Xbox Direct?

Welcome again! It’s one other Tuesday, which implies tonight there can be a brand new episode of the Spot Dodge Podcast solely on Destructoid. Matters: Tonight the crew discusses all these loopy bulletins from The Recreation Awards. From Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Misplaced Demon to Ken Levine’s long-awaited return with “Judas“. Let’s get into it!

One factor that may’t go untalked about is Xbox’s absence from The Recreation Awards. That is actually shocking contemplating the corporate is coming off of a particularly lackluster yr of first-party content material. Not solely that, however Xbox has three main AAA video games launching within the first half of 2023. With Starfield, Redfall, and Forza Motorsport on the horizon.

Positive, Recreation Cross positively delivered the products all year long, however the first-party ready recreation is getting a bit redundant. I’m actually hoping Xbox has one thing particular up its sleeve after having such a quiet yr. Aaron Greenberg hinted the writer has ‘one thing’ coming quickly. However that doesn’t change the truth that Xbox’s presence at The Recreation Awards was sorely wanted.

My hope is that Microsoft has an “Xbox Direct”-style digital presentation deliberate for early subsequent yr. A brand new showcase following the likes of Nintendo’s Directs and PlayStation’s State of Play occasions. A one-stop-shop for all issues Xbox, Xbox Recreation Studios, and Recreation Cross. If so, then that’s a-okay with me. I’ve been eager for Xbox to comply with the chief on this division. If not, effectively rattling.

We’ve got lots deliberate to point out and share about an extremely thrilling yr forward for 2023. Admire people are wanting to be taught and see extra. Timing is at all times key, however don’t fear you’ll not have to attend too lengthy for what’s subsequent from us. ??? https://t.co/d1dca2i2Nt
