Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be released on Oct. 25 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. It’s coming to Xbox Game Pass on launch day, too.

Doom: The Dark Ages

Microsoft and id Software debuted Doom: The Dark Ages, which takes the Doom Slayer back in time. It’s coming to Xbox Game Pass on its launch day, which is expected sometime in 2025. The trailer showed off all the good stuff you can expect from a Doom game — plus what looks to be the Doom Slayer riding a dragon.

State of Decay 3

State of Decay 3 is set “years” after the zombie apocalypse, following up on State of Decay 2. The latest trailer from the game, which was first revealed in 2020, is a peek at what to expect out of the title. There’s no release date yet, though.

Dragon Age: Veilguard

The new Dragon Age: Veilguard trailer set the tone for the upcoming game, showing off a group of allies you can expect to play alongside when the game is released. It’s coming in 2024.

Starfield: Shattered Space (and more)

Starfield’s first expansion looks to tackle the creepiness of space, coming to consoles and PC in 2024. But Starfield is also getting a smaller update with new bounties and other content, created by Bethesda and the Starfield community.

Fallout 76

Fallout 76 is getting a new update, Skyline Valley, where vault dwellers will get to play as a ghoul in early 2025. It’s a new region of Appalachia, with new mysteries abound. It’s out on June 12, and, again, day one on Game Pass.

Sea of Thieves

Sea of Thieves’ 13th season will be released on July 25, when you’ll be able to become an evil pirate — a villain! — on the high seas.

Flintock: The Siege of Dawn

Flintock: The Siege of Dawn will be released on July 18 on Xbox consoles and Windows PC. From the creators of Ashen, the game is an “explosive Souls-lite” with lots of “god-slaying action-RPG” gameplay.

Age of Mythology: Retold

Age of Mythology, from the creators of Age of Empires, is more than history: It expands into mythology and the worlds of “gods, monsters, and humans.” It’ll be released on Sept. 4 on Xbox Series X and Windows PC.

Perfect Dark

Perfect Dark is back! It’s the first look at Perfect Dark’s gameplay since it was announced, and it didn’t disappoint. There’s no release date.

Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred

This October, a new character class, region, and story come to Diablo 4 with the Vessel of Hatred expansion. Blizzard Entertainment debuted the opening cinematic during the Xbox Games Showcase — an emotional, devastating, and gruesome return to the world of Diablo.

Fable

Microsoft showed off a cheeky trailer for Fable, which is expected out in 2025. Unfortunately, still no release date for this one.

Fragpunk

Fragpunk is a five-on-five shooter with a twist: cards. It’s coming in 2025.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Finally, a look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. There’s a boulder! It’ll be out on Windows PC and Xbox Series X in 2024 — but no official release date.

Mecha Break

It’s not Gundam, but it looks like it! It’s out in August.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Announced at Xbox Games Showcase, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a soulslike set in the late Ming Dynasty. It’ll be released day one on Xbox Game Pass in 2025.

Avowed

“Explore the Living Lands, a mysterious island filled with adventure and danger” is how Microsoft described Avowed on YouTube. “As an envoy of Aedyr, you are sent to investigate rumors of a spreading plague with a secret that threatens to destroy everything.” Coming in 2024.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the next installment of the iconic franchise, to be released on Nov. 15 on Xbox consoles and Windows PC. The first look at the game’s gameplay shows a ton of promise.

STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl

GSC Game World, from Ukraine, will be released on Sept. 5. The developer described the game as having a “huge, borderless open-world and a non-linear story.”

New Xbox Series X consoles

There’s now a 2TB SSD Xbox Series X, an all-digital Xbox Series X with a 1TB SSD, and a 1TB SSD Xbox Series X.

Gears of War: E-Day

Gears of War: E-Day looks as brutal as ever, but the trailer had some touching moments of teamwork and camaraderie, too, despite a world in chaos. It’s the sixth installment of the franchise, but there’s no release date just yet.

Doom and Perfect Dark are the only things that really have me interested, and Im not even an FPS guy.

Wish I could get excited for MGS3 Remake, but....Konami, and no Kojima.

Dragon Age and Indy are games that should excite me, but the red flags are glaring for both.

Never got the love for Fable TBH.   More empty promises than anything else.

Good summary/breakdown.

General consensus online seems to be that this has been probably the best Xbox Showcase in maybe 5+ years. While not everything was my personal cup of tea, I was interested/engaged pretty much the entire show. Loved that they didn't spend 20% of it with corporate talk and fluff with someone on stage like we normally see at these shows.

Excited to play Fable/Doom/Gears/Expedition33/Wuchang the most.

Glad they're going a new direction with Gears. One of my all time favorite series, but the last few games the story kind of stunk. Don't have an Xbox but may have to get one when that comes out.

Im interested in State of Decay 3, the Starfield expansion and maybe the new Fable game. Other than that none of this really peaks my interest. 

God I hope they nail State of Decay 3, was so into the sparks of greatness you could see in the franchise with the first one. For it to be a full blown version of that, while taking advantage of the visuals UE5 can bring, I’d be so happy

Can’t wait

State of Decay 3, as stated above it could be great.

Fable, think they might’ve been able to do it over at Playground 

South of Midnight, my type of game…cool style

AC Shadows, easiest layup Ubisoft has ever had. Glad they finally are giving us a game here.

 

Will play

Cod BLOPs 6 (if they remove the erroneous ban I got)

Doom The Dark Ages, never been super big into it but that shield looks fun. Prequel makes it easier to get into.

Dragon Age, BioWare will always get my attention.

Indiana Jones, still don’t get the choice to go first person. But they are hitting enough marks there

Gears of War E-day, like Doom I’ve never really gotten into Gears. But love the idea of a prequel like this

Expedition 33, combat looks up my alley and sure is pretty 

Mixtape, music and vibes made it an easy sell

 

Maybe

Perfect Dark, will continue to perplex me while they felt the need to give it a huge budget reboot. Looked solid but has had one helluva rocky development 

Flintlock, looks like a solid two week game for me. Release date will be key

Stalker 2, some really good stuff in the trailer…just not sure I’ll bother playing it yet.

Avowed, continues to puzzle me. Look is so disconnected from what I guess I thought it’d be

Wuchang, looks cool. But me and soulslikes aren’t the best combo.

Ya, SOD2 was more technically advanced than the first one, but something about the first one was much more fun. I hope they can find a good balance and also bring some innovation to it.
