Rumor: Microsoft to announce Two New IP’s by Q1 2009

The Xbox 360 seems to be running short of exclusives this year, barring Halo Wars and a couple DLC components from its earlier games the machine has very little to look forward to but we found out that there was indeed a lot cooking inside Microsoft’s stove that they are yet to let out.

A spokesperson from Microsoft that it indeed has atleast two new properties that have been in development for quite sometime, he goes on to say -

“We’ve always focused our attention in the year of operation concerned, I would safely say that our community will see atleast two new games being announced exclusive to the Xbox 360 console by the end of Q1 2009″

A bit of probing also revealed that one might actually be an online fighter based on a very popular franchise, the other is an action adventure game from one of their internal studios. Well it seems Microsoft is far from giving up this generation without a solid fight.

Action adventure = Tomb Raider style game?

And online fighter based on popular game? DoA?

Rare and an Action/Adventure title

DoA online

makes sense.

Don't say a game like Tomb Raider. Better say like Shenmue or uncharted or, in a way, Fable.

@ dirty: Well, couldn't really put a finger on the genre, so I just said TR to get a comparison ^^

dont forget about killer instinct 3

 KI3 Online confirmed?

Microsoft has said repeatedly since E3 '08, whenever asked about their '09 lineup, that they have "tricks up their sleeves" or "bullets in their chamber". We're going to see some announcements, and they have hinted ever since last E3 as well that they are going to do something big at this E3.

I think there are definitely a couple well kept secrets in store for 360 owners yet to be displayed.

Action adventure would likely be a Tomb Raider style answer to Uncharted.

Fighting game would likely be Killer Instinct.
