2024 seems to be already shaping up to be an exciting year in the gaming world, especially after 2023, which was arguably the best 12 months in gaming history. Last year, Xbox also launched Developer Direct to showcase new games and provide information for announced projects.
At the 2023 developer face-to-face meeting, Xbox announced the year's critically acclaimed game "Perfect Sound Wave". Recent rumors suggest that Xbox will return this month with another showcase event to reveal even more exciting games.
The news comes from eXtas1s, who has accurately leaked information about games such as "Baten Kaitos" and "GoldenEye 007" before. According to his source, the next Xbox developer direct meeting will be held this month, and the official announcement will be made a week before the event.
As in 2023, the event is likely to take place in the last week of January, so an Xbox announcement within the next two weeks is very likely. Fans can expect Xbox to highlight games such as Hellblade 2 and Oath at the event, as they are very important AAA titles in the Xbox 2024 lineup.
In addition, eXtas1s further pointed out that DoubleFine, the developer of "Brain Navigator", may display a small-scale first-party game similar to "Perfect Sound Wave". This game may be released immediately after the announcement like Tango Gameworks did with "Perfect Sound Wave", but it is still unknown. The leaker speculates that the game may be Kiln, a trademark Microsoft registered last year.
