I personally want some megatons. Something that will generate meltdowns. (also maybe I will adjust some expectations after SGF and SoP)
But I think Starfield, Redfall and Contraband and probably Forza Motorsport are the safe bets. Everything else is up in the air.
A surprise Game Pass drop that is huge is always nice, one nobody sees coming. Could be a upcoming game or maybe a somewhat older one or one that previously skipped Xbox, which could be Persona or something else.
Plague tale was rumoroed for june so maybe it drops during the show
Yeah im hoping for a big japanese game.
At this point, if Persona isn’t announced at this Showcase it is never coming on Xbox.
Yeah, I agree. This narrative that “japanese games are not coming to Xbox” should die.
like what?
Agreed. Same with FF7 remake.
Some big third party reveal traditionally associated or expected from Sony’s showcase. Maybe Street Fighter 6 reveal on Xbox showcase. Obvious Persona announcement. Basically something that Xbox usually lacks (and not EA games only).
Dragons Dogma 2!
I don’t know if LEGO would want to be associated with a franchise mostly considered as mature (at least more than Star Wars and Indiana Jones) but there is definitely potential for Fallout to branch into a more friendly line of content without the dark/M-rating.
Without being an exclusive?
I disagree
If its not there they may be saving it for later in the year as that’s supposedly when they are announcing more 25th anniversary stuff and a reliable source has already leaked P3 and P4 for xbox
There’s really no reason for them to release only Soul Hackers 2 and not there bigger titles, like I get this is Atlus who make weird decisions but even here I doubt it
FF7 and FF in general going forward I have zero hope for and nobody else should imo but Persona for the reasons mentioned above and a close relationship with Sega makes it far more likely
There is no hope that any japanese game will be exclusive 
For now we need to reach a stage, where the games don’t skip Xbox.
Lol this is still Atlus. Theyre the most random unpredictable company out there. Whatever makes sense. Atlus doesnt do. Even when you think theyll change
The problem isnt atlus. Its sega. They have no balls or say on what atlus do.
It doesnt have to be exclusive i agree. Scarlet nexus wasnt exclusive. We saw a ton of that game at microsoft events
Here are eight games that I think are a lock for the show:
Avowed Forza Motorsport Contraband Starfield Redfall Pentiment Stoic studio game Plague Tale 2
I’m expecting an August release. The rumored June date was the 17th but the game hasn’t gone gold yet, there’s a 40 minute playable demo being released the same weekend during Tribeca Games Festival and more importantly, there is a physical release so if it was coming out this soon, retailers would have it already or be getting it this week which means it would also be close to leaking.
This 100%. This is why I wish Microsoft would be more aggressive with marketing deals because that would guarantee Xbox gets the game day one. In my mind, they’re too focused on Game Pass and losing sight on the bigger picture which in turn will hurt Game Pass as opposed to helping it.
I agree with this.
We’re sure on the Stoic thing? Was it indicated somewhere that they anticipate revealing stuff on their next project soon?
I think Jez implied that the game is close
