Undead Labs. I forgot State of Decay 3 even got announced. Geeees.

Edit: Had to remind myself of what was actually in the pipeline after that sudden realisation SoD3 existed.

Everwild - TBA (Announced November 2019)
Hellblade 2 - TBA (announced December 2019)
Avowed - TBA (Announced July 2020)
Fable - TBA (Announced July 2020)
State of Decay 3 - TBA (announced July 2020)
Perfect Dark - TBA (Announced December 2020)
Contraband - TBA (Announced June 2021)
Outerworlds 2 - TBA (Announced June 2021)

So we'll soon hit the mark where we have 5 games that were announced over 3 years ago and still haven't come out. If that isn't a wakeup call you are managing studios wrong I don't know what is.

Don't forget Elder Scrolls 6 (announced June 2018) and Indiana Jones (announced January 2021). With TES 6 we are already at 5 projects announced more than 3 years early within Xbox's current 1st party. 

TBH I didn't include Bethesda cause I think it's a bit early to blame any Bethesda problems on Xbox management. But yeah... also Forza Motorsport was announced in June 2020, didn't include it cause it's not "TBA" but that'll be over 3 years from announcement to release.

They just didn't have anything ready for the Xbox Series for whatever reason and so had to splurt out a bunch of announcements far too early to try and get interest in their new console. Don't think I've really seen anything like it. Sure other companies announce stuff way too early too but it's not usually basically your entire line-up of games.
