The Xbox and Bethesda event is coming later this month
The Xbox Game Showcase and Bethesda Developer Direct will be held on January 25, with new details on Redfall, Forza Motorsport, and more.
Announced on Xbox Wire, the event will start at 12:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM UK (that’s 6 AM AEST on January 26th). There’s also a standalone Starfield program in the works, which means it won’t appear in the Developer Direct, but Xbox and Bethesda still have plenty to show before what looks to be a busy 2023.
The offer will give “an inside look at some of the games coming to Xbox, PC and Game Pass in the coming months” provided directly from the developers.
Four games have been confirmed so far, with The Elder Scrolls Online and Minecraft Legends joining Forza Motorsport and Redfall.
New gameplay and details will be revealed for Forza Motorsport and Redfall, while Minecraft Legends will take an inside look at the PvP portion of the game. ZeniMax Online Studios Director Matt Piror will also reveal the 2023 main chapter update for The Elder Scrolls Online, and the full reveal event will also follow the developer director.
While Starfield is perhaps Bethesda’s most anticipated game, open-world co-op shooter Redfall is also expected this year, but it still lacks a firm release date. From developer Dishonored Arkane Studios, Redfall introduces players to a world filled with vampires that they can conquer alone or with up to three friends.
It’s also been a while since Xbox shared an update on Fable, its upcoming entry in the long-running fantasy RPG series, but nothing has been said about its appearance. Although we’ve learned a few tidbits here and there – like Playground Games hiring Horizon: Forbidden West – Xbox hasn’t made an official announcement about Fable since July 2020.
