Rumor: Xbox Developer Direct to Return With a New Shadow Drop

Rumor: Xbox Developer Direct to Return With a New Shadow Drop - News

Xbox and Bethesda in January 2023 held their first ever Developer_Direct that featured deep dives into previously announced titles The Elder Scrolls Online, Forza Motorsport, Minecraft Legends, and Redfall, as well as shadow dropping Hi-Fi Rush from Tango GameWorks.

Spanish YouTuber eXtas1s is now claiming Xbox is planning to hold another Developer_Direct with plans to showcase multiple previously announced games set to launch this year. This includes Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Towerborne, and more.

The YouTuber is also claiming Xbox will shadow drop another game like with Hi-Fi Rush last year or at least announce a new game with a release date within a few weeks. There was another rumor the next game from Double Fine Productions would be announced at the Developer_Direct.

If Microsoft were to hold another Developer_Direct this month an announcement should be made in the next couple of weeks.

No idea who downvoted you. This is exactly what I am expecting to happen.

With Playstation being hellbend on not sharing what their studios are working on, (aside from Insomniac and their LS games) it might be wise for MS to keep the fans updated. Just don't make it (all) CGI.

MS hasn't really been doing CGI with their trailers since 2020. Plus, last years Developer Direct was all about gameplay, dev interviews, and release dates minus Forza Motorsport, so I would expect the same this time around.
