My XO18 predictions:

1. Gears 5 trailer
2. Halo Infinite teaser #2
3. Ori 2 release date and trailer
4. Crackdown 3 trailer and delay to April (February is packed, no way they keep it in February)
5. Mouse and keyboard support full reveal, $150 lapboard + mouse combo built by Razer with Xbox branding
6. Age of Empires 1,2, and 3 Definitive Editions announced for Xbox One, 2 and 3 given release dates
7. 2-3 studio acquisitions, including Obsidian for sure
8. New trailers for 3rd party marketing deal games shown at E3 (DMC V, Metro Exodus, The Division 2, etc.)
9. Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer with a new world reveal (there are still alot of unannounced worlds and less than 5 months until release)
10. Yakuza series coming to Xbox, starting with ports of 0, Kiwami 1, and Kiwami 2 in 2019
11. Dead Island 2 re-announced (Dead Island 2 was announced to be in development by Sumo 2 and a half years ago and Sumo claims it is still in development. Even if they restarted development completely and didn't re-use any of the assets from Yager's version of the game, it should be far enough along to be announced now, and we've heard rumors that MS let Sumo use cloud tech from Crackdown 3 on Dead Island 2 in exchange for marketing)
12. 1st wave of Avatar games announced (we've heard these were in development for the new Avatar system, and were supposed to be similar to the avatar games last gen, such as 1v100, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Price is Right, etc.)
13. Sea of Thieves expansion announced
14. Forza Horizon 4 car pack or 1st expansion announce
15. Battlefield V launch trailer
16. Streaming service announced, basically a streaming version of Gamepass with all the same games, with a tease for the rumored next gen streaming console that will improve the quality of streaming by running latency dependent tasks locally
17. Borderlands 3 announced (was supposed to be announced with Xbox marketing at E3, and seemingly got delayed, but I doubt they delayed the announce a full year to E3 2019)

“Rising the likelihood of Obsidian Entertainment joining Microsoft Studios from 50/50 to 70/30. I heard other (press) people are on this now, too.

So close to say "measure me on this" - but not there, yet.”

Turn 10's head hinted at a 3rd series back at E3 2017, but we've heard nothing about it since then. Either we get no new Forza game in 2019, or we'll get the 3rd series, we'll have to wait and see. Either way, looks like both Turn 10 and Playground will get at least 3 years for their next Forza game, which will be a good thing for sure, since both games are likely to fall on next-gen and will need an improved engine and such.
