Game news Xbox presents 4 major video games, competition with the PS5 promises an exceptional year 2024 for gamers!
The Xbox Developer Direct took place last night, Thursday January 18, at 9 p.m. (French time). The opportunity for the brand to speak for the first time this year and announce its roadmap. The next twelve months promise to be full of big releases.
The Xbox conference started with new information about Avowed. This is the next fantasy RPG from studio Obsidian, which notably developed the excellent Fallout New Vegas (considered by many fans as the best Fallout in first person view) but also more recently The Outer Worlds. It’s a team habit, the title will emphasize important narrative choices. As you will see in the video, in terms of gameplay, the combat system promises to be dynamic – whether with magic, melee weapons or even firearms. The release of the software is planned for this fall 2024.
The highly anticipated Hellblade 2 (created by Ninja Theory) also gave news. Its release date is scheduled for May 21, 2024. As a reminder, here you control Senua (played by Melina Juergens) who suffers from psychosis and who literally hears voices. The developers worked with neuroscientists, mental health specialists and people who suffer from this illness to best represent these abnormal disorders of the mind.
Visions of Mana by Square Enix also showed the tip of its nose. Scheduled for this summer 2024, this will be the first episode to be released on Xbox (it will also be available on PS4, PS5 and PC). For Anagund, it’s a big return for the series since the last real episode was 15 years ago.
