Microsoft is holding a second Xbox Developer_Direct event on January 18th. Much like last year’s initial event, Microsoft will detail some of its plans for Xbox this year and provide updates on games that are planned for release. The developers of the Indiana Jones game, MachinesGames, are going to reveal how the title is progressing with “more than 10 minutes of game and developer insights.”
Microsoft will also provide updates on Hellblade II, Avowed, and Ara: History Untold. Microsoft says there won’t be any updates on games from Activision Blizzard, though. It doesn’t look like we’re going to hear much more about Towerborne or Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, either.
If Microsoft’s second Developer_Direct is anything like the last one, then we’ll get to see even more gameplay of many of the games planned for Xbox in 2024. Last year’s event was around 45 minutes, with no hosts and just straight into gameplay and announcements. Expect to see a similar format next week.
