Playground Games’ take on the iconic Lionhead franchise has been radio silent ever since its reveal back in 2020, but Fable could still make an appearance at the next Xbox Games Showcase.

Still, expect to see some kind of trailer or footage for Forza Motorsport, perhaps along with a release date announcement and the usual “pre-orders are available now,” as if we won’t just download it with Game Pass at launch. Or, at least, we shouldn’t, as there’s plenty of other games we could see instead. Xbox already spent some time earlier this year focused on the development and gameplay of Forza Motorsport, so we probably won’t see another 10-15 minute segment on Forza this summer. Considering Bethesda’s upcoming sci-fi RPG is receiving its own dedicated presentation, it seems likely that Xbox will spend some time during the showcase devoted to Turn 10’s long-standing franchise, paving the way for a fall/winter 2023 release for the racing game giant. If they want people to stay invested in what they have to offer, Xbox will need to go big, so with that in mind, we’re making some predictions as to what first-party games we’ll see next month at the Xbox Games Showcase.Īside from Starfield, Forza Motorsport seems to be the only game on Xbox’s docket that has a confirmed 2023 release date, and even then, it’s just a vague window. With Xbox keen to win back favor after the all-round drubbing Redfall has received upon launch, along with the tepid overall response to Halo Infinite, the big green brand has found themselves with their backs in the corner at yet another summer showcase.


They’ve announced an Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, June 11th, which will be followed by a Starfield Direct presentation immediately afterwards. With E3 being canceled again this year, and Geoff Keighley only vaguely threatening everyone with an entire summer of his face at the moment, it seems that Xbox have become the first to get their foot in the door. We’re rapidly approaching the summer gaming news blitzkrieg, where the biggest publishers and gaming companies in the world line up to parade their upcoming wares.
