Xbox Games Showcase: All the Biggest Game Announcements and Trailers

With the next-generation consoles just a few months away, anticipation is building. Both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 have plenty of individual hardware advantages. However, what really makes a console successful is the game library it boasts. Sony has seemingly had the upper hand in this respect with high-profile releases like Spider-Man: Miles Morales already announced.

Yet, things look to be improving for Microsoft. The recent Xbox Games Showcase demonstrated the great titles that are coming to the Xbox Series X. Ranging from platform exclusives to remasters and cross-platform games, there are plenty of exciting releases for the console. Here are the biggest game announcements and most interesting trailers from the Xbox Games Showcase.

Halo Infinite

Microsoft is putting a lot of effort into marketing Halo Infinite. The first-person shooter franchise is arguably the flagship for the Xbox brand. In that respect, it makes sense for Microsoft to invest heavily in the upcoming sci-fi title. Despite some graphical issues in the trailer, the new game does look impressive. The developers are obviously going for the nostalgia factor, describing Halo Infinite as a spiritual successor. Of course, the game will carry on the story from Halo 5: Guardians. But it does seem to be purposely trying to emulate Halo: CE in both look and gameplay. Halo Infinite is set to release for Holiday 2020.

Fable

Fable was perhaps the most surprising title shown at the Xbox Games Showcase. Although there have been rumors of a reboot or sequel for this franchise for some time, nothing official was announced. That all changed at the Xbox Games Showcase. Despite the lack of real footage, the trailer did reveal a game was actually in the works. It very much looks like the new game will carry on the traditions of the series. Both the fantasy setting and trademark humor appear to be present, making it a highly anticipated title. Fable is speculated to release in 2023 at the earliest.
