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.
Skull & Bones Is Delayed Into 2022-2023
During Ubisoft most recent earnings results last night, the publisher revealed that "Skull & Bones will now be released in 2022-2023" with the chief financial officer Frederick Duget elaborating on it further by saying: "We strongly believe in the team’s creative vision and they have been given an increasingly ambitious mandate for the game. Production led by [Ubisoft] Singapore has been advancing well over the past 12 months and the promise is better than ever. The additional time will allow the team to fully deliver on its vision."
on a positive note, Ubisoft seems to still be confident in the project, with CEO Yves Guilletmot saying: "What we have been doing to make sure they could really come strongly with Skull & Bones is we increased the associate studios that are working with them at the moment so there’s a good and big team now working on the game and the last 12 months have really been good in terms of the way things were coming along, so we are confident they can really bring something really exceptional for the market."
As someone who found the pirating aspect of Assassin's Creed Black Flag the worst part of the game, I'm personally not really interested in the game but it makes sense to continue development, especially after the success of Sea of Thieves. It shows there is a demand for this type of game, it's just not my cup of tea.
EA Teases Battlefield 6 reveal for June
EA and DICE are seemingly teasing a reveal for Battlefield 6 coming next month according to the game's official Twitter account.
In an extremely brief teaser, they tweeted "Words that rhyme with Soon: June. Boom." My guess would be that the game will show up at E3 2021 and i think it'll be available on Xbox Game Pass. Notable the EA Play addition on Game Pass Ultimate shows on the app to claim by 02/06/2021 which could mean when EA Play leaves the service but that's speculation. Hopefully, I'm wrong on that one but it wouldn't surprise me if EA Play was removed from Game Pass Ultimate and then Ubisoft Plus is added.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout's Next crossover is with Bethesda's Doom
Devolver Digital and Mediatonic have announced that Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is crossing over with Bethesda DOOM.
From January 12 a collection of Doom-themed costumes will be available in the in-game store, including Doomguy, a Cacodemon, and a Cyberdemon. This is the latest in a line of crossovers with other gaming properties since the game launched, including such games as Untitled Goose Game and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is currently in the middle of its third season on PlayStation 4 and PC.
