Xbox has confirmed that it will once again host a Developer Direct event in the new year, scheduled for January 22. Fans can look forward to updates on highly anticipated titles such as Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and Beast of Reincarnation.
The date and details for the next Xbox Developer Direct were officially announced in an Xbox Wire post. As in previous showcases, the presentation will be led by the developers themselves, with Playground Games and Game Freak taking center stage this time around.
One of the highlights will be Fable, which was previously delayed beyond its original 2025 release window. This event will feature a gameplay reveal for the game, and there is a strong possibility that we could finally receive a release date after five years of anticipation.
Playground Games won’t just be focusing on Fable. The studio is also working on Forza Horizon 6, the next installment in the popular racing series. While details remain scarce, it is known that the game will be set in Japan, which promises an exciting new environment for players to explore.
Additionally, Pokemon creator Game Freak will be showcasing Beast of Reincarnation, a new action-adventure game slated to launch on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC later this year. This fresh title is expected to offer a unique experience for fans of the genre.
Mark your calendars for January 22 to catch all the exciting reveals and updates during the Xbox Developer Direct event!
