Really the only downside I would say from the showcase was the lack of new reveals from XBOX first party. I knew there would be updates from previously announced games, but that's all it was.

On a side note, Fable absolutely would've been a needle mover as it is shaping up to be a huge release, but because it had already been announced for PS5, it was too late to pull the plug.

Asha mentioned late last week that the next 100 days will be about resetting the business. Establishing the return of console exclusives just a few days later, gonna make the next few months incredibly interesting to see what else will change.

in an update that's already live on the Xbox store and all other digital gaming storefronts (first spotted by Prima Games), you'll find that the second game in the Hellblade series can now be found under its new name: "Hellblade II: Senua's Saga." Yes, after two years, the sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice has embraced reason and revealed that it is not a new entry in the Senua's Saga series, but a direct sequel to 2017's Hellblade.

Project Mara got cancelled and got obviously Replaced with Senua

Also Matt Booty is a very unkind person.

Jeff Grubb is saying that Marvel's Blade from Arkane might be dead.

Personally, I think he is just speculating based on it being a no-show, but it being a no-show isn't that weird, they were clearly focused on 2027 games and Blade entered full development less than 2 years ago, it likely wouldn't be able to be shown yet or make 2027. The others shown have all been in development multiple years longer.

Thankfully there was already evidence that everything was fine

Nick is saying he heard Blade was fine too.

Wow, this does look undeniably gorgeous! Especially in the Covenant ships.

*Captured on PS5 Pro* damn it Ske7ch!

LOL I saw that. Like come on. PC exists!!!

According to Tom Warren, this Halo trailer was supposed to have been shown at the recent SoP, but Asha pulled it.

That explains the "captured on PS5 Pro" notation.

Is Driver San Francisco like a big deal game for XB360? Random question lol but I'm currently working on my friends computer, getting him set up with the game on Xenia. I've been playing the game through for at least an hour or so just to test everything and make sure there aren't any unforeseen hiccups. I'm on mouse and keyboard, and it's quite an experience so far. Reminds me of back when my bro and I were little (yeah I played GTAV back when I was in 4th grade and not Nintendo... crazy how that works LOL) and would just screw around in GTAV, driving around and creating chaos.
