Microsoft Summer Game Showcase Roundup: Star Wars, Fable, and more
Because E3 is sadly no longer a thing, Microsoft/Xbox showcased many of its new upcoming titles at the Summer Games Fest 2023 which is definitely not E3 but also kind of is. Anyway, here are the trailers for some long-awaited games that will be coming out in the next year or maybe two or hell maybe three because screw us for getting our hopes up. Descriptions are my own, enjoy!
Star Wars Outlaws
Set between the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Outlaws follows Kay, a rogue-ish character in an open-world adventure spanning the galaxy's sprawling criminal underworld. She and her crew, including a cute lil companion named Nix, are preparing to pull off one of the biggest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen and undoubtedly chaos ensues. From Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment, Outlaws comes out some time in 2024.
South of Midnight
From Compulsion Games (We Happy Few, Contrast) comes South of Midnight. With a unique art style and mysterious trailer OP is personally looking forward to this one. No release date has been set.
Fable
A long-awaited sequel to the Fable series, which hasn't seen a fully-fledged entry in the series since Fable 3 in 2010, Fable introduces us to Dave (portrayed by Richard Ayoade) who expounds upon his love of vegetables before a rather unexpected turn in which our true protagonist is revealed and he tries to crush her. What seems to be a characteristically quirky inclusion in the series, Fable has no release date yet.
Starfield
The VERY long-awaited Starfield got its own showcase in which gameplay was shown for the first time. After years of development the iconic Bethesda Studios' (Fallout, Elder Scrolls) new baby will feature a massive open-world universe with 1000 worlds and 250,000 lines of dialogue. True to form, Bethesda has made much of the game contingent on player choice and character customization with personality traits and background to influence your options. The long wait ends September 6
33 Immortals
A rogue-like that resembles Hades, but can apparently be played with 32 other players at once, 33 Immortals by developer Thunder Lotus (Jotun) will be out in 2024.
Payday 3
Bank-robbing Co-op FPS Payday 3 takes place after the events of, you guessed it, Payday 2 and features characters from the previous title. Release date September 21 2023
Avowed
Avowed is a new RPG from beloved game studio Obsidian (Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds). The story centers on a deadly plague wreaking havoc on a fantastical world and you have been sent to fix it all up with magic and swords. Release date 2024
Sea of Thieves x Monkey Island crossover
In a crossover which will surely please someone, presumably, Monkey Island comes to Sea of Thieves. A new story campaign and returning voice actors from the Monkey Island series livens up this online pirate adventure in a FREE update that is released on July 20th.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
You fly planes. Comes out in November
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II
A sequel to 2017's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, this trailer is supposedly captured from actual gameplay on an Xbox and if the first title is any indication, it will be gorgeous. Releases in 2024
Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
OP has never played this series and is thus baffled by this trailer. A Japanese man wakes up naked on an American(?) beach. The next entry in the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise will be out in early 2024.
Fallout 76 goes to Atlantic City
Contrary to the previous entry OP loves the Fallout series but has nothing good to say about Fallout 76 or its notorious online-only multiplayer-for-no-reason-other-than-$$$ setup. Apparently 15 million people are playing it despite the extreme backlash to the shameless cash grab so here we are. Atlantic City. Coming soon to Fallout 76
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
A very pretty new IP from the illustrious Capcom (Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Ace Attorney) about demons and swordplay. Little is known about this game, including its release date.
Forza Motorsport
A vroom-vroom game for all you vroom-vroom heads! You race cars, drive cars, get inside cars (one assumes). Turn 10's Forza Motorsport comes out October 10.
Persona 5 Tactica
A new tactical game for the well-loved Persona 5 universe. Comes out November 25th
Jusant
A mountain climbing game from the studio Don’t Nod (Life is Strange). You climb mountains! Out this fall

Dungeons of Hinterberg
A modern-fantasy exploration RPG arriving in 2024
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
The first major expansion for CD Projekt Red's bungled-release-turned-actually-not-bad Cyberpunk 2077, Phantom Liberty takes protagonist V and Keanu Reeves on a new adventure featuring Idris Elba. Out September 26
Cities Skylines II
Sim City but new! Part two! Releases October 24
Metaphor: ReFantazio
A new JRPG from some of the creators behind Persona 3 and 4. Out 2024
Towerborne
From the creators of The Banner Saga trilogy, evil forces conspire to destroy humanity in the co-op fantasy adventure Towerborne. Out 2024
Clockwork Revolution
Last but not least, the very cool looking Clockwork Revolution, a steampunk-ish FPS in which you can manipulate time to change the world. No release date set.
And that's it (other than a 'new' xbox with a bigger hard drive whoop de fuckin do)! Game on, friends.
