My Xbox Games Showcase Predictions
We’re less than a week out from the Xbox Games Showcase, so I thought I’d dive deep into my predictions for the show which includes game reveals, announcements and release dates.
We’re less than a week away from the BIG Xbox Games Showcase and it’s anyone guess at what could be at the show but thought I’d throw my guess on what could possibly be announced.
First;y. there’s a few studios I don’t think will be there as they’ve just released games , so I wouldn’t expect games from the likes Of Id Software, Compulsion Games and Ninja Theory are just to name a few notable ones.
We’ve been waiting on some games for a pretty long time now, so I think we’ll get some trailers for the following games:
Fable Gameplay Reveal Trailer (Playground Games)
State Of Decay 3 Trailer (Undead Labs)
Perfect Dark Trailer (The Initiative)
Clockwork Revolution Gameplay Trailer with a release window (InXile)
Everwild Returns (Rare)
Gears Of War: E-Day Story Trailer (The Coalition)
The Outer Worlds 2 Release Date (Obsidian)
Next up on the list is the recurring games that either release every year or are currently ongoing service games, I think we’ll see the following:
Sea Of Thieves BIG update focused around a collaboration like the previous Pirates Of The Caribbean update - I think it’s highly likely they have something in the works for SoT after the great launch on PS5 last year,
Overwatch 2 Season 17 Trailer - Overwatch 2 Season 16 is gonna end on June 24th so It’s highly likely they’ll tease the next season or outright show it off
Call Of Duty next game announced
Minecraft Vibrant Visuals Update Trailer And Release Date - the upcoming update has already been somewhat shown off so my guess is we’ll get a release date and some form of reintroduction to the changes coming to the game
I’m bot sure we’ll see a ton of new first party games but Xbox has so much in the pipeline that I could be wrong on that front. Maybe we’ll get a Costume Quest 3 from Double FIne or a Fallout 3 Remaster ready for the upcoming Fallout Show on Amazon Prime.
Third Party publishers like SEGA and Square Enix like to show up in force for these big game showcase and I think this year is no different. Though I do think it’ll be scaled back a bit from other publishers as they may. want to show for Summer Game Fest instead.
Persona 5: The Phantom X - I think this one is coming sooner than we think and it’ll be on the same day as everyone else on June 26th. I also think their gonna be some form of perks included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
FINAL FANTASY 7 Remake - I’ve been making this prediction for years but I think now is the time, especially with the recent announcement of a Nintendo Switch 2 port. I’m gonna double down and say it’s coming to Xbox Game Pass in August
Persona 4: Rewind Announcement and coming to Game Pass on Day One - honestly this feels like the worst kept secret with the domain registration and voice actors confirming they aren’t in the game. Either way I”m gonna be hyped if it does turn up
Zenless Zone Zero new character reveal
When it comes to Indie games, I haven’t got a clue on what will show up as it’s usually a grab bag of a bunch of indie games thrown into a montage.
Lastly we’ll see some downloadable content coming to existing games in the form of Starborn for Starfield and The Order `of The Giants for Indiana Jones And The Great Circle.
2025 has been a crazy year for game so far and it looks like Xbox is gonna deliver some more great games for the rest of the year. Hopefully I get some of my predictions right and don’t make too much of a fool of myself.
Dying Light 2 News Coming Soon
Dying Light 2 might finally be on the horizon after developer Techland has released a statement responding to the departure of one of its longest-serving employees.
Narration Designer Pawel Selinger recently revealed on his LinkedIn page that he had left the company after 22 years at the studio. The news was reported by several outlets with a large portion of them putting him as the lead writer of the game after a recent departure of their prior writer.
Techland responded over the weekend with a statement to PC Gamer, which confirmed the departure of Pawel Selinger but also clarifying his former role: "Paweł Selinger, who has been the Narration Designer for the last two years, decided at the end of 2020 to end his cooperation with Techland and to pursue his further career elsewhere."
The statement continued on: "Paweł spent most of his professional life at Techland and he, among others, takes credit for the success of the series Call of Juarez. He left a large piece of himself with Dying Light 2, as he worked on the project from the very beginning. His duties, ie. the narrative department, were taken over by Piotr Szymanek in October 2020."
the statement also added that there could be some light on the horizon for those wanting news on the game by saying: "We will be sharing exciting news about Dying Light 2 soon!"
Xbox Games With Gold For January 2021
Microsoft has announced the next batch of games coming to games with gold for January 2021 and they're okay, not great though.
the following games are available to grab now if you're a member of Xbox Live:
Little Nightmares (A weird but cool indie game): Available January 1 to 31
Dead Rising (Go Play Dead Rising 4, it's great and super festive): Available January 16 to February 15
The King of Fighters XIII (I'm probably terrible at it): Available January 1 to 15
Breakdown (Had enough of those in 2020): Available January 16 to 31
Games With Gold has been super lackluster since Xbox Game Pass was revealed, Go Get Game Pass Ultimate and treat these additional games as a bonus. Also While we're here, go play Yakuza Zero on the game pass, it's probably the best game on there.
The Year Of Creation
What's up folks and welcome to another blog post. I struggled for so awhile trying to figure out the introduction to this post so I thought I'd just rehash my podcast intro for it.
I have always been able to focus on something and hammer away at it continuously but 2020 kinda took that from me and stomped on it hard. I managed to somehow keep posting daily on Instagram and exercising but everything else went to the wayside.
Content creation is something I’ve always been drawn too and I plan to go bananas in 2021. The Podcast is moving homes from SoundCloud to HelloGhostly.com. This means sadly that either i lose all the current episodes I've created or import them all over, which takes a ton of time. Hopefully, I'll then be able to bring the podcast to more platforms such as Spotify or Amazon Music.
Gaming News is coming back to the website on a weekly basis covering the best news for consoles such as Xbox Series X, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. However, it's gonna be a little bit different as I'll only be covering the news that interests me, and I might inject some opinion along the way.
Lastly, I plan to do another regular feature on the website focusing on content creators in general, I'll be revealing more on that in the near future.
2021 has given me perspective on what's important, My family is always gonna be my first priority but creating is a close second. I plan to create a ton of awesome content over the course of the next year and i can't wait to get started.
