Context: Jez said that Xbox has marketing for Assassins Creed, Star Wars Outlaws, ReFantazio and one other "major" 2024 third party title, so this is him confirming he wasn't talking about Metal Gear Solid.

I'm happy to see Xbox actually trying again when it comes to getting AAA 3rd party marketing deals, the last few years it felt like they had pretty much given up on 3rd party marketing deals.

As for what this 4th major 3rd party marketing deal could be, I can think of a few possibilities:

  • Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. EA has stated it will get a gameplay reveal this summer, and it has previously leaked to be releasing Holiday 2024. Xbox already has their EA Play on Gamepass deal, so this would be an easy deal for them to make
  • 2K Games Summer AAA reveal. 2k has stated they have a AAA reveal for this summer. There are 3 main possibilities for this AAA reveal, the next Mafia game (the most likely candidate based on leaks, in development since 2020 if I'm not mistaken), Borderlands 4 (in development since 2019), or Bioshock (in development since 2018, though rumored to have seen a development reboot summer 2022, so it is the least likely of the 3 to be revealed this summer, as they may not have got alot done in 2 years since a possible reboot). While Sony usually gets 2K marketing deals, Xbox does occasionally get them, for instance Borderlands 3 in 2019.
  • Tomb Raider. Crystal Dynamics has been working on their next Tomb Raider game since 2020 I believe, so with 4 years of development so far, it could see a reveal this summer.
  • Wonder Woman. Monolith has now been developing Wonder Woman since Shadow of War released in 2017, 7 years of development, so a gameplay reveal this summer could very well happen. 
  • Splinter Cell Remake. Ubisoft has been working on this for several years now and it was recently leaked to be getting gameplay this summer, and the series has history on Xbox, but it would be strange for Xbox to have marketing deals on 3 major Ubisoft titles at once.
