Xbox and Bethesda will live stream a “Developer Direct” on Wednesday, January 25, it’s been announced.
According to Xbox, the event will provide fans with “an inside look at some of the games coming to Xbox, PC and Game Pass over the next few months.”
That includes “big features, extended gameplay showcases, and the latest info for Xbox games launching in the next few months”, including The Elder Scrolls Online, Forza Motorsport, Minecraft Legends, and Redfall.
To dedicate the proper amount of time for a deep dive into Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield, a standalone show is in the works, the companies said.
The event will begin at 12pm PT/3pm ET/8pm GMT and include the following content, in Microsoft‘s words:
- The Elder Scrolls Online: Studio Director Matt Firor will unveil 2023’s major Chapter update, including the latest regions of Tamriel to become playable in ESO, as well as a major new feature coming in the game’s biggest update this year. The Developer_Direct will be immediately followed by the full, standalone ESO Chapter Reveal Event, hosted by Zenimax Online Studios, which will provide all the in-depth details ESO players will be keen to know.
- Forza Motorsport: The team at Turn 10 Studios have been hard at work, bringing fans the next generation of Forza Motorsport, built from the ground up to take advantage of Xbox Series X|S. Forza Motorsport is back, and we can’t wait to share more gameplay and exciting new details.
- Minecraft Legends: Mojang Studios will showcase an insider’s look into the PvP multiplayer experience in Minecraft Legends – the upcoming action-strategy game from the makers of Minecraft. Developed in partnership with Blackbird Interactive and launching this spring, don’t miss exclusive gameplay footage at the Developer_Direct.
- Redfall: The minds behind Dishonored and Prey, Arkane Austin, will showcase several minutes of gameplay from their upcoming FPS. The Developer_Direct will reveal single and multiplayer gameplay, showing more of how you and your friends will take down bloodthirsty Vampires on the picturesque island of Redfall, Massachusetts. Fans can expect to learn more about combat, customization, bosses, the open world, and more.
The event’s announcement follows a recent tease from Xbox boss Aaron Greenberg, in which he tweeted: “This should be a fun week, excited for the days to progress!”
Following Microsoft’s low-key participation at The Game Awards in December, where the company opted to make no major game announcements, Greenberg told fans 2023 would be “incredibly exciting” for Xbox and they wouldn’t have to wait long for news.
“We have a lot planned to show and share about an incredibly exciting year ahead for 2023,” he said last month. “Appreciate folks are eager to learn and see more. Timing is always key, but don’t worry you will not have to wait too long for what’s next from us.”
