Balls, the rumble is nice but the triggers are a pain in the arse and the battery sucks.

I just need a more reliable Elite with hal effect sticks, microswitch triggers, bumpers and godly back paddles.
I for my part am very excited for a Dualsense from Microsoft.

Well over a year out

One of my most anticipated game, do you know that it's not this year or is this an assumption?

If there's a Horizon game this year then it's probably not gonna be from Playground, they're all hands deck on Fable.

Maybe Sumo Digital can work on one? They've done support work for the Forza games before, right?
I think Playground now have 2 full team, that's why they hired a lot a few years ago no?

I hope we can get a diverse line up of devs from ALL walks of life explaining to us how they have made these games for modern audiences and that we should all look forward to playing as a latinx trans, pronoun using queer in the next gamepass game.

Oh and please, show us HEAPS of behind the scenes views of how these DEI hires work from their homes creating these amazing games!

I would love for them to surprise us with a stealth release of Avowed THAT day instead of waiting until February 18.

Game needs all the help it can get, I dont think a surprise release would do it any favours. Plus the 7 people that preordered the early access edition would probably be pissed.
 
It could be there in general, as the Direct's always have a few more games than the 3, 4 they advertise.

But it doesn't come under the 'unannounced' part.
They're full up on 1st person RPGs this year with Avowed and Outer Worlds 2. Probably will be a 2026 game with another trailer at E3.

Ah, now it's all coming into focus.
The answer is clearly Raven Software announcing Hexen III.

Oblivion is the only ES game I really liked.

I love the Perfect Dark series but I've to admit that transgender Joanna doesn't look that good.

Also I'm a fan of Fable but the main character of the game doesn't look good (and it's not about pretty or not, it's about charisma)...

I'm upset at Xbox but I still own an Xbox so... Bring me games please.

They ain't gonna shadow drop it when they are trying to charge folks for 5 days "early access"
I was really commenting on your "Game needs all the help it can get" and "7 people ordered". I understand the rest though!

Ah I get you. My point stands though. While i think this game looks ok, its up against it with the DEI bullshit.

Cant see there being many preorders either at that price when its on GP.

Old enough to remember when the buzz was that Indiana Jones was definitely going to get delayed.

Fable’s been announced for 2025, and that timeframe was set deep into full development. We’re also well past pandemic related delays.

Until confirmed otherwise, most likely it’s a 2025 release.

The Xbox.com Fable main page says 2025.

What does it mean to be a Hero? Well, in the fairytale land of Albion, that is entirely up to you. With a dark threat looming, your choices will change Albion forever.
Play day one with Game Pass

Would make a nice Christmas game.

I do like the overall vibe from the couple of trailers they've shown.
High hopes for this one.

I don't think it will bare much resemblance to the OG though. Just a hunch.

More of a Witcher feel, according to rumors (though probably fake as hell).

Big respect for Doom, looking forward to seeing this Microsoft banger and to learn what everyone will be eating,drinking, wearing, and sucking while watching the show, I love them threads.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Insider Gaming is saying there will be multiple surprises at the show (or in the coming days, whatever that means).

🤔

As well as the four game announcements, a few other surprises will be announced during the event or in the coming days, Insider Gaming understands.
