Iā€™m not sure I believe that yet for Perfect Dark (I know thatā€™d be five+ years) but I definitely agree on the other two.

Thinking Everwild in 2022, Fable in 2023 and PD in 2024 right now but maybe some are further ahead than I think.

PD is further ahead than people think.

Do you know some stuff ?

Considering that it was only officially confirmed in December, itā€™d be pretty amazing if it came out before 2024.

Before he left Drew Murrayā€™s daughter played an hour of Perfect Dark one night. He tweeted about it.

Yeah, I remember that. Actually feel like it was a decent while before he left.

It was late summerish, maybe early fall?

Looks like toward the end of September.

(and of COURSE thereā€™s an article about a Twitter postā€¦) side note, everytime I see the game rant url I think ā€œgamer ant.ā€

I mean, Iā€™ve played games that were ā€œPlayableā€ even in their ridiculous early state, but if you have a super really early polished section, throw a snip.

Just a snip.

When the game is playable from start to finish, it could still be a year from release. The last 10% of the development of a game take 90% of the time or something like that. It could be ready as soon as next year. I really hope it releases next year.

Agreed. And Iā€™m hoping for holiday of next year for that one. Also feel like Fable has a shot at 2022 as well. After the blowback from Halo, I think they wonā€™t show much game play early. And if it means more time spent on the games to get them finished, Iā€™m all for just cgi stuff until the last couple of months. With streamers, itā€™s super easy to see game play when something launches now, get an idea what you like.

Or it could be a year or two after its release, ala Grounded. :stuck_out_tongue: :sunglasses:

PD is expected to be a big game like Gears or Halo with a full campaign, multiple modes, coop (maybe) and multiplayer. I donā€™t know how they will manage to get the whole package done in a full release. Iā€™m thinking that it might be a service game with the multiplayer coming afterwards or something like that. Idk.

Itā€™s kind of hard to imagine what will be the new Perfect Dark, as the old games were actually imagining the future we live now !!

In my head Xbox has a ā€˜Fated Fourā€™ of first party big hitters:

Hellblade 2, Everwild, Avowed and Fable. Bethesda, Halo and XGP not included (I know that might seem arbitraryā€¦), these 4 have got to be the first 4 big ones we see right?

Ya those SHOULD be the next 4 BIG games besides halo, Bethesda, age of empire 4 and forza. I had previous expected 3 of them to release in 2022. Now Iā€™m hoping for at least 2 to hit next year.

Iā€™m expecting so much from these games, they have everything to be something else.

Hellblade 2, Everwild and Avowed will hit next year for sure.
