Tag, you're it.
So many games, but only one choice...
First of all, sorry if I missed a game.
Secondly, some games are voluntary missed because they are most likely timed exclusives. For example, no Warhammer 40K Darktide, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, or Indiana Jones (wait and see for this one)
Flight Simulator isn't here because it's released on PC, so I'd rather leave its place for another unreleased game, it's up to me you can @me and insult me.
Same poll for Playstation Exclusives: here
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
While Senua's Saga: Hellblade II was one of the first games announced for the Xbox Series X, we have no idea when it will come out
Built from the ground up for the next-gen, the in-engine trailer showcases the insane visuals Ninja Theory aim to achieve when the game hits the Xbox Series X.
And after the success of the first game, this sequel definitely feels like it takes the same dark, terrifying tone as its source material.
Halo Infinite
Halo Infinite was delayed to 2021 after the negative reactions to the game's visual quality. Still, this one has a strong aura and is awaited by a large majority of fans.
As for the story, we know it'll continue Master Chief's s journey and, according to Chris Lee, studio head on Halo Infinite, will "mark the beginning of a new chapter and challenge for the Chief, but it will also respect and continue threads that led to this point."
Everwild
This brand new IP from Rare – the developer behind Sea of Thieves, Banjo-Kazooie, Battletoads, and more – is filled with colorful and fantastical creatures that interact with humans cautiously in a slightly otherworldly setting.
It's not clear yet what kind of game it'll be, but whatever form it eventually takes, it's clear that it's going to be a beauty.
Avowed
Set in the Pillars of Eternity universe from Obsidian Entertainment, Avowed is likely years away.
Still, it has gathered attention thanks to the first trailer and the legacy of the developers. You definitely want to keep an eye on this one.
This another first-person RPG will surely build on the studio's penchant for epic adventures filled with memorable characters and touches of humor.
Fable
That's right folks. Fable is officially coming!
Very much a reboot for the series under new developer Playground Games, this new Fable still channels the original games with fantastical creatures and wondrous places. We can also expect the game to continue the tradition of letting players shape the story through their interactions with the game world.
It'll hit Xbox Series X, Windows 10 and Game Pass at some point in the future, we're just not sure when. Or whether we can wait that long ! it’s easily one of the most anticipated Xbox releases at the moment.
Bright Memory Infinite
Set in a futuristic city in the year 2036, Bright Memory: Infinite is a lightning-fast action game with touches of FPS developed by FYQD-Studio.
Composed of a few people, the team is focused on high speed action gameplay and demand quick reflexes from the player as the trailer perfectly showcase.
Scorn
Scorn is an upcoming horror title that leans heavily into H.R. Giger's art styles to create its grotesque world.
Think boney, fleshy, internal organ themes for interior designs. Guns apparently made out of bits of raw chicken and gristle. Wholesome stuff ! The artstyle has caught the attention of many gamers during it's reveal.
The Ascent
The Ascent, is adding another take to the ‘sci-but we’re all screwed’ view of the future.
This co-op supported shooter from Curve Digital has no firm launch date but should be dropping sometime in 2021. The game look gorgeous and has a strong cyberpunk aesthetic coupled with fast paced, top view gameplay.
Forza Motorsport
Like Fable, the simulation racing series Forza Motorsport is also getting a bit of a soft reboot.
Ditching the number rather than launching as Forza Motorsport 8, for example, this is a refresh for the series that's currently early in development. It'll run at 4K, 60fps and focus on delivering a dynamic, connected world.
No release date as yet, but when it does arrive you can be sure to hear a lot about it !
State of Decay 3
State of Decay is back with the third entry in the zombie survival-horror series. Currently in early development, it's looking to bring fans the 'ultimate' zombie survival sim, and from the looks of the first trailer, it's going to brutal.
Set in a more wintry environment, there are possibilities that you'll have to manage your internal temperature in addition to other survival needs, as the plague seems to have now spread to animals and not just humans.
Perfect Dark
At the 2020 Game Awards, Microsoft unveiled the long-rumored project of The Initiative — a full reboot of Rare's classic sci-fi spy adventure Perfect Dark.
This reboot of the series keeps the secret agent gameplay and our hero, Joanna Dark, into an eco sci-fi tale set in the near future. Expect plenty of spy gadgets, some gloriously hybrid buildings, and of course aliens along the way.
Details are scant on exactly how Perfect Dark will look and play, but it's already a big name to look at.
Starfield
Xbox players will soon see the fruits of Microsoft’s $7 billion purchase of Bethesda! Starfield is likely to be the first Xbox Series X-exclusive Bethesda title on consoles to be released.
If Bethesda can recapture the magic of Skyrim and Fallout, this might be the massive single-player experience that Xbox’s exclusive lineup has been sorely lacking
The Elder Scrolls VI
Like Starfield, Elder Scrolls VI is now part of Microsoft's Xbox Game Studios, alongside Bethesda's acquisition.
And just like Starfield, almost nothing is known about the game. It will be single-player and a traditional Elder Scrolls-style open RPG, but we may be waiting a long while to see this game materialize.
Next Doom
id Software and Bethesda Softworks will release The Ancient Gods — Part Two, the second expansion for Doom Eternal, on March 18.
While that story has already provided some pretty wild twists and turns across two games and the downloadable content, the biggest question will soon be what comes next for The Slayer.
One thing is sure, director Hugo Martin is exited:“It’s as if Sam Raimi was given a Transformers budget to go make a sequel to The Evil Dead"
Gears of War 6
According to Jeff Grubb, VentureBeat reporter who often has reliable information, Microsoft has "too much to do" at the moment, and does not want to focus on Gears 6 for now.
In addition, The Coalition has separated from his gameplay designer Nigel Loster, who left for The Initiative to work on Perfect Dark, another exclusive to the Xbox manufacturer.
Gears fans will therefore have to wait a while before returning to the franchise...
Forza Horizon 5
Forza Horizon 5 is one of Microsoft's most anticipated games and although no official announcement has been made, there are rumors that Mexico will be the destination of the fifth installment in the series.
With the approach of E3, we will be very quickly fixed on the much awaited Forza Horizon 5, which has the longest development time since the first opus.
First of all, sorry if I missed a game.
Secondly, some games are voluntary missed because they are most likely timed exclusives. For example, no Warhammer 40K Darktide, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, or Indiana Jones (wait and see for this one)
