#XboxGamesShowcase #XboxSeriesX
Microsoft held its July 23 Xbox Series X games event, and it featured tons of game news. Unlike the May presentation that was devoted exclusively to third-party games, this event focuses primarily on Xbox Series X games from Microsoft's own studios, including launch title Halo Infinite. GameSpot is also hosting post-show livestream to discuss everything surrounding the big reveals, so be sure to stick around afterward.
Halo Infinite was the first game shown during the Xbox Games Showcase. Narrated by Cortana--or possibly Dr. Halsey--as we see the Master Chief's armor constructed, the teaser led directly into a gameplay demo. The Banished have taken over the ring world and the heroes will need a slipspace drive to leave. A grappling hook and a few new weapons were also on display. 343 wants this game to be the platform for the next 10 years of Halo rather than stick to numbered installments.
Fable is finally back, and as rumors suggested, it's being developed by Playground Games of Forza Horizon fame. It looks like the series' dry humor is fully intact.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 will be set in Iceland and is built using Unreal Engine 5. Gameplay was not shown, but the development journey will be chronicled on Ninja Theory's YouTube channel.
Avowed
Obsidian's next large-scale role-playing game was shown during the event. A dark game that features skeleton enemies and a first-person perspective, Avowed premiered during the event with a trailer and also makes use of magical abilities. No release date was given, but it is promised as an "expansive" RPG and is being built from the ground up to take advantage of Xbox Series X.
Turn 10 Studios is early in development on its next Forza Motorsport title, and it was premiered with an in-engine trailer. As expected, it looks to be a near-photorealistic racing game that makes the most of Xbox Series X technology.
In this video Dreamcastguy rants about his reactions to the Xbox Games Showcase and compares it to the PlayStation 5 reveal event with reaction and impressions of gameplay.
Undead Labs premiered State of Decay 3 during the Xbox Games Showcase. The next entry in its open-ended zombie survival series looks to be just as dark, and the teaser we saw focused on a survivor scouting through the wilderness until she comes upon an undead deer.
Medium
Previously revealed at an earlier event, Medium was showcased during the showcase. We got a sense of the mysterious events that seemed to take place before the game began, ending in a gunshot. The nightmare scenario can be lived by the titular Medium who seems to be looking for a way to change history.
Tetris Effect: Connected
Tetris Effect is finally coming to Xbox as Tetris Effect: Connected, and it's bringing multiplayer to make the experience even better. What hasn't changed are the gorgeous visuals and emotional soundtrack, as well as the series' classic gameplay. With your friends' boards right by yours, however, it could get more frantic. It's out this holiday season
Stalker 2
Launching exclusively on Xbox platforms, Stalker 2 is finally real. Set in the irradiated area of Chernobyl made infamous by the nuclear disaster, the long-awaited sequel features heavy science-fiction elements. Creatures are shown growing in underground labs and one brave explorer ventures into the unknown.
Destiny 2 continues to get even bigger, and if you want an easier to play, you will have it soon. Xbox Game Pass will support Destiny 2 on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and mobile via the cloud. The new version of the game on Xbox Series X will support 4K and 60 frames per second, and the expansions will also be included via Xbox Game Pass.
Jack Black is featured in Psychonauts 2, and the actor will also be letting his golden pipes do some work by singing in the game. He stars as a golden Navi-like wisp but keeps his signature deep voice for his songs.
Independent studio Interior/Night debuted its game As Dusk Falls during the presentation. The game spans a 30-year period in the American Southwest and focuses on family and sacrifice. It uses a watercolor-like art style, and is described as an "interactive drama.
