Summary

  • Xbox might announce a 2025 Developer Direct presentation tomorrow, as per a reliable insider.
  • Developer Direct presentations often preview upcoming Xbox first-party games for the year, with deep dives and insight from top studio developers.
  • Games like Doom: The Dark Ages, Fable, South of Midnight, Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, etc. could be featured in Xbox Developer Direct 2025.

A trustworthy source inside the company hints at an anticipated announcement of a Developer Direct presentation for Xbox tomorrow. Typically, these presentations unveil upcoming games from first-party developers for the year ahead. Given that Xbox has a strong roster of highly anticipated titles set to launch in 2025, it seems plausible that they might organize a Developer Direct within the next few weeks.

In January 2023, Xbox hosted its inaugural Developer Direct event, during which Tango Gameworks’ Hi-Fi Rush was unexpectedly released. Unlike traditional presentations, the Xbox Developer Direct showcases games developed by various studios (first-party and sometimes third-party). This setup offers detailed insights into game development, mechanics, fundamental concepts, and more, information that might otherwise be overlooked in a standard presentation. In January 2024, another Developer Direct took place, highlighting titles such as Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed, and others.

Given the strong lineup of Xbox original games set for release in 2025, it’s likely that a new Developer Direct event could be forthcoming. A trusted Game Pass tipster named eXtas1s has hinted at a potential announcement of an Xbox Developer Direct presentation as early as tomorrow, January 9th. Additionally, the insider implied that if such an event is to occur, it might be held on Thursday, January 23rd in 2025. Lending more weight to this speculation is a recent tweet from reliable Microsoft insider Jez Corden, who stated yesterday that news about an upcoming Xbox Developer Direct event is imminent.

For the games that Microsoft’s Xbox might exhibit during their Developer Direct in 2025, they have a plethora of titles lined up which could make this event the most significant one yet. After being quiet since summer 2024, id Software seems to be preparing to unveil fresh details about its much-awaited game, “Doom: The Dark Ages,” at the January 2025 Xbox Developer Direct. Obsidian’s “The Outer Worlds 2” and “Avowed” might receive in-depth insights and potential release dates. Additionally, trailers for “South of Midnight” and “Fable,” two highly anticipated Xbox games scheduled for 2025, could be shown along with their release dates. To top it off, there are rumors suggesting an Unreal Engine 5 remake of “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion” might make its appearance at the January 2025 Xbox Developer Direct as well.

2024’s second half saw a successful streak for Xbox with hit games like “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6”, “STALKER 2”, and “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” among others.
