The Xbox Games Showcase starts in just under 10 minutes, and will run for approximately two hours. The Outer Worlds 2 Direct will immediately follow afterwards.

Anyone keeping an eye out for anything from this one? Here's what was shown last year for anyone wanting to see what might show up again this year.
I'm expecting some of the typical things like Fallout 76 and Flight Simulator, as well as anything shown last year that didn't release yet. A fair amount of games from the last showcase already came out or got shown at other presentations this week already, so maybe we'll see a lot of new announcements during this one.

[Mr EliteL]

I wasn't going into this expecting anything in particular, I did forget what happened last year so also wasn't expecting games that hadn't released yet.

Dang, Xbox getting their own handheld now? OK, alrighty then. For what they showed I guess this'll be good for those who want either one of those.

Beast of Reincarnation interested me a little, and pleasantly surprised of the Invincible fighter, was wondering which type of main console/PC game, other than I think it has some kind of mobile game out, that the series will get. The game being 3v3 is a good addition instead of being just a 1v1. I'll keep an eye on both I think.

Oh and uh, I'll never play a Tony Hawk game, but Michelangelo being added randomly is quite fitting as he does like to skateboard, Doom Slayer however...wait, what? Well there we have it, some good down time from beating demons I guess.

Ah and yet one last thing, the final reveal of the showcase. Thanks, just what we needed to finish off and get people hyped, the 30th CoD game ooh yes. (I'm not too far off am I?)

[Moonface]

Grounded 2 was easily the highlight of the show for me because I love the first game. I popped off hard as soon as I recognized the TV show at the start of the trailer matches Grounded 1.

Aniimo just makes me question how long until Nintendo come knocking on the door because I'm sure their lawyers will find something.

Surprised that there was no dedicated Silksong trailer given the amount of footage we got during the ROG Xbox Ally reveal. Now to see whether it actually releases when Xbox have said it will or if it'll be 2/2 on the game missing a date given during an Xbox show.

[Maniakkid25]

A Game Freak game that ISN'T Pokemon related? Blasphemy!

I don't understand the point of a Persona 4 remake. With Persona 3, that was understandable: P3P doesn't have any cutscenes (or the ending -- yes, I will always refer to The Answer as the ending), playing more like a visual novel, and FES was a nightmare of spaghetti code that made it effectively impossible to port, so they remade it. But this is... confusing. We've got Persona 4 Golden ported to PC and modern consoles. Why are we remaking it? Why not spend that time making Persona 6, instead?

[Moonface]

A Game Freak game that ISN'T Pokémon related? Blasphemy!

Well it isn't the first time Game Freak have made a non-Pokémon game. What shocked me more was to see them making a game outside of a Nintendo console and one with a visual style that is significantly different and more detailed than anything they've done before. Alas, their track record for non-Pokémon games isn't great so it's hard for me to have a lot of faith in this one turning out well. However I hope it does turn out well, for Game Freak if no one else.


Thinking on it, I was wishing some of the trailers over this week gave me more of an idea of what the game is about and/or plays like, but Clockwork Revolution's trailer in this showcase was a lesson to me in how doing that has the potential to just overwhelm the viewer with details.
