One thing is for sure. 2026 is shaping up to be one of those legendary years, like 2007.

I this show has been my favorite so far, the pacing was really good, with some exceptions - FO76 and ESO mostly as they were showcasing content that was already out.

With my only other gripe being no Starfield news, as I want to see the dlc sometime this year if possible.

My only real gripe was a new Call of Duty being the one more thing lol. Though I understand why they would want their cashcow to have the spotlight.

My thinking is that because Avowed only just got their roadmap, any DLC will likely be announce closer to the current roadmaps end and come with a new one if possible.

I’m not a CoD fan, but I had no big issue with it as it looked quite cool! I did think it was Project Mara initially, though.

I’m personally not entirely convinced Avowed will get any DLC, since we usually get news about DLC before the game releases.

I liked the latest Black ops. Definitely seems they are leaning into more of the zombies stuff.

I mean it’s the biggest game year in year out, it would be very odd to not have it, it’s what the public will have the most interest in

I thought it looked pretty interesting, I just never been a CoD fan so the closer felt a little flat for me.

That’s true, but a yearly release is not a very exciting game to end on, in my opinion.

All in all a really good show. It didn’t kick you in the balls like last tear’s show did, but that’s ok. So many games shown today are coming day one to Gamepass which is a detail many will overlook, so for me, that elevates my interest in a lot of games I would have otherwise been luke warm or indifferent to.

Also, I want to know more about the ROG Xbox handheld.

There is no reason to empty the chambers on this years show when the release calendar for 2025 and 2026 is already packed.

We would be in the same situation that we were before. Things announced too early and people crying in their Cheerios about it for the next three years.
