Microsoft Gaming CEO in an interview at Tokyo Game Show 2025 last week revealed there are four highly requested classic IPs from Xbox that fans want to see revived.
He noted fans want to see two Xbox 360 JRPGs, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, as well as Crimson Skies and MechAssault to make a return.
Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey were developed by Mistwalker, a studio founded in 2004 by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi. Blue Dragon released for the Xbox 360 in 2006 and Lost Odyssey released a year later in 2007. Blue Dragon would see two entries release for the Nintendo DS in 2008 and 2009.
Crimson Skies is an action aerial combat video game series. The original released in 2000 for PC, while Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge released for the Xbox in 2003.
MechAssault is a mech-brawler action franchise. The first entry released for the Xbox in 2002 and the sequel, MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf, released in 2004.

And the one that will see a new release shall be….
None of the above!
Oh, is one of them like, idk, PERFECT DARK?????
None of them from Rare. -_-
Perfect Dark was one of them.
I would love to see a return of Crimson Skies, Mech Assault and CONKER.
Considering how often an old, dormant IP comes back just as great as it once was... I don't think fans know what's good for them lol.
Of all of the IPs they own, my most requested revivals include Conker, Perfect Dark ☹️, Prototype, and Dishonored. There are a few other games I wouldn't mind seeing revived but these are my top.
i own digital versions of Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. they should add them to gamepass
Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey def deserve remasters. Fantastic games.
Guitar Hero 1 and 2 remake?
they should really just make a new Skylanders
Why? They made 40 billion mediocre games until the TTL market was beyond dead
Skylanders is severely underrated. Collecting those figures at only $10USD was so much fun! The battle mode was also among the best multiplayer I’ve ever played.
Those figures would be $20+ today.
