Xbox Developer Direct Date Incoming

A credible gaming insider suggests Xbox may announce a Developer Direct presentation tomorrow, January 10th. These showcases typically offer in-depth previews of upcoming Xbox first-party games. Given Xbox's strong 2025 game lineup, a Developer Direct announcement is highly anticipated.

The inaugural Xbox Developer Direct, held in January 2023, notably included the surprise release of Hi-Fi Rush. The format uniquely features first-party (and sometimes third-party) studios directly presenting their games, providing detailed insights into development, mechanics, and core concepts. A second Developer Direct followed in January 2024, highlighting titles like Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 and Avowed.

With a robust slate of 2025 releases, a new Developer Direct is expected. A recent tweet from a known Game Pass leaker, eXtas1s, hints at a tomorrow's announcement, potentially for a January 23rd event. This aligns with a similar prediction from Microsoft insider Jez Corden.

Potential Games for the January 2025 Developer Direct:

The 2025 Developer Direct could be Xbox's most substantial yet. Several highly anticipated titles are likely candidates for showcasing:

• Avowed
• Doom: The Dark Ages
• Fable
• South of Midnight
• The Outer Worlds 2
• (Rumored) The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake

Id Software's Doom: The Dark Ages, absent from updates since summer 2024, could receive significant attention. The Outer Worlds 2 might finally get a release date and in-depth gameplay reveal. Avowed, slated for a February 14th, 2025 release, could receive a final trailer. South of Midnight and Fable, both long-awaited, are also strong contenders for extended showcases and release date announcements. Furthermore, rumors persist of an Unreal Engine 5 remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion making an appearance.

Xbox concluded 2024 with major releases like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and STALKER 2. 2025 promises to be even bigger, and this Developer Direct will likely set the stage for the year's releases.
