The Xbox and PC Game Showcases were today. While they weren’t as good as some of the ones in the past, they were still pretty good. Gears of War: E-Day, Halo Campaign Evolved, and the Doom: The Dark Ages DLC got release dates. A new Spyro game was announced, Clockwork Revolution got a release window, and a transparent 25th anniversary Xbox Series X was shown. I am more surprised with what wasn’t shown, if I am being honest. There was no mention of a new Elite Controller, any update on their new backward compatibility features, or a Fallout 3 Remake. What was shown has me excited for what’s coming though.
Gears of War: E-Day
I was already excited for this game. This new trailer and release date just added to my excitement. Four player co-op from the start of the game, new guns, and great looking graphics.
Halo Campaign Evolved
This game is being built from the ground up using Unreal Engine. It’s not just a remake of the original Halo Combat Evolved, it’s a new experience. There are three new never before seen levels that take place before the original campaign.
Metro 2039
I just finished the original three Metro games. Artyom’s story may be done (I did kill him in 2 out of 3 games), but that doesn’t mean the series is over. In the last game we found out that Moscow isn’t the only place that survived and this game looks like it takes place after all of Moscow learns the truth.
Fable
Hayley Atwell in Fable? That is just perfect casting. I was already excited to play another hero of Albion, but with her being in the cast now, I am looking forward to the game even more now. I have always loved the humor in the series and this looks like it is going to be on par with the previous games.
Clockwork Revolution
This game reminds me so much of Bioshock Infinite, but it’s not part of that series at all. Steampunk and time travel? Count me in, I can’t wait to change time in this game.
Spyro: A Realm Beyond
I played the full Spyro series in 2025. This new game looks like it’s going to be bright and just as fun as the other games.
DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations
DOOM: The Dark Ages came out in 2025 and the DLC has not been released yet. The DLC for Doom Eternal came in two parts and was pretty long. This looks like it’s going to be a full story experience that expands the story of the base game.
Return to Xbox
Asha Sharma said that they’d be getting back to Xbox and she announced that Gears of War: E-Day would be a console exclusive to Xbox Series X/S. It looks like she is making good on that promise.
