Xbox’s First Showcase Of 2025 Will Have Deep Dives Into Doom: The Dark Ages And More – Kotaku

Microsoft has a huge lineup of big games for the Xbox Series X/S and PC (as well as PlayStation 5) this year, and it’s getting the ball rolling early with a January showcase to give players a better look at Doom: The Dark Ages and a bunch of other stuff coming out in 2025.Xbox’s first Developer Direct of the year will take place on January 23 at 1:00 p.m. ET, with looks at games coming day-one to Game Pass Ultimate and beyond. Unlike a traditional showcase, the Developer Direct offers fans a chance to hear directly from the people making the games in mini behind-the-scenes vignettes that put a human face on the blockbuster products years in the making. The January Xbox Developer Direct is set to include deep dives on all of the following: The art for the showcase also lists a fourth game with a series of question marks. It could be something from one of Xbox’s partners or a first-party release. Fable is also set to come out in 2025, and there’s speculation that Gears of War: E-Day could potentially hit this year as well. Or maybe Rare’s long-in-development Viva Piñata-like survival adventure game Everwild has finally turned the corner and is ready to come out. That game was revealed back at a 2019 Xbox showcase but subsequently faced a number of departures and a full reboot. Rare randomly teased new art for the game at the end of 2024 after years of silence on the project. Whatever the mystery game is, it’s coming out in 2025. .
