We’ve already had the Xbox Partner Preview among us, that 25-minute event we told you about just a few days ago. Exclusively focused on third-party video games, meaning those developed by other companies, the show has allowed Microsoft to flex its muscles with other studios. After all, these are games that will appear on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC, although also on other consoles (let’s not forget this).
Having said that, here are all the trailers shown during the event, so you don’t have to watch the whole thing.
Yakuza Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
New trailer for Yakuza Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the new game in the series that goes on sale this upcoming January 26, 2024, also for PS4, PS5, and PC. Among the major highlights of the trailer is an impressive mini Animal Crossing where we’ll be able to manage our own vacation resort. This is completely serious and looks amazing, really.
Ikaro: Will Not Die
No release date has been announced yet for this Ikaro: Will Not Die, which is developed by FuturLab and Thunderful, the creators of Powerwash Simulator. Yes, the experience is completely different from what has been shown so far, as it offers a futuristic rogue-lite where speed will be the most important aspect. It’s worth noting that no platform has been announced beyond Xbox, which is logical.
Still Wakes the Deep
Without a final date yet, aside from an early 2024 release for Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 5, and PC, Still Wakes the Deep is developed by the people at The Chinese Room, one of the best studios when it comes to narrative adventures, thanks to titles like Dear Esther or the classic Amnesia: A Machine of Pigs. This time, the game takes us to an oil platform that looks truly eerie.
RoboCop: Rogue City
After a brutal demo during this past Steam Next Fest, the RoboCop game is set to premiere on November 2nd, also for PlayStation 5 and PC. There’s just one week left to enjoy a first-person game that has captivated thousands of users worldwide after its demo.
Dungeons of Hinterberg
Another one without a final date, just a “early 2024” release for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X | S: Dungeons of Hinterberg. Inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, the game takes us to an Alpine mountain where we will embark on various adventures, all centered around role-playing and magic.
Spirit of the North 2
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Konami has showcased gameplay footage for the first time in a trailer of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the remake of the third installment. Thanks to this, we know that it is being developed using Unreal Engine 5 as its engine, and despite being an alpha, it looks quite impressive. In fact, its alpha state indicates that there is still a long way to go before its release (it doesn’t even have a release date yet).
Manor Lords
The Finals
We will have to wait until 2024 to get our hands on The Finals, but the good news is that there will be a beta starting this upcoming Friday for approximately a week. Available for PS5, Xbox Series X | S, and PC, this shooter holds a lot of promise, with environment destruction as its most significant feature.
Ark: Survival Ascended
Ark makes a return with a new installment, Ark: Survival Ascended. This release is available today on PC and will arrive on consoles in the coming month of November. It has been developed using the Unreal Engine 5 as its engine, and if you’re a fan of dinosaurs, it’s a must-play.
Alan Wake 2
The event concluded with the new gameplay trailer for Alan Wake 2, a game about which we won’t have to wait long to learn more: it hits the market in just 48 hours on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X | S. Remedy’s new creation looks fantastic, reminiscent of Resident Evil 2 Remake more than ever before.
