Grubb claims that previously announced games such as Playground Games’ Fable, The Initiative’s Perfect Dark, and Obsidian’s Avowed won’t see the light of day at least until 2023. While a new batch of previously rumored titles have got the hearts pumping, others won’t release before 2023 according to prominent GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb. It’s not unusual for companies to show off trailers that give an idea of a game without much of the actual game of course – and the comment could be seen as a subtle dig at PlayStation’s recent showcase, where three of that show’s arguably biggest titles – FairGame$, Marathon and Metal Gear Solid Delta – all were announced with no gameplay, or in-engine looks, but rather just using CG trailers that gave us an idea of what to expect.The Xbox and Bethesda games showcase has been a packed showing for 30 titles, all slated to launch in the coming years for Xbox. The company has had a habit in recent years announcing games so far in advance, that all there is to show is an idea or concept trailer with little gameplay – with some examples including The Outer Worlds 2 and Fable. It’s a claim that’s sure to please those growing tired of announcements with just names and logos, and wanting to see something tangible from Xbox. Everything is either in-game footage, in-engine footage, or in-game footage with some cinematics.” Responding to a fan comment asking for a CG reveal of an unannounced game, Greenberg said “None of our first party games in the show are full CG trailers. Xbox’s VP of Games Marketing has revealed that the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase will feature all in-game or in-engine footage for its first party titles.Īaron Greenberg made the claim on his Twitter account, answering fans questions about the show.
