Sounds like Xbox has a new game called "Screamride" in the works

Trademark application from Microsoft hints at new project.

Microsoft has filed a trademark application for a new game called "Screamride." The trademark application, filedApril 9 with the United States Patent & Trademark Office, doesn't say much about the game other than that it will be an "online computer game," presumably for Xbox.

Of course, filing a trademark applicationn does not necessarily mean any such game is actually in development. We have reached out to Microsoft for comment.

Microsoft has been busy filing trademark applications for unannounced games of late. Earlier this month, the Xbox maker filed an application for a game called "Snap Attack," and in March, the company registered a new title called "Secrets and Treasure."

Wait Xbox One is launching in China in July?

So after reading all that, it sounds like pretty great news. China will get cheaper games, less Censorship, new games, a CEO that understands the Chinese market and Microsoft, and launching in July. Sounds like MSFT is moving fast to get XBO over there fast. Hopefully it all falls into place

i dont know.  I cant remember.  July sounds better than september though so im hoping they can get it out there in July.  That would be pretty awesome

I dont know much about China.  Its a Retailer in Shanghai is all i know.  So is this stuff confirmed? 

Woah O.o  I wonder when Microsoft will announce this.  Im shocked at how fast theyre getting to china.  I wasnt expecting until Tier 2 countries at least.

Microsoft's Chinese partner confident Xbox can compete against Android consoles

More low-end Android gaming consoles are coming to China. But Microsoft’s local partner isn’t worried, and expects the Xbox to sell well as a high-end gaming product.

China recently ended its ban on foreign-made videogame consoles, clearing the way for Microsoft to sell its Xbox in the country.

Last September, BesTV established a joint venture with Microsoft meant to focus on gaming and entertainment. Since then, both companies have been working to localize the Xbox product for the China, BesTV said in a stock exchange filing on Tuesday.

“We believe that future profitability will be great,” the company wrote.

BesTV, a local provider of Internet television services, is up against vendors of lower-end Android set-top boxes that can play games. But in the stock exchange filing, BesTV said it wanted to take a page from Apple, and position the Xbox as a higher-end product that mainstream consumers aspire for.

“The scale of our sales could be higher than those of knock-off and lower-end set-top boxes,” the company added.

BesTV plans to announce more details about its Xbox strategy later this month, a company spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Last year, China ended its 13-year-old ban on the import of foreign-made videogame consoles.

But in recent months, local Chinese companies such as Huawei, ZTE, TCL have developed lower-end Android set-top boxes that can play games. In ZTE’s case, the company’s Fun Box is priced at 689 yuan (US$112), and it is aiming at device sales of at least 3 million units this year.

The low price could give Android consoles a leg up when trying to sell against traditional gaming systems such as Xbox One that can start at $499.

BesTV’s spokeswoman declined to offer more details on the Xbox’s launch date and its price in China. But the company, along with Microsoft, has been investing in creating gaming content. In the future, upcoming titles might revolve around Chinese culture, such as the martial art, T’ai chi.

Microsoft did not immediately comment.

More will be announced later this month according to BesTV xD
