Again, outside of a date and time, there isn’t a ton of new info here. However, if this thing isn’t chock full ofHalo Infinitefootage, I’ll eat my left shoe. Ina recent interview with IGN,Phil Spencerdid say that they wouldn’t hold the console launch off for any one game. That said, if there is anything they need to show, it’sHalo. That game alone will move systems, especially if it’s able to hit the console’s launch window.
Of course, the Xbox Series X event will have more than justHalo. Games likeDying Light 2,Cyberpunk 2077, orOutridersmight make an appearance. With all the news coming out today aboutAssassin’s Creed: Valhalla, it might make the most sense. But don’t rule out something likeWatchdogs: Legion. And there are sure to be several games we know nothing about. Those will likely factor in as well.
Regardless of what games are shown off at this Xbox Series X event, it’s going to be great to just see some of them in action. With E3 shut down because of the coronavirus, events like these are going to be the norm this summer. Xbox seems to be making the smart move and getting out in front of the pack with this May 7 event. Be sure to stay tuned to DualShockers. We’ll have all the news out of the next Inside Xbox and everything else happening in video games.
