Post in development as the event progresses
Xbox and Bethesda already go hand in hand everywhere, and it is not for less. It is one of the most powerful associations in the industry since the Redmond company bought the creators of ‘Starfield’. And for an hour and a half they have presented some of their next releases in an event brimming with titles for all tastes. Indies, franchises, new IPs… this has given this year’s Xbox & Bethesda Showcase.
Redfall
The event kicked off with a first-person vampire action game from Arkane reminiscent of John Carpenter’s legendary ‘Vampires’ in certain respects, but with more mystical elements. Players will be able to face both bloodsuckers and cultists who yearn to become immortal, in what looks like an FPS with tactical elements that can be faced alone or in squads of four. Imaginative skins and spectacular weapons coming in early 2023 and playable, like many other things seen today, from day 1 on Game Pass.
Hollow Night: Silksong
The indie myth of impossible platforms and adorable graphics returns. A title that promises to preserve all the visual strength and sinister breath of its predecessor. Available from day one on Game Pass for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming, but no release date has been announced, not even a hypothetical 2023. Metroidvania in its purest form for a game that launches at the safe thing not touching anything that worked perfectly in its predecessor.
High On Life
Fun and galactic action at the hands of the creators of ‘Rick and Morty’ (in fact, it was clearly Morty’s voice that was heard in the video). A title that replaces the technical spectacularity of other titles with humor and wackiness, in a game full of hilarious details that proposes that it be the weapons that have a life of their own. Guns with mouths and eyes (and sadistic comments) for a game that promises sarcastic madness by the bucketload.
A Plague Tale – Requiem
Another sequel to an indie game of indisputable prestige: the wonder of Asobo Studio that is presented with a new gameplay where the stealth and puzzles that characterized the first installment return. It also seems that the action has increased, since Amicia has more resources to face the dangers, and Hugo can control the pests with his powers. Launch scheduled for this same 2022.
Forza Motorsport
Forza Motorsport is back for 2023. You might have expected the next installment of this driving simulator to take a big step forward, but what Microsoft has shown is even more spectacular than we anticipated. And it is that for the first time this saga promises us to dynamically adjust the light during the races and a ray tracing that, on paper, should give the images greater realism than any other installment has offered us so far. of this franchise. Even the green environments are, according to Microsoft, the most careful they have designed so far. We are already looking forward to tasting it.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary
The anniversary of Microsoft’s extraordinary flight simulator is celebrated in style with a selection of classic aircraft, authentic milestones of manned flight, to feel like a pioneer soaring through the skies. And starting today, a surprise: the possibility of piloting ships directly from ‘Halo Infinite’ and going to the end of the sky… and much further.
Overwatch 2
The great news regarding the hugely popular franchise is that the new ‘Overwatch’ will be free to play. A good number of characters have been spotted arriving on October 4th in early access for those who want to dive into frantic 5v5 PvP, among other new modes that the team says are in the works. And there’s a new champion on the starting line: Junker Queen.
Forza Horizon 5 – Hot Wheels
For devotees of arcade driving, this is a marriage made in heaven: the hyper-realism applied to the insane speed of ‘Forza Horizon’ combined with an utterly iconic proper name of on-road nonsense, ‘Hot Wheels’. Tracks reminiscent of the iconic ‘Trackmania’, full of loops, ramps and nonsense at three thousand per hour. We can’t wait to try it out on July 19.
Fallout 76
Fans of ‘Fallout 76’ are in luck. And it is that this wonderful post-apocalyptic role-playing game is about to receive its biggest update to date. Microsoft has promised us that this revision will introduce even more demanding new challenges and a completely revamped reward system. It certainly sounds good. Of course, we will still have to wait a bit to get hold of this expansion. ‘Fallout 76: Expeditions – The Pitt’ is coming to our Xbox and PC in September.
Scorn
The murky and nightmarish worlds of ‘Scorn’, openly inspired by the biomechanical insanity of HR Giger, creator of the ‘Alien’ design, are the basis for a surreal walk through the darkest part of the cosmos. Viscosity, organic spawns, unthinkable monsters, scenarios that look like the inside of an intestine, vehicles that could be said to have come from the craziest Cronenberg’s imagination… nonsense not for all the stomachs that we will see on Xbox and PC next October 21.
Minecraft Legends
Minecraft is that simple and complicated at the same time: one of the most famous video games in history. And one so versatile that it has unleashed all kinds of parallel games, such as ‘Minecraft Dungeons’ or its narrative side at the hands of Telltale. And now it is the turn of the strategy, in a game that will allow us to explore biomes, extract resources and also build forts and fight battles under the codes of the most casual strategy. It is expected in 2023.
