With its new production studio, Xbox therefore renews its conference called Xbox Developer_Direct. As the name suggests, this is a format dedicated to those who create games within Xbox studios with more detailed presentations of some upcoming games.
What announcements and surprises can we expect from the new Xbox Developer_Direct?
Microsoft has already announced numerous Xbox games and projects in development. This Developer_Direct will focus on 4 of them, and in particular we will deal with the gameplay of the Indiana Jones game developed by Machine Games.
Obsidian’s role-playing game Avowed, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 and Ara: History Untold will also be at the event:
- The Indiana Jones Game: MachineGames, the award-winning studio behind the recent Wolfenstein series, will reveal its next game, Indiana Jones. This is an action-adventure game that will put you in the shoes of the legendary archaeologist. Developer_Direct will contain over 10 minutes of never-before-seen information about the game, including details about the game’s setting and story, how you’ll play as Indy, more details about his upcoming adventure around the world, and the first gameplay trailer. .
- Declared: The team at Obsidian will share more information about Avowed, their upcoming fantasy action RPG, set in the fantastical and vibrant Living Lands. Discover how Obsidian’s expertise in creating worlds with deep themes and dynamic gameplay comes to life in Avowed, giving you the opportunity to make choices that will shape every step of your adventure.
- Ara: Untold story: Oxide Games, the studio founded by 4X gaming veterans and creators of classic strategy and management titles like Civilization V, will reveal exclusive new gameplay and share more details about the inspiration, key features, and future of their next game historical strategy. .
- The Senua Saga: Hellblade II: Ninja Theory will take us behind the scenes in its Cambridge studio to give us an insight into how the teams are designing Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. They will tell us about the ambition and meticulous care that went into creating the journey Senua must survive.
And then there’s this rumor that suggests a surprise similar to last year’s Hi-Fi RUSH, a smaller project that could drop unexpectedly during the conference or shortly after.
We know, for example, that Xbox studio Double Fine is working on at least two new games that had been put on hold to release Psychonauts 2 in 2021. And the studio posted a message on January 4, 2024 to say it had “stuff interesting.” in store that we will share when we are ready.”
Is a shadowdrop of the new Double Fine game possible? We cannot rule it out, especially since the name KILN was registered by Microsoft in 2022 and is the name of a project that Double Fine had presented in a prototype video (below) already six years ago. What coincidences!
KILN is billed as a team-based multiplayer fighting game that focuses on creating unique characters sculpted by players via an ancient pottery wheel. The unique physics of the characters created will play an important role in the fun observed during the games.
Please note that after the event, ZeniMax Online Studios will premiere the biggest update of 2024 for The Elder Scrolls Online, at 10pm (French time), during the Elder Scrolls Online 2024 Global Reveal.
