  9. What will be the theme of Forza Horizon 5’s first expansion? James Bond
  10. Will XO return? Yes
  11. Will Todd Howard’s E3 presentation on Starfield be over or under 20 minutes long? Under but with multiple follow-up sessions. In fact, I can imagine a lengthy gameplay deep dive immediately following the E3 presentation similar to Nintendo Treehouse.
  12. Will Starfield be delayed? No but it may ship incomplete with expansions coming at a later date.
  13. Which Xbox/Bethesda Studios will announce new games? (Pick 5, 1 point for each correct answer. No Global Publishing). Compulsion, The Coalition, ID Software, Roundhouse, Double Fine
  14. What Xbox Game Studios Games will be nominated at The Game Awards? (Pick 3, 1 point each) Redfall, Starfield, Forza Motorsport (not counting out Pentiment either)
  15. Will Xbox acquire any studios in 2022? Yes
  16. Will Redfall have more than 4 playable characters? (Leaks imply possibly, PR implies no way!) Yes but perhaps not at launch. However, I’d bet on vampires being playable at least in some mode.
  17. Will Forza Motorsport release in 2022? Yes
  18. Will Hellblade 2 release in 2022? No
  19. Will the Xbox release of Deathloop have a subtitle on the end? (i.e. Director’s Cut, Deathinitive Edition, etc.) Sure
  20. Will Xbox announce a new game with a Disney IP (Star Wars, Lucasfilm, etc.)? Not with a XGS or Bethesda studio at the charge at least.
