Xbox Game Studios |OT6| But wait, there's MORE....studios

So Uruquart was talking about December 2022 when three months ago he said “soon”.?

You do see how that doesn’t really make sense, right? :wink:

The man clearly would have known about these plans to not show any RPG until Starfield is out before he made that blogpost. This would also mean next E3 Fable and Avowed are no shows on purpose solely for Starfield to shine…

With that logic, we won’t see Fable at E3 2023 because it’s then time for Avowed to shine. Nah.

Staffy summed it up pretty well with the last sentence lol.

Hey man, you’re certainly entitled to your view

As are the rest of us, who all think you’re view on this is dead wrong

I mean all we can do is wait and see. MS have positioned it as one RPG per year. And I dont think we see Fable for years and years either

No probs there man. I mean I work in marketing and data so I know how this works, but yea sure lets see how it goes

Dunno if anybody noticed but Psychonauts 2 went back up to 89 on OC making it the highest rated new release this gen.

Where have they specified that?

They have never positioned anything as 1 rpg per year quite simply because it would be ridiculous and we would have to wait 7-8 years at that output for sequels to what would be successful games. Something truly absurd.

And Fable been a thing since 2017, got teased last year and I reckon should be out by 2024 at the latest.

Yeah I don’t recall this at all either.

And not hearing about Fable years from now, come on now, those are some…overly extreme expectations. It’s been in the works for a while now.

No specification, just my own take.

I think its unlikely they release any of those RPGs in the same year. I’m like 100 certain it doesnt happen.

yeah, I am not rolling with the narrative of a RPG a year. I think whenever a game is ready they will release it, but obviously would give something like 3 months apart and not something like 12 months

If it’s not coming out until say 2024+, they wont talk about it until they’re ready. Starfield is closer and will demand the focus and attention

But last year we had Avowed AND Fable cinematic reveal trailers in the same show and I bet that if Bethesda had been at Xbox already and the trailer for Starfield was ready…it would have been shown there too.

Also, Xbox will want to provide some updates for the fans that are waiting for Avowed or Fable and we already had Obsidian talking about something for their game to be shown soon…but then it would be kept away until after Starfield? Doesn’t add up.

And except for a deep dive on Starfield next E3, what other big games from XGS can they show if not for Avowed and Fable? And last but not least, didn’t Grubb list inXile for 2024 or so? Avowed in 2023, Fable in 2024 if we go by what you expect …where does that leave inXile?

2025 for Inxile is my thinking. I gotta work but I’ll detail more of my thinking later.

  • 2022 starfield
  • 2023 avowed
  • 2024 fable
  • 2025 outer worlds 2
  • 2026 inexiles
  • 2027 zenimax’s
  • 2028 elder scrolls next

Is this something how you see it @Hindle ? Seams unrealistic for Microsoft to enforce a one rpg per year mandate when they have so many studios making rpg’s. If a studio wants to make a game that’s not listed above they would have to wait till 2029.

Microsoft is still expanding they should easily get to a point where they release multiple games in a single genre in a calander year.

All work and no play makes Jesse a dull boy. :wink:

Finally got the time to play Pyschnonauts 2… and unsurprisingly it’s excellent.

Giving me some amount of nostalgia.

All seem realistic until the last 3

All of those will be ready around the 2025/26 range, no way is ES6 taking until 2028
