A reliable insider suggests Xbox may announce a 2025 Developer Direct showcase as early as tomorrow. These showcases typically offer in-depth previews of upcoming Xbox first-party titles, and with a strong 2025 lineup, a Developer Direct announcement seems highly probable.
The inaugural Xbox Developer Direct, held in January 2023, memorably included a surprise release of Tango Gameworks' Hi-Fi Rush. Unlike traditional presentations, Developer Directs feature individual studios presenting their games, providing detailed insights into development, mechanics, and core concepts. A second event in January 2024 highlighted titles such as Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 and Avowed.
Recent tweets from gaming insider eXtas1s hint at a potential announcement tomorrow, January 9th, with a speculated date of January 23rd for the 2025 Developer Direct. This aligns with a recent statement from Microsoft insider Jez Corden suggesting an imminent announcement.
Potential Games for the January 2025 Developer Direct:
Xbox's 2025 game slate is robust, potentially making this the largest Developer Direct yet. Several titles could be featured, including:
- Avowed
- Doom: The Dark Ages
- Fable
- South of Midnight
- The Outer Worlds 2
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake (rumored)
id Software's long-awaited Doom: The Dark Ages could receive a significant update, while The Outer Worlds 2 might get a release date and in-depth gameplay reveal. Avowed could also see a final trailer before its February 14th, 2025 launch. South of Midnight and Fable, both highly anticipated, could also receive detailed showcases and release date confirmations. Adding to the excitement, an Unreal Engine 5 remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is rumored.
Following a successful 2024 with releases like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and STALKER 2, Xbox is poised for an even bigger 2025. The upcoming Developer Direct will undoubtedly play a key role in setting the stage for the year ahead.
