Earlier this year, Xbox finally gave us a first peek at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the new first-person action-adventure under development at Wolfenstein developer under the watchful eye of producer Todd Howard. That first trailer certainly got tongues wagging, and delivered plenty of the puzzle solving and derring-do the series is known for, but, of course, fans wanted more.

It looks like Great Circle has received a bit of a […]
Note: This is a developing story. More info about Perfect Dark will be added soon. Xbox’s new Perfect Dark project has been one of the biggest outstanding questions this generation. In development for around six years at new “AAAA” studio The Initiative, with Crystal Dynamics pitching in to help since 2021, the new Perfect Dark has largely remained sequestered in the shadows, and we’ve received multiple reports the project is in a “rough state.” Well, today during the Xbox Games Showcase we got a first look at the new Perfect Dark in action, and it seems like it’s actually coming […]

What’s the deal with Contraband, the Xbox-published co-op game coming from Just Cause and Rage 2 developer Avalanche Studios? The project was announced back in 2021, and that’s about all we’ve heard about it. That said, with a big Xbox Games Showcase coming up, and old rumors that Contraband may be targeting 2024, some have got their hopes up that we may see the game soon. Well, you may want to cool your jets. On the most recent episode of Colt Eastwood’s Xbox News Cast, one of the hosts Magg said Contraband isn’t coming until “well into” 2025 as the […]
With Sony's State of Play over and a Nintendo Direct possibly coming later this month, all eyes are focused on Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase, which is slated to go live on Sunday, June 9, at 10 AM Pacific Time. Speculation is already running rampant among Xbox fans, and today, Spanish leaker eXtas has added extra fuel with some rumors from his own sources. To start with, he said that a first-party Xbox game will be shadow-dropped during the showcase. This means it will be released in some capacity right away. It could be a beta, a demo, or a full […]
For some time now, we’ve been hearing two key rumors about 2024’s entry in the blockbuster Call of Duty franchise – a) that it would be a continuation of the Black Ops series developed by Treyarch, and b) that it would be set during the 90s with the first Gulf War being a focal point. Well, last week Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was officially announced as this year’s CoD title, and now a new live-action teaser has essentially confirmed that 90s Gulf War setting. A new teaser trailer posted to the Call of Duty YouTube channel entitled “Open […]
There have been a number of clues recently that the announcement of the next entry in the legendary Doom series may be forthcoming, and now, a fresh set of rumors have potentially revealed more about what we can expect. According to dependable insider Tom Henderson, the next big entry in id Software’s franchise is indeed coming soon and will be known as Doom: The Dark Ages. Per Henderson, Doom: The Dark Ages has been in development for roughly four years, which makes sense, as Doom Eternal came out in 2020. The game was developed under the codename “Year Zero,” and […]
Hints have been dropping for a while, but today Activision officially announced this year’s entry in the mega-blockbuster CoD franchise – Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Is Call of Duty coming to Xbox Game Pass? When Microsoft first began pursuing it’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, many assumed using Call of Duty to bolster Game Pass was one of their goals, but things have changed since then. Game Pass growth has slowed, badly missing growth targets, and Xbox boss Phil Spencer has admitted there’s a ceiling to its success. While some Activision Blizzard games like Diablo IV have been added to Game Pass, recent reports suggested that Microsoft was still “evaluating” whether to do the same with the headliner that is Call of Duty. Well, […]

As we head deeper into 2024, the traditional “E3” season (of course, E3 is dead now, but you catch my drift) for gaming announcements and showcases is coming up fast. In recent days we’ve begun to hear some murmurings about Microsoft’s big 2024 showcase, with Gears 6 reportedly being there, and now a few more potential details may have filtered out. According to The Verge’s Tom Warren, a longtime Microsoft insider, the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase will take place on Sunday, June 9. That lines up with past showcases, which typically take place on a Sunday shortly after Geoff Keighley’s […]
