No idea but I don’t want to jinx any dates.
People way smarter than me could probably figure out the dates.

The Xbox E3 show is happening, FH5 segment begins and the developer shows gameplay and then after the segment ends he goes “and everyone with an Xbox or Game Pass can take in the sights of Mexico starting…now.” surprise release. Imagine that. Not saying it will happen, but with how big Game Pass has become maybe Xbox can afford to just shadow drop a gigantic game like that without any real marketing campaigns.
Forza’s typically drop in the September slot. So we could pencil it in from there. FH4 was September 2018.
Halo launches in November to celebrate 20 years of Halo and Xbox.
So I guess we could figure out other dates from there.
Yep, September is extremely likely. Probably October for Starfield, maybe also Wolf 3. Or perhaps they keep Wolf 3 for December or early 2022. I just hope so much that Starfield makes it out this year, badly want to play a proper BGS game!
Aight, now I’m going back to Shingeki no Kyojin.
So my theory is this:
July: Grounded 1.0, Psychonauts 2
August: AOE IV (PC) / Flight Sim Console
September: Forza Horizon Mexico
October: Starfield (possibly) / Wolf III (Possibly)
November: Halo Infinite
December: Either Starfield or Wolf III.
I think if Wolf III is this year they slot it in October and round out the year with early/mid December Starfield to really get it on the Christmas season and to get it as much time as possible in 2021.
I think Forza will release october with Age of empire also Halo and Starfield on november
AOE4 is fall and I doubt we could expect both Starfield and Wolfenstein 3 this year.
The safest bet is that Wolf III is either this October with Starfield in early (AND i MEAN EARLY) 2022, or vice versa.
Something from Bethesda is in the October slot probably.
I hope, it would be great if you think where we are now with release dates. XD
Y’know, I could see this event being a PC acquisition. Wasn’t it rumoured a while back that publisher would get acquired? Began with a P think and they make lots of strategy games?
Paradox is who you are thinking of.
I have been doing a little thinking and I can absolutely see now the post being a new partnership between Paradox and Microsoft. This would tie into a confirmation of commitment towards PC gaming and @Shpeshal_Nick did say he had heard there were talks taking place. It would also allow Matt Booty to say that the store is being revamped as well and not look out of place for him to break the news.
Thank you!
Yeh I could totally see:
I just can’t see it just being a blog post just to say they are committed without something of substance being revealed. I would also add that if it is any sort of agreement between Paradox and Xbox it is something that cannot be held until E3 due to Paradox being a public company.
I don’t think MS would want to acquire them, they are worth more than 2 billions and don’t have gamepass seller IP
Yeh but they need PC developers. They don’t really need IP. Xbox have a ridiculous amount of unused IP.
Xbox already have a lot of PC developper
I know it’s probably just an overhaul of the store, but the fact that Booty is presenting it is weird, even if he is writing the blogpost.
That wouldn’t be his wheelhouse presenting the new PC store.
That’s why I think it is probably not about the store overhaul, or that is not the only thing. Matt Booty is all about content, so I think that is going to be the main crux.
But there is PC content though.
Flight Sim is STILL only on PC for a few months and AOE IV is scheduled this year as only on PC.
This having to “reaffirm PC commitment” is sus because Microsoft has already proved it. TWICE.
Forza/ Forza Horizon are a constant franchises, why don’t they get announced like other similar franchises (COD, BF … etc) ? Teaser, Confirm release window before E3 and even gameplay demo. I believe first Forza Horizon was announced on early 2012/ Forza 6 on January 2015 and was a very great idea.
