Looks like Xbox is doing another January Developer Direct this year. The last few years, in January, they show off games that will be coming soon. It’s a smaller event showing only a handful of games and usually has some release dates revealed. This year’s event will be on January 23 at 1PM Eastern.
This year’s Developer Direct is going to focus on four games: South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and an unannounced game. Rumor has it that the unannounced game could be the rumored <a href=”/gaming/oblivion-remake-announcement-in-january”>Oblivion Remake</a>. Seeing as how the three known games all have 2025 release dates, whatever the unreleased game is, more than likely has a 2025 release date as well. It could very well be released on the 23rd for Game Pass.
If it is, it could be why the initial Game Pass drop for the year was a little underwhelming. Two Microsoft owned IP releases in a month could be why they didn’t add a lot of third party games to the lineup. Either way, we will find out what the third game is and potentially get release dates for the other three in a few weeks. Which ones are you excited about?
