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

The man wants to make a AAA sci-fi “surival adventure” on a desolate colony cut off from Earth.

Given Phil’s reverence for Mikami, I consider this as good as guaranteed in the pipeline. I’m not expecting it after Ghostwire, and perhaps not even after the game follow that - but I do expect to see it some day.

If Mikami is getting closer to retiring and Noah is the dream game that he wants to do as his finale, I would think that it would be after Ghostwire Tokyo. Why wait when that game will probably take five years or so and Mikami isn’t getting any younger? So if that’s what he wants to do, it should be started once Ghostwire Tokyo releases on PS5. Keep a small team for updates and the Xbox port while the main team with Mikami starts working on Noah.

Hoping for this to start immediately after Ghostwire Tokyo with John Johanas leading The Evil Within 3!!! Really hoping all this actually happens as I will be one very happy gamer!!!

Yeah I’d chalk that one up to whatever is going on with the forum/servers. Now if only those fools would get on fixing that…. What’s that? It’s us… oh yeah, my bad….

@mcolt

Of all Xbox studios, this is the one I’m most excited about. If only they can release a game every couple of years!

Still, if their game comes out 2023 I can manage.

This is inXile , right? I think most of us have that for 2024, so it’s all good

2024 sounds about right to me.

So what you are saying 2027

@mcolt

I don’t know.

From what I remember hearing from Brian Fargo, I think they were planning it for 2023.

This would be project Cobalt or the other game by them?

I don’t disagree I’d like to see the game in production ASAP, but afaik there is no concern around Mikami retiring from the industry altogether.

He already considers himself retired as a Game Director, but he’d come back to work on this opus.

Whether it’s right after Ghostwire or after the game after that, when the time comes, best believe Xbox will move heaven and earth.

I don’t think people realise what cushy position Mikami is in right now. He’s basically in the spot as Fargo. Before the acquisition, he was probablygoing to retire in a couple years. Now, he’s playing with house money and gets to make whatever he wants.

We are about to loop back into Fallout dialogue

@Roronoa_Zoro90

That’s something new to talk about, no more Gears is dead please, the next game will be out in 2024 at minimum. XD

Anyway, the director of this new Tango game was the director of TEW2, so TEW3 is likely?

Who knows, it can also be a completely new IP. To be honest I am OK with both outcomes, I’d love a TEW3 (with Kidman as the protagonist!) but I’d welcome any new IP from them.

It’s really good news that they are already working on their next game regardless, Phil has to just park the dollar trucks outside Tango because I have complete trust on Mikami-san and Johanas to deliver a great game.

Also I just realized that if TEW3 becomes a reality MS will be the only platform holder with a AAA horror IP in their 1st party portfolio.

I agree. I would just prefer to see Mikami make his game sooner rather than later to ensure that it’s happening as opposed to waiting and then something happens, and next thing you know, it doesn’t happen. Just have to wait and see what happens.

Watch them announce Fallout 5 next year! They can do it!

[ProgStopper]

Hot Take:

Get Nightdive to remaster the games on console with gamepad controls + achievements and drop it onto Xbox Live next year as Fallout 1 + 2 25th Anniversary Edition.

Don’t give Todd any ideas… They could package it with Fallout 3 (remaster), Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. Call it the Vault Edition.

Would find a way to include Skyrim

For sure, lol.

The 25th Anniversary Fallout Vault Edition (also Skyrim)!

“Trouble at XGS? Xbox not doing enough to speed up time for its developers”

They should get their devs to team up / outsource other devs! It’s so stupid that they don’t!

…the original concept of “Noah,” he says, maybe he would.

"My thinking is that if I had a chance to make a game from the beginning to end that’s completely my vision, then definitely, that would be my big last project as a director,” he says. “It would probably be more fitting as that ‘last game I direct’ kind of thing.”

The man wants to make a AAA sci-fi “surival adventure” on a desolate colony cut off from Earth. Given Phil’s reverence for Mikami, I consider this as good as guaranteed in the pipeline. I’m not expecting it after Ghostwire, and perhaps not even after the game follow that - but I do expect to see it some day. And I hope a team at Initiative will co-develop. Put Mikami in charge of shaping his vision and give him a team of some of the industry’s best and brightest work with.

This sounds awesome. No way Phil isn’t on board for this. Can’t wait to see it!
