| Ryuu96 said: NateDrake predicts that Microsoft will publish 10 games in 2025, keyword being predicts, but then he does have a lot of insider knowledge so lets have a little fun, he is including Towerborne but not multiplatform releases of late ports, or DLC/Expansions.
So that'll leave two, Jez said State of Decay 3 was ready for 2025 but pushed out, Tom has hinted that Gears is releasing in 2025 but I seriously doubt it and he deleted the reply so I don't know how sure he is, or if he meant to tease it like that. Double Fine's title is likely #9 but I'm not really sure what #10 would be. It can't be OD since that has been delayed due to strikes. Clockwork and Perfect Dark - Nope. Contraband seems like it's in development hell. Everwild is apparently progressing nicely but I think 2026 makes more sense. Probably an XGSP title? Double Fine and an unannounced XGSP title being the last two feels likely. |
Clockwork could be #10 possibly, afterall it has been in development since 2020 (longer than Gears E-Day which seemed to start in 2021 after Coalition finished their work on the Gears 5 XS port and the Matrix UE5 Tech demo) and had gameplay footage ready Summer 2023, not in-engine, but actual gameplay clips in that reveal trailer. Could also be Contraband maybe, but alot depends on if it was fully rebooted or just partially rebooted.
Edit: Oh yeah, we can't forget Project Mara, the original vision for that game was a 2 hour or so long experience set primarily in a single penthouse apartment, an apartment which was already fully modeled like 3 years ago. Maybe since then the game has been cancelled, or maybe the decision was made to expand it into a larger game, but if it's still small surely they can get it out within a year and a half of Hellblade 2, especially since a significant chunk of work was already done before Hellblade 2 released.
