Grounded 2! With a house this time in addition to a garden.

I don't know who owns the IP anymore but be kinda neat to get another Dungeon Siege game. 3 was a bit of a mess but whatever been a while. Different people. Let Obsidian make another. MS did publish the second one.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

I don't blame them for continuing the survival game route, especially with its solid player numbers, but I'd rather see them do another Pentiment or a middle-market isometric RPG.

Tyranny 2! I loved the concept of an RPG that routinely rewards you for being as evil as possible 😈

Bungie was a big part of my childhood, they're a staple in the industry. I know they've always had issues, although they tend to have been blamed on others in the past, first Microsoft, then Activision, though it has became clear in recent history that those companies may have been the only things keeping Bungie from tearing itself apart and most the issues are on Bungie's management. I don't care where Bungie went, or that I wasn't really a big fan of Destiny, I always wished them luck, even if I'd never play another game from them again.

It's sad to see Pete Parsons utterly destroying what was once a great company, it's frustrating as hell to see such incompetent management, I'm now convinced that without Microsoft, Activision or Sony, Bungie would have shutdown a long time ago, I'm not even sure if Pete Parsons stepping down at this point can undo the damage done. I hope Sony replaces the entire upper management but that still hasn't happened despite all the reports of Pete Parsons being a garbage leader and it'll be too late if they don't act now.

Xbox @ Gamescom 2024

Following this year’s jam-packed Xbox Games Showcase, we’re excited to return to gamescom and connect with fans in Cologne, Germany from August 21-25 to show off even more of what Xbox players have in store. 

The community is what makes gaming – and gamescom – so special and there will be something for everyone this year, whether you’re on the show floor in Cologne or watching at home via our livestreams. This year the Xbox booth will be overflowing with exciting upcoming titles, one-off experiences and fantastic photo opportunities for games coming to Xbox, PC, and Game Pass this Holiday and beyond. We’ll also deliver three days of broadcasts live from the show floor, join up with our amazing community for another FanFest, and plenty more. Keep reading for more details on everything we’re up to at gamescom 2024.  

Xbox Booth

This year the Xbox booth will feature over 50 gaming titles from Xbox Game Studios, Blizzard, Bethesda, and our amazing third-party partners – spread across more than 240 gaming stations – alongside amazing photo ops and experiences, and specially constructed theaters for exclusive looks at upcoming titles.

We will also host exclusive theater presentations of Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Starfield: Shattered Space.  

Joining the Xbox booth for the first time, Blizzard Entertainment will make their return to gamescom with multiple offerings for Diablo and World of Warcraft. Ahead of the launch of the Vessel of Hatred expansion in October, Diablo will bring an exclusive public hands-on gameplay demo of the Spiritborn class to the gamescom show floor, with a Diablo Immortal Helliquary boss tournament taking place as well. World of Warcraft celebrates the launch of The War Within on August 26 with the power of a special immersive experience, giving gamescom attendants the chance to feel the thrill of Skyriding in Azeroth.  

The Xbox booth will also have playable titles from our third-party partners, including Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws, Studio Wildcard’s ARK 2, Saber Interactive’s Space Marine 2, Rebellion’s Atomfall, and the return of GSC Game World’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl with an all-new demo. And in our Indie Selects area – dedicated to diverse, exciting upcoming titles from independent developers – we’ll host games including Maximum Entertainment’s Squirrel with a Gun, Noodlecake’s Winter Burrow, 11 bit Studios’ Creatures of Ava, and more. 

The above is just a small selection of the titles playable on the Xbox booth. For the full list of playable titles visit here. Whatever you’re into, we’ll have something for you. 

Beyond the Xbox booth, Overwatch 2 will also have a joint stand with Porsche, highlighting their new collaboration by featuring a life-sized D.Va statue modeled after the new all-electric Macan, along with an invitation for fans to enter a real-life rendition of an iconic Overwatch 2 map.
