Microsoft has set a date for its next gaming showcase. Its second Developer_Direct event will include more details on Avowed, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II and strategy title Ara: History Untold. MachineGames will at long last reveal details about its Indiana Jones game.
The Wolfenstein studio will offer up over 10 minutes of game and developer insights. Along with the first gameplay trailer, we’ll learn about the story and setting and find out just how you’ll control the legendary archeologist.
On the Avowed front, Obsidian will take a deep dive into some gameplay from the action RPG, which should hit Xbox and PC this year. We’ll see gameplay from Oxide Games’ Civilization-esque Ara: History Untold too. Last but not least, Ninja Theory will offer a behind the scenes peek at Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.
The first edition of Developer_Direct took place last January. It was then that Microsoft both announced and suddenly released Hi-Fi Rush, one of the most highly rated games of 2023. Perhaps Microsoft will have a similar surprise up its sleeves this year.
One thing’s for certain though: there won’t be any updates on Activision Blizzard games. Xbox says its freshly acquired publisher will have news to share later this year.
The Developer_Direct will start at 3PM ET on January 18, and you’ll be able to watch it on Xbox’s and Bethesda’s social channels. Afterwards, at 4PM ET, Elder Scrolls Online fans can tune in to a global reveal to find out what’s coming to the MMORPG in its next major chapter.
