What Release Dates Will We Get At Xbox Developer Direct This Year?
Xbox has already confirmed that DOOM: The Dark Ages and South of Midnight are targeting 2025 launches, so this event feels like the perfect chance to fit them into the calendar properly. That’s not a guarantee though – the likes of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Avowed didn’t get nailed-on dates at last year’s show.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, then, perhaps feels the most likely of the bunch to get a date considering it’s not actually an Xbox first-party game, and therefore there’s no need to try and find a suitable space amongst the likes of Fable, The Outer Worlds 2 and whatever else is on the cards for Microsoft in 2025.
They can’t leave us hanging entirely though, right? Even if it’s not a proper date, can we at least get a month for DOOM and South of Midnight (and whatever the fourth game is?). It’d be great to see whether we’re looking at early, mid-year or late releases for these games, especially considering that GTA 6 is still targeting a late 2025 launch as things stand. We definitely don’t want these games to be doomed out of the gate by competing with Rockstar!
