15 minutes of Redfall.
13 minutes of Forza.
9 minutes of Minecraft Legends.
6 minutes of ESO.

43 minutes total.

Give or take 1 minute for intro/outro, Lol.

They'll have more than just those 4 games, the promo for the event said that they would have games from studios including Arkane, Turn 10, Mojang, and Zenimax Online. Saying "including" implies they have games from other studios as well, not just those 4. Those are just the 4 headliners that will have the longest time spent on them.

I'd say we'll get something like:

  • 1 minute intro
  • 8 minutes Forza (mainly Motorsport with a chance of Horizon 5's 2nd expansion getting a trailer as well)
  • 4 minute Gamepass block with both the January 2nd update and maybe some new day one Gamepass announces for later months
  • 6 minutes Minecraft Legends
  • 1 minute Goldeneye Remaster trailer and release date
  • 4 minutes Elder Scrolls Online 7th expansion reveal
  • 10 minutes on various other games (possibilities here include HiFi Rush reveal, Project Belfry reveal, an update on Ara, and more)
  • 10 minutes Redfall
  • 1 minute Outro with short Starfield teaser trailer and the date for the Starfield Developer_Direct and possibly Starfield release date (just to allay fears it is getting delayed out of 1st half 2023)

45 minutes total

Tbh, I'm doubting that.

I know including implies that but they haven't outright confirmed it so I'll remain pessimistic for now, if they had more than that then why would they not say "we'll also have Game Pass announcements" or "we'll have a few smaller surprises" unless they're doing the old "under promise, over deliver" but big doubt on that as well.

If Goldeneye or Age of Empires II HD for example was here, there is literally zero reason to not at least mention them as being in the showcase, they don't even have to put them on the art (but they could have done), they could have at least mentioned them in the blog post "oh and we'll be showing some gameplay for Age II on Xbox and Goldeneye HD"

There is no reason to not at least say that, they are both announced titles, there is no reason to hide them, there is no "unrealistic expectations" being set, arguably Age of Empires II on Xbox deserves a mention just as much as ESO's next expansion does because it's Age on Xbox for the first time in years and people might want to see how it works on console.

Showcase is also 43 minutes long according to Greenie.

Here's a few deep dives I found...

FIFA 23 | Official Gameplay Deep Dive - YouTube - 11 Minutes.

Cyberpunk 2077 – Deep Dive Video - YouTube - 14 Minutes.

Rainbow Six Extraction: Gameplay Deep Dive Reveal - YouTube - 7 Minutes.

I think we'll have 6 minutes minimum per title and Redfall is described as a "very long" deep dive at that.

ESO trailers are 3 minutes long usually for next expansions, plus they're revealing this "new big feature" they've been teasing for the past 6 months.

Hope I'm wrong but for now I'm going into it with the expectation that it is just those 4 titles and anything else is a bonus.
