum by starting off 2024 with another presentation. However, it has been a bit of a rough patch for Xbox lately, with both Redfall and Starfield not living up to expectations. But with this event, there's a chance that Microsoft could turn things around.
So, when and where can we watch this Developer_Direct? Well, mark your calendars for today, Thursday, January 18 at 8pm GMT in the UK, which will be 12pm PT/3pm ET for US viewers. The event will be live-streamed on the official Xbox YouTube channel, as well as on Twitch and Twitter. It's safe to say that it will be easily accessible for all of us.
But wait, there's more! Following the Developer_Direct, there will be a second presentation from ZeniMax Online Studios, showcasing the next major update for The Elder Scrolls Online. This will be streamed at 9pm GMT in the UK, and 1pm PT/4pm ET in the US. It seems like the Developer_Direct will last for an hour, although this hasn't been officially confirmed by Microsoft.
Now, let's talk about the games that have been confirmed to make an appearance at the event. Obsidian, the developers of The Outer Worlds, will give us a deeper look at their next fantasy role-playing game, Avowed. This highly anticipated game was announced in 2020 and is set to release this year, so there's a chance we could get a specific release date.
We will also get to see the official reveal of the Indiana Jones game from MachineGames, the creators of the modern Wolfenstein entries. There have been rumors that the game will be called Indiana Jones And The Great Circle and could potentially be released this year.
Another game to look out for is Ara: History Unfold from Oxide Games, a strategy title that seems to share a resemblance with the Civilization franchise. And finally, we will get a glimpse of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 from Ninja Theory, the highly anticipated sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Rumors suggest that it will be released on May 21, so we could potentially get a confirmation at the event.
But what else could we see at the Developer_Direct? Recently, there have been rumors about Microsoft's plans for Xbox in 2024, and it's possible that they have a few surprises up their sleeves. One of these surprises could be the Xbox exclusives, Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves, making their way to other platforms. There have also been talks about Final Fantasy 7 Remake finally coming to Xbox this year.
And let's not forget about Elden Ring's upcoming DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, which is rumored to be released in February. While FromSoftware is not owned by Microsoft, there's a possibility that they could have a segment dedicated to third-party software.
There are also whispers about a remastered collection of Gears of War in the works, currently being internally tested by The Coalition. Sadly, we won't be seeing anything from Activision Blizzard at the Direct, as Microsoft has indicated that we will have to wait until later in the year for any news from them.
Well, that's all the information we have for now, but stay tuned for more updates. Don't forget to join us at the Xbox Developer_Direct today at 8pm GMT to catch all the exciting reveals.
