The game changed directors about a year and a half ago so Jason saying “recently” wasn’t actually true.

There certainly will be disappointed people due to Forza being 2023 title. If no Awoved, then it will just pile on…

Well , you only care about JRPG so :joy:

fact or not, this is not the 1st time Jason dropping a bad Xbox news on the same day MS celebrating things. last time he did the same thing in the last MS fiscal report day.

Ambitious projects go through changes all the time. Doesn’t mean it can’t still hit shelves in 2023.

The pandemic sucks. Even ironclad release date stalwarts like Turn 10 are coming in later than we typically expect.

He was asked about avowed showing up and he answered . Nothing more .

Im sure they will have plenty of other titles to satisfy people

If people come out of the conference going “yea but forza 2023, no avowed” then they failed

Then we can expect some acquisition.

No games at launch - Bethesda No games H1 2022 - Activision

No whilst still acquiring ABK. They’d be scared it would backfire.

If and only if Xbox has any studio acquisition… This show is the best time to announce it this year

Note: Don’t reply with not until ABK… I know that :expressionless:

They aren’t doing acquisition announcements at shows anymore and they’d only be able to do that with private companies anyway

Don’t care about acquisitions unless a game is getting announced alongside it

I don’t think that’s true. They acquired 2 more companies after announcing Activision

Another mega publisher like EA or T2 would probably jeopardize the deal but smaller stuff wouldn’t.

Microsoft acquires whenever they can. Unlike Sony they acquire random studios that might even have third party projects in the progress.

Would ABK change much though? Not a single news article or regulator or a senator came out a said anything regarding consolidation in gaming.

And you seriously can’t at this point. We have Sony buying Bungie despite being a bigger entity in the gaming market, we have Embracer with 50,80, 100 (don’t know) studios, we have Tencent with tentacles everywhere. If ABK was 8b and 80b, would it matter? No. The deal is big, but nothing beside that.

Exactly! Microsoft can buy as many studios as they want but if I’m not getting any games then I don’t care.

Schreier deleted that tweet. Maybe he was confusing it with Everwild?

He is waiting for a better timing - after the showcase if Avowed is not shown, people will start asking why and he can come out and say why :joy:

Nah. Americans are waking up now a scanning twitter in anticipation for the show now would be the peak time to drop a bomb for maximum exposure.
