All the Xbox Games Showcase announcements

But, until that time, we're here in the run up to chat about what we could see at today's showcase. 

Microsoft is calling it "a huge double feature" with updates on "upcoming games from Xbox Game Studios and our incredible partners around the world". That should mean Xbox Game Studios titles, indies, and more like Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.

Good morning, to the early bird Xbox crew! Josh West here, GamesRadar's UK Managing Editor. The Xbox Games Showcase may be a few hours away yet, but there's quite a bit that we're going to cover here this morning. There's some leaks, some early news, and plenty of speculation. Let's get into it!

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl won't be at the Xbox Games Showcase

If you had asked me on Friday what Xbox Series X console exclusive I was most excited about seeing more of at the Xbox Games Showcase, I'd have probably told you Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Developer GSC Game World appears to be doing a phenomenal job reviving this legendary immersive-FPS series, and I'm desperate for more gameplay. 

Sadly, a GSC representative took to Steam to confirm that Stalker 2 won't be at the Xbox Games Showcase. In fact, it sounds like we might not see it through the E3 2023 season at all. 

A GSC Game World rep said the following, when asked whether Stalker 2 will appear at the Xbox conference today. 

"We usually do not announce or deny our participation in shows, but this one time we'll make an exception. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will miss the June online conferences preferring to make important announcements in the upcoming months. Our plan is to give progressive updates on what we’re planning."

That's certainly a shame but, given the difficult conditions that the game are being developed under, I'm glad that the developers at GSC are working to their own schedule to deliver something they can all be proud of. 

One reason that it's so difficult to predict what will actually show up at the Xbox Games Showcase is that Microsoft has a surprising amount in development. Seriously, for a platform which can't seem to shake the reputation that it has no games, there's a hell of a lot going on behind the scenes. 

Xbox Game Studios is comprised over other 20 video game studios now, and by my count we only know what 10 of them are working on right now. 

Here's the full list of Xbox Game Studios' teams, any one of which could show up today with news or announcements. 

First-party studios who could show up at the Xbox Games Showcase

• 343 Industries
• Arkane Studios
• Bethesda Game Studios
• Compulsion Games
• Double Fine Productions
• id Software
• Inxile Entertainment
• MachineGames
• Mojang Studios
• Ninja Theory
• Obsidian Entertainment
• Playground Games
• Rare
• Roundhouse Studios
• Tango Gameworks
• The Coalition
• The Initiative
• Turn 10 Studios
• Undead Labs
• World's Edge
• ZeniMax Online

You can check out the full Xbox Games Studios list here, which gets into more details on which developers are operating under the Microsoft Gaming banner and what each of them are working on. 

Xbox Games Showcase predictions

Given that we're now just five hours out from the main event, maybe it's a good time to start discussing our Xbox Games Showcase predictions in a little more depth. 

Of all the studios set to make an appearance, we have our sights set on the following teams to make a real splash:

The Initiative (Perfect Dark)
Playground Games (Fable 4)
Obsidian Entertainment (Avowed)
The Coalition (Gears 6)
Ninja Theory (Hellblade 2)

Will Gears 6 be announced at the Xbox Games Showcase?

My biggest question coming into the Xbox Games Showcase surrounding Gears 6. It's been over three years since the release of Gears 5 and another Locust-infused adventure is long overdue. 

The Coalition has been busy in that time. The studio reoptimized the game in time for the launch of the Xbox Series X, and helped get Gears Tactics out the door... but we know it's been working behind the scenes on getting to grips with Unreal Engine 5.

In fact, The Coalition has quickly become one of the developers leading development of Unreal Engine 5 games – both internally at Microsoft and externally, having collaborated with Epic Games on the stunning The Matrix Awakens tech demo. The Coalition is also working with Ninja Theory on Hellblade 2 and Undead Labs on State of Decay 3, so I'd think it's time to see the team's expertise in action on Gears of War 6. 

How big is Microsoft going for the Xbox Games Showcase? BIG. And I mean that in a literal sense. Xbox enthusiast Woggerman is attending one of the Xbox Fan Fest events in Los Angeles and posted a photo of the set-up – monstrous-sized Xbox consoles line the city streets, and they light up! The Xbox takeover of LA is underway.

Back to Gears 6 for a second

What were we talking about before I got distracted by the giant Xbox consoles? Ah, that's right – Gears of War 6. Listen, I wasn't done speculating wildly. 

Like I was saying before, The Coalition is one of the industry-leading studios when it comes to Unreal Engine 5 development. You can check that video out above to see a a cinematic test demo Xbox released in 2022, a showcase of what The Coalition is already achieving with UE5. 

I don't know about you, but there are elements of the character models, atmospheric lighting, and environmental design which scream Gears of War. While there is every chance that The Coalition is working on a new IP for Xbox, it's far more likely that it will continue the adventures of Marcus, Kait, and the rest of the surviving Delta Squad. 

Here's my first bold prediction for the day: Gears 6 is announced with a 2024 release date, revealed with a stunning UE5 in-engine cinematic. 

All gameplay, all the time

Here's an interesting detail worth noting going into the Xbox Games Showcase. Microsoft Gaming exec Aaron Greenberg has said that ""None of our first-party games in the show are full CG trailers... everything is either in-game footage, in-engine footage, or in-game footage with some cinematics. Each of our trailers will be labeled so it is hopefully clear for our fans." 

• All the first-party trailers in the Xbox Games Showcase will feature in-game footage

If Microsoft can be accused of anything, it's that it has a tendency to pull the trigger a little early when it comes to announcements. I recently identified five Xbox Series X exclusives which are long overdue an update – all of which were revealed in either 2019 or 2020 with cinematic trailers and then never seen again. 

It's promising to hear that Xbox is prioritizing in-game footage for the 2023 showcase, which should give us a better idea of what to expect and a better sense of how far each of these first-party games are through development. 

I think we'll see a lot more of Avowed

We first caught a glimpse at Avowed at the Xbox E3 2020 conference and have been desperate for more information ever since. It's one of the key new upcoming Obsidian games, and is reportedly taking up the majority of the studio's time now that Grounded and Pentiment are out the door. 

Set in the realm of Eora, Avowed is a spin-off out of the Pillars of Eternity franchise. Rather than isometric antics though, Avowed will be a full on swords and sorcery RPG, cast from a first-person perspective. 

This is my second bold prediction since I started this liveblog: I think Obsidian will show Avowed gameplay, I think it'll look like a spiritual successor to Oblivion, and I think it'll get a 2024 release window. 

A bonus sub-prediction, Obsidian won't acknowledge the existence of The Outer Worlds 2. 

Will Perfect Dark emerge from the shadows?

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about this Perfect Dark. Microsoft founded a brand-new studio to deliver this reboot, with The Initiative comprised of industry veterans in the action and adventure spaces. Announced in 2020, the new Perfect Dark will reportedly see Joanna Dark entering into a new AAA spy adventure to help thwart an attack on the planet's ecosystems. 

Three years of radio silence has been challenging to navigate though, especially with reports that development had stalled and the further news that Perfect Dark is being co-developed by Crystal Dynamics – the studio behind the excellent rebooted Tomb Raider games. I expect we may see a new trailer which mixes in-engine cinematics and direct-feed gameplay, although a release date may still be a little ways away.  

Will we finally see Fable?

There's a lot of rumors out there suggesting that we will get a big Fable reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase. I think part of that is certainly wishful thinking – it's been 13 years since the release of Fable 3, and a new installment to Xbox's iconic RPG series is long overdue. 

But there is groundswell thanks to a glitter-filled tease from the Xbox social accounts in recent weeks. 

It's been three years since the reveal of this Fable reboot, in development at the Forza Horizon studio Playground Games. So, do I think a Fable gameplay reveal is possible at today's Showcase? 

Not only do I think it's possible, I think it's highly likely that Fable will finally be revealed to the world. My third big prediction is that the Xbox Games Showcase will close with Fable gameplay, a title reveal, and a release window. 

An update on Stalker 2

A reminder just in case you're only just joining us, developer GSC Game World has confirmed that Stalker 2 won't be at the Xbox Games Showcase. While Stalker 2 is undoubtedly one of the biggest upcoming Xbox Series X games, the studio says it wants to focus on development and deliver updates at its own pace. 

Expect to see more Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

I think it's fairly reasonable to expect to see Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty at the Xbox Games Showcase. The price and pre-order details of the expansion leaked recently and, given that CDPR skipped Summer Game Fest, it seems reasonable to predict that we'll get a new look at the game in action and launch details today. 

Whether Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves will appear alongside Phil Spencer remains to be seen though. (We can dream though... yes, we can dream)

It's time for another prediction

While we know what a lot of the Xbox Games Studios teams are working, few have been as under the radar as Compulsion Games. They were acquired in 2018 alongside InXile Entertainment, Ninja Theory, and Obsidian. 

We know that Ninja Theory is working on Hellblade 2 and Project Mara. We know that Obsidian is working on Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2, having already released Pentiment and Grounded. But what is Compulsion doing? That, my friends, is a mystery. 

It's been five years since the release of We Happy Few, so I think it's time for another bold prediction: Compulsion will reveal a new IP that's full of immersive-sim sensibilities and equipped with a distinctive artstyle – oh, and it'll release this year too.

As much as I'd love to see something new from Double Fine and InXile Entertainment, both teams have only just pushed massive games out the door – Psychonauts 2 (2021) and Wasteland 3 (2020), respectively – so I wonder whether it'll be too soon for them to share details. Especially if Microsoft sticks to its guns on not showing cinematic trailers. 

60 Minutes To Go!

Here we go! We're into the final stretch now, folks. The Xbox Games Showcase start time is: 10AM PDT time / 1PM ET time / 6PM BST time /7PM CET time. 

You can watch the Xbox Games Showcase here with us live, or you can head over to the official Xbox YouTube or Twitch channels. 

It's Sam here now, ready to take the reins ahead of the Xbox Games Showcase in an hour. *wave*

Josh has left us in an interesting place with Senua's little face peeking out. It's been a year since Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 gameplay demoed at the Game Awards 2021. It was an epic trailer, with ultra-photorealistic faces, and the usual demonic sheen.

We've only seen a little of the game since, with a small demo of the Unreal Engine 5 tech in action back at GDC in February. The game is definitely overdue a release date, as it was first announced back in 2019. 

Is it me or does that feel like a decade ago?

Just 20 minutes to go friends! We're rewatching old trailers in prep!

Other Xbox games that could make an appearance include some of the 2021 reveals like Contraband, or other games like Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, or even wild cards like Machine Games' Indiana Jones project.

Just a few minutes to go now folks! What are we going to see first?

Don't forget you can tune in via the official Xbox YouTube channel, over on the Xbox Twitch stream

That's a sexy S

And now we're over to the Starfield Direct. 

Head over to Josh on the Starfield Direct live blog and we'll wrap up everything from the Xbox Games Showcase here!

Morning! We're back to document all of the fallout from last night's Xbox Game Showcase - and there's a lot of it to cover.

First up, however, is big Phil Spencer talking about the state of the Xbox Activision deal. Speaking at an event in LA, Spencer said that he remained "confident" that the deal would go through, stating that Microsoft is working closely with regulators to help get it over the line.

From Phil Spencer, we turn to Avowed. Long-billed as a Skyrim successor, Avowed isn't actually aiming to take Bethesda's crown.

Speaking to our friends at PC Gamer, CEO Feargus Urquhart said that his team was trying to create something quintessentially Obsidian, and that might mean sacrificing  size:

"We could go off and create an 8km x 8km open world and then deal with all the consequences of that - because that makes it a different style game [...] we want  to tell more confined stories that the player can experience with their companions, and then move from part of the world to part of the world. And, like I said, in the end, that's us."

Okay folks, let's do this one more time as the Xbox Games Showcase Extended is about to begin! Sam's back with you for one last showcase :)

This follow-up showcase will offer up some deeper dives into just some of the games we saw on Sunday.

According to Microsoft, we're going to hear more about Avowed, Towerborne, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom, and Microsoft Flight Simulator – Dune Expansion. 

I'm personally sad not to see Fable in that list, but learning more about Avowed in particular has piqued my interest. 

Interestingly, Microsoft also teased that we will get some new on other games that didn't feature in Sunday's showcase, alongside "in-depth interviews, behind-the-scenes features, gameplay walkthroughs with brand new footage, and more"

"And you may even see some very special guests show up, perhaps even one celebrity…", Microsoft goes on to tease. Who could that be? We already got Keanu Reeves in the Sunday extravaganza, so who could this be?

Just 10 minutes to go now folks. I have snacks, do you?

It's also worth noting that there is a Forza Monthly presentation in an hour too. "Join us for a special June 2023 edition of Forza Monthly... Forza Motorsport Creative Director Chris Esaki will premiere a gameplay demo of Forza Motorsport’s all-new career mode, Builders Cup, and share more details on the upcoming game. You’ll also hear from Playground Games on the return of Donut Media (@Donut) in the Upgrade Heroes series update for Forza Horizon 5, community race organizer @RacingHaven on their upcoming offseason plans, and more!" 

But right now, it's time for the Xbox Games Showcase Extended.

One minute!

Gotta love Tina Amini's Xbox nails. 

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty up first! 

We're having a walk around Block Market in Dogtown

Block Market is a place you can find new weapons and goods, and they're some of the most deadly in the world. 

New abilities available here too, like air dash. 

Or the option to change your appearance to lose your heat! 

CD Projekt Red has overhauled the police actions too, so you may well need it.

Keanu Reeves is the celebrity!

"Night City has levels to it, and I think Dogtown is going to a darker place. It's dystopian, it has a tension to it, an undercurrent of struggle. Shit's gone down," says Keanu.

Colonel Kurt Hansen seems to be our big bad in this DLC then, eh? 

"Johnny's just looking for a fair shot", says Keanu. "I've got some great speeches."

Did Keanu just double bird us? I'll take it.

On Solomon Reed vs Johnny Silverhand. Solomon's trying to reclaim his life, just like Johnny. "It might start as revenge, and it might end in revenge."

On Phantom Liberty as a spy thriller. It's a scavenger hunt of information. There's double crossing. A question of what's true and what's fiction. 

Tina Amini is a "good egg" according to Keanu.

High on Life DLC is clearly going to be very very weird if this footage is anything to go by.

High on Knife - coming soon.

The Lamplights League and the Towers at the End of the World coming October 3.

Carrie Patel, game director on Avowed, now up!

Avowed has returning characters from Deadfire in particular for people who have played Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2. 

We're still in Eora too.

Couple of companions there confirmed - Kai the battlehardened being one.

Not a Watcher this time, but you do have a connection to the world. 

On the plague - it's devouring the living lands, and it's part of your mission to investigate it and stop it. 

You can play someone who is more magically atuned, or just go pure combat. You can choose the playstyle you want. They want it to feel dynamic.

Dual-weilding pistols confirmed.

How big is it - roughly comparable to The Outer Worlds or Knights of the Old Republic 2.

The First Descent from Nexon Games up now. A new Unreal Engine free-to-play game with a badass bunny-inspired armor set.

This is certainly not a game I'm familiar with but there's customization and revisions to the grapple hook coming based on player feedback.

Launch expected this year, and crossplay beta test this August.

Towerborne up now, from the makers of The Banner Saga. It's a co-op game and everyone's working through the worldmap together. 

The Belfrey is your base. The game is a mix of 2D and 3D. 

It's all about humanity's last chance at survival. It's your mission to hold the forces of darkness at bay.

Adding another player "amplified" the fun in Towerborne. 

It's a seasonal game, so expect new stories with new quests, expanding in a natural, organic way.

You can join the insider program today for Towerborne.

Two new public events coming to Fallout 76. 

Fallout 76: Once in a Blue Moon coming June 20.

Free to play update.

The Blue Moon has risen oven Appalachia, including new cryptids. 

Two new public events to give you the option to earn new rewards. 

And of course, Atlantic City is coming soon, as was announced on Sunday.

Two new game modes coming to Hi-Fi Rush, including Arcade challenge mode and a new Rhythm Tower. So a horde mode?

New costumes, t-shirts, and more too.

All coming July 5.

John Johannes game director for Hi-Fi Rush here now. 

Everything in this mode is unlocked by finishing the game. 

BPM Rush Mode, Power Up Tower Up - the two new modes.

Five new original songs, two new enemies. 

BPM Rush - Hi-Fi Rush's take on a turbo mode. 

200BPM max but they'll ease you in. 

Power Up Tower Up - Chai starts off downgraded and you've got to earn your power-ups back to gradually increase your stats. But, each one comes with positive and negative perks to your gameplay. 

Power-ups change per level randomly too. 

"It's a chonky update"

Zenimax now breaking down The Elder Scrolls Online Necrom trailer.

The Daedric god of knowledge is the big bad in Necrom. 

Some nostalgia from the Dragonborne DLC from Skyrim with the green sky.

Arcanist class is the new one for Necrom. 

All coming June 20.

Phasmaphobia coming to consoles?

Cross platform, cross progression. 

Console Early Access August 2023.

Exoprimal up now.

Taking survey feedback into consideration to influence development. 

Second beta coming soon, check the website.

PvE missions coming in new mode, that'll rotate weekly.

This is a lot of dinosaurs and guns at once. 

New mode is called Savage Gauntlet.

There will be exosuit variants, such as Deadeye and then Deadeye Alpha. Different firing modes and other differences.

Plans to regularly update the game after it launches with new seasons of content. 

July 14 is the release date for Exoprimal.

ID@Xbox's Developer Acceleration Program titles up now.

Lots of great games in here, including Botany Manor, Despelote, Stray Gods.

Flight Simulator up now - sadly not for Flight Sim 2024 but the Dune DLC.

Woah, actual Dune ornithopters!

Partnership started in discussions back in 2021! 

Flight Sim has gone full sci-fi with bringing these to life.

Each blade for the ornithopters has individual controls and thrust.

Secret mission hidden somewhere! 

Pinball-inspired combat game?

Go Mecha Ball coming 2024. 

Oh hey Lies of P. Anyone played the demo yet?

You can create your own weapon by combining blades and handles. 

Each blade and handle has its own Fable art. 

I'm sorry... the P ORGAN?

It's your way to upgrade Pinocchio, but ho boy that's quite a choice of terminology there isn't it.

Hellblade 2 - here's Will Potter, social media for Ninja Theory. 

At the point in the game we saw at the showcase, Senua's at her lowest point and here she needs to find a spark of hope to go on.

Ninja Theory's mo-cap tech has improved A LOT.

"What we want is the best performance possible", "the best fidelity". 

OMG this rig they've made for the boat to mimic the motion is mad!

You can watch the full version of that developer diary on YouTube and I am totally going to.

There it is!

It feels like this is drawing to a close now doesn't it. Just giving me event FOMO.

Oh wait, we're still going. This is Lightyear Frontier, the mech farming game with co-op support.

"coming early 2024".

10 new indie games coming to Game Pass

Another Crab's Treasure, Little City, Big City, Techtonica, Sea of Stars, Harold Halibut, Galacticare, Neon White, Mineko's Night Market, The Book Walker, and The Wandering Village.

33 Immortals from Thunder Lotus up now. The mad game with 33-player co-op. 

This is a live demo. 

Each section has 33 chapters... I think they like that number. Didn't even have enough people in the studio to fill out all 33 slots!

LOL

"As you can see, this is not Spiritfarer".

This does look very cool, very stylish. 

"Cooperate so that the biggest strongest group survives to take on the final boss"

And that's a wrap! Thanks for coming back to join live with us folks!
