Asha's been making moves recently, wanting to get the hype train rolling for Helix already.

StarCraft
Diablo V
Physint
Elder Scrolls VI
Fallout (Obsidian)

All would be major releases that many fans would be looking forward to on next-gen hardware, and so far, reports and wording have been shown in Xbox/PC marketing. While it's too early to tell if any of them will be console-exclusive, it's smart to start building hype for these releases while the remainder of this gen plays out.

Well, let's be cautious here. Most of those things listed began under Phil Spencer's tenure. The Physint acquisition is indeed credit to her, and maybe Obsidian's Fallout really started going once she stepped in, but it feels like she's being showered with praise for even the most inconsequential of tweaks. 

While true, the point is primarily that plans change. Even at the last minute. While Xbox may deny that a PS5 version of E-Day was ever in development, it has been consistently reported that not only was a PS5 version indeed in development, but it was in development until well over 2 weeks before the reveal that the plug was pulled. Obsidian Fallout was something that she started as part of the recent "reset"

Everything else that started under Phil is still either early or in the middle of development now. If Asha was willing to pull the plug on Gears and Clockwork so quickly, you can only imagine what she's willing to do with the multitude of major projects that are lining up over the next several years, early in Helix's lifecycle.
