Yesterday, we saw Microsoft unveil ton of games and gameplay footage during the Xbox Showcase and if you missed it, we have compiled the list of all the major updates
Microsoft showed off a lot of Exclusives and brand new titles at the event last night talking about some known names like Halo Infinite, Forza Motorsports, Fable, Destiny 2 DLC and more.
So let’s dig right into the Xbox Showcase for the Series X.
HALO INFINITE
We finally got a better look at the game and damn! was it a feast. The development team for the game from 343 Industries confirmed that Halo Infinite is kind of a “spiritual reboot” for the franchise with few new things like the Open World. So for the people who have never gotten into the franchise can jump right into the story from the start.
Yes, Halo Infinite comes with an Open World gameplay type but it still isn’t what you can call a fully Open World. It’s free to explore but the storyline is still linear. But still confirmed to be much much larger than last two instalments put together.
Halo Infinite is said to be running at smooth 60fps with 4k support.
Halo Infinite launches this Holiday Season on Xbox One, PC and Xbox Series X.
FABLE
A new beginning for the franchise, as said at the Xbox Showcase, Fable on Xbox Series X and Windows 10 will be the next in line after the last title — Fable III released in 2010.
Fable is a choice driven RPG Game changing the outcomes of the game depending on your actions.
There wasn’t any release date for the upcoming title yet.
FORZA MOTORSPORT
Forza Motorsport franchise has been at the core of Xbox for a long time now with the first one being released in 2005 for Xbox ( original ).
We are expecting big updates from the last part like 4K at 60 FPS with better ray tracing for more realistic and robust experience.
As said by Microsoft, the title is still in “early development” and there’s no release date for it as of now.
